The lack of a clear legal justification and the precedent set by the operation have left others wondering how vulnerable they might be to U.S. intervention.
Russia and China swiftly condemned the strikes and called for the release of Maduro, who has been brought to the U.S. to face criminal charges. Iran and Cuba denounced what they called a violation of international law, their objections carrying an edge of unease that they, too, could find themselves in Washington’s sights.
Even major European allies, more cautious and measured in tone, carefully signaled concern about the operation’s legality while largely aligning with the U.S. on policy.
Taken together, these responses suggest the revival of old fears of American interventionism, prompting allies and adversaries alike to ponder where Washington might act next.
You know, some things are worth going through temporary pain.
Fully agree and I can tell you that our dependence to technologies under usa control WILL DECREASE. I already asked my Executive Vice President LAST SUMMER how and when we could move on from American products.
But right now?
We use Google workspace (email, drive, etc) and phone (Android) to communicate and works across our worldwide locations, we use AWS and Microsoft as IT providers, we use Win11 and 10 000+ win servers or databases or softwares provided by American companies, we have plants in USA too, a lot of equipments used in our products are provided by American companies and our products are sold 50/50 in € & $. And the list can continue for hours ( .com is under USA control too and all our customers services use it).
So if suddenly, “Pumpkin(g) One” decide to call for a ban or a 200% increase of taxes or anything else as stupid because he don’t like our comment about his operation… WE ARE FUCKED! My company dies, my country economy is heavily fucked, I don’t have a job and lost 25+ years of my work because 30% of people across the ocean is not fucking able to detect fascists (or is ok with it).
People are PISSED right now, but they can tell as this fucker love playing a mafia boss and be a bully.
