That's a choice. But it's not everyone's choice. And with <waves hands wildly around>, the non-USA choice is rapidly becoming more popular - at least among the people I know and talk to outside the US.


EU has always and always will be moving away from US tech


I’d argue the opposite, that the US is moving away from the rest of the ‘free’ world.

‘Free’ meaning not run by dictators.


Dictators typically don't win popular votes legitimately. Dictators typically don't have the courts constantly overruling them.

Europeans tend to have very little idea how the US government functions. Trump is able to do what he does simply because the people voted for a congress that supports him.


> Dictators typically don't win popular votes legitimately.

It also isn’t how you win in the US. The winner of the popular vote was Trump this last round (unlike his first term), but with a far-from-resounding 1.5%.

I'm sure this is trivia on the other side of the world but we learn this in 2nd grade


FWIW, my perspective is from Australia, not EU.

So anyone not aligning with the U.S. is basically in bed with China/Russia?

Huh, where have we heard this before?

Also, the irony here is you not seeing the ongoing Russia-US alignment.


Sorry, can you define non-US for me? Does a Chinese data centre count as a US option, or are people not moving towards "non-US" options?

Let's play the game where you slowly whittle your definition of "non-US" to a set of villages in Iceland and Norway


I'm not sure what your problem is here.

Non-US means anything that is not US. Pickup a map and start enumerating countries, China and Russia are just two of many.

You understand that the set is greater than those two countries, thus you understand the problem already.
