You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. America does not have any more or less of an ability to forge certificates compared to Europe.

Not wanting to live in a surveillance state is not religious, it's common fucking sense.

There is 0% possibility the US gov cannot publish a certificate in all major browser that could usurp any dns from a registrar in a country under US dominance.

Just because they haven't used that card uet doesn't mean they can't. The clearnet is already a surveillance cesspit. There is no escaping state forces anywhere on it.

It's just the europeans being complacent about leaving this capability to the americans. For now they depend un US cyber command for it, and they won't do it to google for the sole benefit of europeans.

There is 0% possibility the US gov could do it covertly.

Sure, they could force it overtly but the rest of the world would have forks of Browsers like 15 minutes after it went through.

Besides, there is no need to go after the browsers. If you want a fake cert for a few days, EU has trusted certificate authorities just like the US that can issue a cert for any website (CAs are usually not restricted to specific TLDs). The CA would just get removed from browsers within days, same as browsers being replaced.

PS: Btw, iTrusChina is also a trusted CA. If the US is not concerned about their main adversary, China, forging certificates, why should EU be worried about an ally doing so?
