Obviously. Any European nation that doesn't treat America and companies ultimately under US political control a strategic risk would have to be asleep at the wheel. "Perfidious" is the word.

Palantir doubly so, since it has close ties to the current regime. (No, this is not a political discussion - it's simply about proximity to power, and the interests of said power)

The US-European alliance is on its deathbed.

German intelligence offices snub all software period, the specificity is just attention-grabbing journalism.

> Germany's domestic intelligence agency has reportedly chosen a data analysis system from France, instead of US-based Palantir.

That's the summary from the article, and directly contradicts your point that they're snubbing all software.

Isn't this a good thing though? Europe becomes more self-reliant and less dependent on US technology, the US is able to refocus to the Pacific which is a more strategically relevant area, the anti-US people in Europe become happy, and the anti-Europe people in the US become happy.

It's not like tourism or cultural distance is going to disappear. All that disappears is the military entanglement, which to be honest, was mostly obsolete after 1991 anyway.
