In Europe the threat is to both the people and to the countries as a whole, as USA threatens to close off services for political leverage!
The US government is using the IT infrastructure Europe has build an dependency on against European countries.
The dependency was built on the trust that USA was a country build on respect for the law and democracy, this is evidently no longer true. Meaning the situation has changed dramatically.
In USA USA is in danger from itself more than anything outside USA, in Europe large parts of our infrastructure is in danger from USA, because USA is failing democracy and the rule of law.
This threat has already been enacted in reality, showing the US government is not beyond using such shenanigans:

Obviously the US government isn’t threatened by the US government.
Thanks, I changed it from country to government, to make it clearer, but country really is more accurate, as it’s every level of the country.
