Europe - the place that produced Nokia, Palm, Skype - should have erected a Great Firewall in 2000's. Instead, it bought into the idea of an open internet and ended up getting assimilated into US tech eco-system. This seemed harmless at the time, but Trump 2.0 has exposed it as a catastrophic strategic mistake.

Not too late - perhaps EU will get through EU AI Act / GDPR and similar barricade of red tape?

Why pay developers as much as their American counterparts (instead of 3-6x less), when you can build "a wall". That will fix things!

US can create dollars out of thin air, can't compete with that. The regulatory wall is required, the alternative is subservience, which tbh is broadly acceptable to most Europeans I think
