You are so wrapped up in your Anglophobia, rather like the Brexit types here are with Europe, you don't even know that the engine type originated with a joint commercial project with RR and BMW, who last time I looked was German which is, perhaps you can prove otherwise, also within Europe.
Going back and currently, M45 (RR and France), Adour (RR and France), MTU332 (RR and France), IAE V2500 (RR, MTU, with also Italian involvement and horror of horrors, PW), RB199 (RR, MTU, Italy), EJ2000 (RR, MTU, Italy and Spain), TP400 (RR, Germany, MTR390 (RR, France), Pearl (Civil for biz jets from RR's German division).

CFM-56, a US-French project which had it's origins in the engine planned for the B-1 Bomber, first application as the CFM-56 the KC-135 tanker re-engining and DC-8 in the civil area.
The EADS plants for helicopters, including for the US military, so I think we can say that those responsible for these non UK projects are pure in sharing your Anglophobia? Or course not, the idea is absurd.
Or is it that RR are the only European powerplant entity that can go toe to toe with the US giants, is it jealousy then, certainly isn't any knowledge, rather 'logic' that reminds me of our worst Brexit types, which for me includes the current wretched government, or the 'logic' of the MAGA types.
