That said, I wonder if that means that Spain will lose access to all the US-based Big Tech services and tools? Because it would seem to me as if that was the case.
And if that's the case… tech sovereignty becomes even more clear of a choice for EU.
@rysiek please? the sooner the world boycotts us, the better

I wrote to him earlier and asked him if AI wrote his speech because he definitely doesn't seem to have understood it.

@csgraves no doubt. But now all the subtlety is gone, so it's easier to point it out to people.

@rysiek we received some USA nukes in 1966. We don't want more.

@rysiek This also means healthy food and culture for Spain.

@rysiek besides, we don't have any problem when USA used the bases for NATO operations, but last time we back them for an illegal war it doesn't paid the price.

@teknomagic yup. I just hope part of this will be moving faster on tech sovereignty and unplugging from US Big Tech

@rysiek nos va a ir muy "bien" romper relaciones comerciales con EEUU, sobre todo para todas las empresas implicadas, no pasa nada, vendra el "progre" a sacarnos las castañas del fuego, ¿verdad?

@rysiek I'm not a lawyer, much less international trade law... but I have the strong suspicion that mighty Dear Leader has missed the fact that he probably can't single out Spain when there's established free trade agreements with the European Union
I think that's the short version of this news in Spanish about it
El Gobierno responde a Trump que tendrá que "respetar" la legalidad internacional y los acuerdos con la UE si rompe con España
"Nuestro país cuenta con los recursos necesarios para contener posibles impactos, ayudar a los sectores que pudieran verse afectados, y diversificar cadenas de suministro", dicen en Moncloa

@rysiek There is absolutely no reason to not have software sovereignty. Open source software has alternatives for almost all proprietary software that is not tied to some kind of weird hardware with weird closed source drivers.

@rysiek If every country stopped trading with the U.S. for a month, maybe even a week, would it send a message?
@kimlockhartga The world needs to tame the arrogant bully that is the USA.
Its deep egocentricity - where gas guzzling cars driven vast distances, and meat consumption every meal is seen as their natural rights - is costing the world heavily now.
