Agreed. We need a second source, preferably located in the EU. They could share operational code/protocols/etc. I.e. during peace time they could collaborate.

The EU started building the Galileo GNSS ("GPS") in 2008 as a backup in case the US turned hostile. And now look where we are in 2025 with the US president openly talking about taking Greenland. Wise move. It seemed like a gigantic waste back then. It was really, really expensive.

Then lots of European countries ordered F35s from Lockheed Martin. What an own goal. This includes Denmark/Greenland.

But i digress...



Actalis is European, Italian to be more precise, owned by Aruba (if that last thing is good or not can be probably discussed, though).


ZeroSSL is Austrian, however since I last looked at them it appears they were acquired by a US corporation.
