The pope wants Ukraine to surrender. That would give Russia a green light for endless war

"We now have the bizarre situation that anyone with any sense can see that #America is no longer a reliable #partner […] It's also not easy to realize that our #relationship with America is over after 80 years. […] So stop #surrendering our #society to America. Have the #courage to use #different #software and #services. Even if it takes some getting used to.” — Bert #Hubert

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert's writings

The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.
