Im half joking. Obviously they still play a massive role and will continue to do so, but you also cant possibly deny that there is a drastic ongoing shift away from relying on US resources, software and weapons. Already multiple EU countries have shifted from US made weapons systems to EU made ones. The movement away from the US cloud industry already started before 2025, but its getting accelerated significantly due to Trump. The US economy will lose out on hundreds of billions of dollars in international contracts because of Trump and those things wont be reversed even if Trump doesnt become a long term dictator.
