Police in Amsterdam seized a server from a data center in the city’s eastern district on Tuesday, following a request from U.S. authorities. The police confirmed the seizure after it was reported by the NRC.The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.
Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.
Nah that’s gone. It will take generation(s) to become a normal country we trust like a normal country. They really had it all; wealth, soft power, hard power, respect, trust, people saw up to them, wanted to be like them, and they just set it on fire, repeatedly, while dumping manure everywhere.
If history is any indicator, it will take one and a half generations of relative stability and everyone that matters will have forgotten. Probably there will be lingering, mostly misplaced bigotry (especially if there is nothing in the way of reparations) but there’s too much potential in the resources (markets, raw materials, laborers, tourism, etc) here to stay sidelined for long. Look at Germany, the UK, China, Japan, Italy, or Belgium. Colonialism, screwing allies, even outright genocide is papered over as soon as the populace blinks to keep things moving.
Or there’s the Bad Ending where far-right movements control more of the world and we’re a successful part of the new Axis powers.
Why so many European countries are run by cowards with permanent knee pads on for the US is beyond me.
Fixed that for you.
We thought the USA were the good guys, it takes some time to adjust and elect new representatives.
It will take generations for the US to regain the trust and respect it once had.

Takes about 100x longer for our corrupt politicians to realise the most basic truths, too :(
What do you mean? We have the least corrupt governments in the world here in Europe. Sure, shit happens from time to time, but just look at Orbàn!
I hate this “both sides are bad”, “everything is bad”, it’s just playing to the Kremlin playbook.

you missed the plot. “least corrupt” (debatable) does not equal “not corrupt”.

No they aren’t, bonehead.
European countries are run by greedy fucks who love money and are generally fascist assholes.
As a European, I sadly agree.
