Europe and Canada are no longer just talking about reducing their dependence on the United States. They are starting to build, buy and hire around it. Finland is helping Ukraine create a satellite network nobody in Washington can switch off, Europe is recruiting American scientists and building its own space infrastructure, and Canada is opening new trade and defence relationships. A strange pattern is emerging: every time Washington creates a vulnerability, someone else turns the replacement into an industry. Decoupling is becoming a business model.
