Disbanding the EU is an official goal of the new US security strategy.

The EU is not Europe. I never see any pro-EU sentiment anywhere besides on HN and Reddit. Talk to Europeans and they hate the EU and see it as an oppressive foreign power. Except for the Germans.

Maybe you should get out of your right-wing bubble.

- EU approval among its citizens hits record high as security fears grow, poll shows (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-approval-among-its-c...)

- Nearly three quarters of EU citizens (74%) say that, taking everything into account, their country has benefited from being a member of the EU. (https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3378)

See, this is a clear example why hypercynicism (everything has always been maximally evil all the time already) is not at all helpful. You lose your ability to differentiate in your cynical zeal to cast everyone as maximally (undifferentiably) evil all the time.

> want to annex a European territory Greenland is not in europe. It may be a danish colony but that doesn't make it "european territory" any more than french guiana is. EU territory? Sure. But europe is a penninsula on the western flank of eurasia. Edit: huh I had no idea how complicated the classification of eu territories is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_territories_of_members...

And Hawaii is not in America. Certainly neither is Guam etc. What kind of argument are you even trying to make?

For decades trusting the US was no problem at all. The relationship was mutually beneficial. Cooperation and trust among nations is possible and Juche (completely self-reliance) is not a worthwhile goal at all. So, sure, cooperation is great and should always be a goal – it also secures peace (people who are economically intertwined are less likely to go to war with each other). The issue is the US burning up that ea…

Have you already forgot the Merkel Phone incident?

Trusting the US should be considered a problem since decades.

You need only cryptographic common sense: it seems you have no idea how much it is easy to modify a mainstream cryptographic software to add basic and robust cryptographic modifications... Are you an AI?

>You need only cryptographic common sense Sounds like the "I know a guy" kind of thing that shouldn't be done if you really care about security. >Are you an AI? Non-sequitur.

Doing such "customizations" (which are actually crypto 101) will break all attacks designed specifically for a crypto algo in mind. Even better if you lie on the crypto algorithm.

Ofc, that must be encrypted on systems which "cannot connect" (and you can go overkill with EM protection with a very good faraday cage).

If you are making such a technical pain for attackers, they will switch to social engineering anyway.

Cloud must be the most uselessly overloaded term ever. I have no way of knowing what you are actually talking about when you use it.

Cloud always means "somebody else's computer".

Even that isn't generic and broad enough. I've noticed so many people mean SaaS when they say cloud. That isn't even a hardware or server or infrastructure meaning. It's referring to a whole cohesive IT product that you subscribe to.

Actually I'd say "cloud" says more about the business model than it says about the actual product.

A necessary step to reduce risk to infrastructure given that the US government has become erratic and has decided it is now anti-Europe.

> Even Zelenskyy acknowledged that the US provides more aid than the EU. And this is despite the fact that Europe has twice the population and doesn't have a vast ocean between it and Russia.

Why does the population matter at all? The US GDP is $30T and the EU GDP is $21T.

> You can eat very healthily in the US, but it requires more intentional choices. It requires money too. If you are poor your choices are naturally limited and in the end you are dependent on government regulations to eat at least somewhat healthy.

> It requires money too. If you are poor your choices are naturally limited Yes, because the US optimizes for convenience, price, and variety, so you see more industrialized food. On average, poor people in Europe eat healthier than poor people in the US, but still significantly worse than wealthier Europeans.

> On average, poor people in Europe eat healthier than poor people in the US, but still significantly worse than wealthier Europeans.

Sure. But in the end the EU feeds it's citizens healthier food than the US does. That's all I'm saying. I'm glad we have those regulations.
