Or made up.

Microsoft will FIGHT for Europe!!!
Right up until 5 minutes later where some “service” of USA tells them to quit it or the people responsible will go to jail.

How would EU detect that US companies hand over information to American law enforcement contrary to the agreement?
The problem is that because of the agreement EU countries could pretend like it isn’t a real problem, despite by American law it obviously is. Now EU is waking up to reality, but we still can’t prove it’s happening.

Problems absolutely started already with George Bush, who said: “If you aren’t with us, you are against us.” While at the same time he fed us false information about weapons of mass destruction, that made many countries join USA against Iraq.

The fact that that idiot was elected twice was not good, the fact that Trump got elected was not good.
The fact that Trump got elected again, when it is evident he wants to dismantle Democracy in USA and dismantle NATO is insane!!!
That he now threaten Canada, Panama and Denmark militarily. While obstructing Ukraine and helping Russia, makes it insane he is allowed to continue.
Canada is probably the biggest traditional USA ally of all. And Denmark has been an extremely reliable ally that also participated (helped USA) in Iraq.

Obama was very well liked, and things almost got back to normal because of him, but even with Obama there were problems. Like non Americans apparently had no rights regarding surveillance. And also there were numerous grave incidents of illegal surveillance of European politicians and EU parliamentarians.

Like the saying goes, with friends like that, who needs enemies?

PS: I am not an anti American by habit, this is a new thing for me, in my childhood I admired USA. But I’ve really come to despise many aspects of American politics, and the flawed democracy. And it’s sickening to hear them call America land of the free, when they don’t even have basic civil rights that are universal throughout EU.

That’s been the case for a long time, all you have to do is claim national security, and things can be handled under anti terror laws, where everybody is treated with the rights of a terrorist, meaning they basically don’t have any rights. And can be held, prosecuted and judged in secret, without normal rights to outside legal counsel!!

This has been the case since George Bush! Pushed through with the help of the 9/11 terror attack, and is what Obama called a “good balance”!
My bet is that it’s even worse now under Trump.

vowing to fight the US government in court to protect Euro customers’ data if needed.

Problem is they simply can’t do that, the anti terror laws are enforced in secret, supported by secret laws and processed in secret courts. If you work against them in any way, you can be treated as a terrorist just for that.

The agreement between USA and EU for USA to respect EU law was never worth the paper it’s written on. Because US law simply doesn’t agree, and is designed to trump the agreement.
If you reveal anything from above secret law enforcement, you are yourself guilty of acts against the safety of United states. And if you in any way obstruct it, you can be held, prosecuted and judged as a terrorist with basically no civil rights.

It’s insane that EU fell for it, and played along in the American circus to dismantle human rights and democracy.
If EU finally wakes up about such issues, I might actually celebrate the Trump presidency!!

USA has decided to burn civil rights and human rights, and undermine democracy both globally and at home, let’s make sure that shit doesn’t spread to EU!!!

This story reeks of AI, or at the very least to be made up, and it’s from 2018, 7 years old.
In civilized countries it’s illegal to fire people in that way.
And very conveniently there is no mention of either company or country.
Why is this upvoted?

Actually Putin is already a wanted man for war crimes, and he cannot travel to most countries without being arrested.

Yes, but that goes only for infant animals, infant animals generally look cute to most predators, to give them a chance to survive if they are detected by a predator.
But I think the question is meant to go further than that, because animals can become part of our group as adults too. And will help rescue and protect in a situation of disaster, and will also be rescued and protected. For those animals the love goes deeper than just looks.

True, but you can have similar emotions towards wild animals.

It’s probably mostly a side effect of our ability to feel love for each other.
As a group animal we have an instinct to protect each other that is born from love, that instinct help us survive as a group. The pet is included and can become part of the group maybe even family.
This trait has also helped us build relations with some animals that have historically been beneficial to our survival, like dogs horses and farm animals. For less immediately “useful” pets, the instinct is the same, and although it doesn’t serve the same purpose, it may be helpful psychologically to overcome hardship, and maybe tie the group together more closely.

To use the wrong gender on purpose is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.

EU is neither as corrupt nor as incompetent as you seem to think.
Maybe you are thinking about USA?

I bet it’s not, and that there are clear regulations for it.
That’s the way things usually are with such classifications.
Especially for something that for years had a significant TAX credit.

Thanks, I’ve had problems with that too. But I found it now searching communities, and have subscribed. 😀

I think EU needs to recognize it as a hybrid, so no.

Thanks, but it looks like some sort of mail list, I don’t use that.

we can just bomb them from their own land.

That escalated quickly!!!

This is how Trump loses Europe for USA!!
Not even China acknowledge Crimea as Russian!
All of EU with the exception of Hungary recognize Crimea as clearly belonging to Ukraine, and has declared support for Ukraine to fight for getting ALL of Ukraine back, including Crimea. And most of the international community support Ukraine in this too.

USA is alienating itself internationally, and is losing allies at a faster pace than I would ever have thought possible.

MAGA’s society is one where white people rule and set the laws.

Absolutely, but it was not only white people who voted Trump in, a lot of Latinos and Hispanics also voted for him, and they are absolutely targets already!
