I don't trust the EU tech owners, but I recognize that they are at an disadvantage to the US counterpart (and nationalism is a useful tool to sell their product) so they won't be making overt moves to dismantle European democracy.

But they are not that simple, I remember reading that long ago people wrote they were amazed about how they were built, especially the portable ones
