It does not matter.
The US is untrustworthy, and governments are at the mercy of ridiculous hostile actions that even if shortlived may cause a lot of damage and losses.
Countries should speed up untangling themselves from the US. Be it by creating alternatives to Swift, effectively stop relying on US big tech, etc.
The US is a hostile power and its corporations are venues for it to cause harm.
I agree about that but I responded to a comment about US corporations reacting at all
I dont see why they should react
You are commenting about something else
Hyperbolic much? The current regime is untrustworthy. And they are pretty adept at dominating the headlines.
This argument would have so much more weight if he hadn’t been elected twice
Actually, no.
The US has been untrustworthy and willing to weaponize its position for decades. The current US administration is just both less competent and more overt in doing so.
I many ways, I like Trump precisely because of this. He just dropped the façade.
Mind you, I would profoundly despise having anything like the current US admin in my country.
