Well you are not wrong, I would also add corrupted and cowardly politicians. We are in worse position than China, and under full control of daddy USA, no matter what they say. If US would pull switch, it would be catastrophe for the EU.
Even the premier EU companies such as ASML are heavily reliant on US supply chain.
But why can't we be bitter?
You can't be bitter because Europe squandered technological and capital market parity with the US in just 20 years.
