At the same time, the US controls the financial monetary system (petrodollar), dominates the world military-wise, tech and so on. If one is able to follow this logic, does that mean that Europe and other countries should also take hostile measures against the US since they control "supply chains" and has "great but subtle" powers over them?

Yes they should and in some ways they are with various laws aiming to curb the power of large (US) tech companies. They also seem to have stronger laws protecting domestic industries than the US although I might be wrong. Europe failing to protect itself properly against either the US or China (see how much of UK infrastructure is owned by China) isn't an argument for other nations not doing so.
