  • Europe and Canada are rapidly accelerating their shift away from 80 years of dependence on the US (Pax Americana) for security, technology, and economic stability, driven by recent US actions and a changing global power dynamic.
  • Recent US actions, including the White House-ordered slowdown of Ukraine’s Star Shield satellite internet and President Trump’s waiver of new Russia sanctions, are cited as direct catalysts for Europe’s resolve to “take back the keys” and reduce reliance on American control.
