I really want to question why almost all countries depend on US tech corporations in the first place. This dependency on a few oligarchy from one foreign country is an red flag indication that the international market was rigged through hypocritical government intervention and Bretton Woods institutions by the Liberals.
I’d argue not caring stemmed from a failure to understand long term implications. They simply assumed that the US would always be on their side, and never considered what would happen if their interests diverged as they do now.
The US always had divergent interest from other countries. Besides, the US Liberals have the doctrine of self-interest unless you gain benefit from alignment of interest. Does it take a Donald Trump to help them realize the danger of one-sided foreign dependency?

Seems like most countries failed to understand the importance of digital sovereignty.
Can’t say they failed to understand it when they simply didn’t care in the first place.

Trump is definitely making it hard for the vassals to pretend this is an equanimous relationship.
