Should Europe wean itself off US tech? Just three US firms provide 70% of Europe's cloud-computing, leading to fears of overreliance.

The Americans would do it in a heartbeat if it suited them. Why does anyone think otherwise?

Yes, Putin is the most powerful general America ever had.

Betrayal!

16.08.2025 16:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And America tolerates this!... Good bloody grief...

They do treat people like that. That is who they are. They are proving it over and over. Are enough Americans angry enough yet?

16.08.2025 14:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's amazing, isn't it, how they do their work so enthusiastically... Americans aren't angry enough yet.

I feel for how you and your colleagues are betrayed. While there is a long way to go, I hope Americans are getting angry enough to do something about it.

She will be appearing as a presenter on Fox before you can say "Guilty".

Putin didn't drag him there. He ran there with open arms!

Unhappily, if a country doesn't care enough about it's reputation to stop humiliating itself on the world stage, I doubt it has the ability to do anything about the Epstein files.

I imagine quite a few folk probably did...

Why, if a lover did that, one might conclude he or she was saying 'fuck me'...

Perhaps American military supremacy is not all it might be?

At least, if I was a foe, I may draw that conclusion... Only if I was a foe of course, because I know America is the bestest country in the world.

Ah yes, one more humiliation to heap upon humiliation...

It is a grotesque humiliation and Americans inflicted it on themselves!

Knee pads! Knee pads! I'm selling knee pads!

Yes, he has and the world will condemn the Americans that facilitated this humiliation for generations.

16.08.2025 13:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No, but at least I have the contract to sell Americans knee pads, so I'm happy.

No, it might not be what Americans do, but politically are they showing us who they are?

No, he did not embarrass the US, he humiliated the US... again!

'A long way for nothing?' BBC correspondents on Trump-Putin meeting After the leaders left without taking questions, Anthony Zurcher and Steve Rosenberg stayed on to unpack what we learned.

Oh, America!... You are so diminished, so lacking in respect and self-respect...to what end? For what?

Clearly 'hate' in the new America means 'love'.

Yippee... They've taken Trump?

Yes, it would be reassuring if the Democratic leadership could be seen from overseas...

Yes, one pitied 'the men' who found themselves being led by such ruperts... But secure empires might afford such arrogance and stupidity... The American one cannot!

Yes, they told me that too, but didn't mention the leak just up the road...

It troubles me that there are so few leakers and whistleblowers, apparently...

Shhhh.... don't tell the China, the Iranians or [insert foe of choice], the Americans are afraid of sandwiches...
