Building on US tech means the US generally has control over whether you can deploy your military assets, and gives a foreign, militaristic/fascist trending power, deep insights into your military operations. Pretending like these risks are not greater than, or at the very least on par with, “its hard to integrate systems/build our own” is silly.

I know, but it is not what I said.

I only pointed out that simple saying “its hard to integrate systems/build our own” did not automagically means that it is said by some US influence campaign or disinformation. It can be the result of an assessment done by someone with some knowledge of the reality.

The fact is that such thing is hard and if we want to break free from US tech (as much as possible) we should be aware of the fact, which obviously did not mean that we should give up.

The USA is a threat. They are actively attacking anyone they feel like. They are actively antagonistic towards their “allies” and neutral nations.

Yep, and if Canada and EU had the balls, they simply would send a message like “man, we own your debt, keep quiet or we could just sell it” and then just sell about 10% to just show how it would feel.

So any news story about how hard it is, is likely a US influence campaign.

Not necessarily. To build such systems is hard, they are not simple systems you can put togheter in a couple of weeks.

What is true is that it is difficult to distinguish between a true warning about the difficult to build such systems and a US influence campaign.
