alt Hacker NewsAre you sure it's just 'this administration'? I don't think the memory of America as a bully will go away soon, regardless of who comes into power.

You're speaking as if the image of the US as a bully is anything new. It's only Europeans know that are getting a taste of US strong-arming.

Oh for sure, this administration is just a symptom that the US has become an idiocracy levered by a plutocracy. A poorly educated, easily manipulated populace.
Trump is just the result of this, and it isn't going to stop when he kicks it. It'll be the next populist nonsense. The world needs to move on from America.

It won't. But going digitally sovereign will cost Europe tens of billions of euros. If there is a friendly race on the other side of the Atlantic, that will not mean the memories go away. But the urgency of the initiative is certainly sapped.
