@dmianDmian 🇪🇺 And this is exactly why you need to disentangle from us. It gives us too much power.
The knowledge exists now, and steps have begun to divest from US tech. Dethroning it will help secure independence.
I don't want to see my country able to bully allies, ever again.
@solitha 
@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Exactly. We will do it, but it takes time. But the EU knows how to do it. We did it with GPS > Galileo. We’ll do it with Visa/Mastercard > Digital Euro. And there are efforts in other areas. It’ll be slow, but it will happen. We learned from the pandemic, and we’re learning from the actions of the current US government. The US can’t be trusted anymore, sadly. Insularity will be a consequence, but so be it.
