As an EU citizen, I find it to be a huge improvement to detangle my data from US-American entities. Especially with the election of Trump and January 6th. Maybe Americans haven't fully realized what that meant for US-EU relations for the next hundreds of years. The US is just not a politically stable country until further notice.
- alexklarjr 4y agosince when EU became politically stable? Last time i checked you were at war with Russia.
- kcartlidge 4y ago> since when EU became politically stable? Last time i checked you were at war with Russia. Russia's attack on Ukraine has no relevance at all to whether the EU is or isn't politically stable. There may be other reasons you can cite, in which case fair enough, but that example is a non-EU third party attacking a non-EU third party. And the EU is not at war with Russia.
- alexklarjr 4y agoEU did everything to start it, established economic blockade of Russia and sending weapons to Ukraine. At this point it is a war between Russia and EU in Ukraine.
- suction 4y agoPutin's disinformation really worked wonders on you.
- alexklarjr 4y agoMy opinion is irrelevant, it is what Putin’s generals think. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-war/moscow-says-eu-nato-gathering-countries-for-war-with-russia/2621725 https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-war/moscow-says-eu-n...
- trasz 4y agoAnd? Even Russians don’t care about what their military believes in - see the hilariously low social status of soldiers within Russian society. Why would anyone else care? As a reminder, we are discussing whether EU is politically stable.
- trasz 4y agoBlockade and weapons are consequences of Russian invasion. Russia started this war. And yes, unfortunately it can't be allowed to persist in its current shape.
- alexklarjr 4y agoSo it is war then?
- Scarblac 4y agoUkraine is, not the EU. The US is at least as involved in the war as the EU is. But I wouldn't call many EU countries very stable either. It can still be a win to not send private data to the US though, tracking has become far too precise and omnipresent.

- iakov 4y agoYou are demonstrating the level of geographical and political knowledge that people expect from americans. I hope this is satire.
- concordDance 4y agoEh? Jan 6 wasn't very noteable (a bunch of disorganized protestors are let into congress, but the state was not meaningfully threatened), the US has long had political instabilities, the business plot was way worse, but who has heard of it now...
