As an European, I very much prefer not giving Russia's ally important technology.

Fair, but shouldn't the Netherlands or EU decide that, not the United States?

It's pointless. They'll just produce domestically whatever you refuse to sell them. And then ASML will lose its monopoly by having to compete with Chinese firms.

Chinese firms are already trying to replicate it. Giving them one to study may just accelerate the process.
