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.
Never had been.
You just now figured this out?
There’s always been a risk, but now that risk is actually playing out. It’s a bit smug to pretend that nothing has changed.
Not to mention that Bert Hubert has been beating this drum for a long time. However, he also sees that there is more momentum now to actually affect change, which involves latching onto changing circumstances.
Pretending that things are the same as ever only leads to a defeatist attitude, where people conclude that apparently it’s worked so far, might as well continue doing it.
