That is where I am, not exactly on a crossroad, but it might look that way. Some go into the ‘consideration’ of the road less travelled, some go into the setting that they want to look elsewhere, but this is between the two. You see, as we are looking towards changing the data sovereignty in the Commonwealth and the EU, we see that there is $117B up for grabs and most go into the setting that it is too difficult and that there are too many complications. I do not completely agree with that, but there are hurdles to pass. In the first is the eating for server complexes in the EU (Belgium more specifically), UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and then the satellite server locations in Europe, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin, Geneva, Rome and the is just for starters and these server locations cannot have anything from the United States. Norway can attest to the issues they have been facing and they might be a better first source of these solutions. As we are sailing away from the United States hiding behind their CLOUD Act, we have to realise that too little has been done and if you wonder why they are speeding up their data centres and in the mean time claiming that rogue (fake) AI’s are copying the data they can get a hold of, we need to insulate ourselves from that. Optionally we need to make sure that China cannot do the same thing. And when these settings are showing progress, we will see that the Gulf States will attempt to copy these settings to keep their own data safe. But when you look into that, we see a stream of consultants, trainers, support staff and a whole range of people that are part of that ‘golden’ $117,000,000,000 and it will cost Google, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM as such they are widely opposed to this setting. I do not blame them, they are (for the most) all willing to give us what we needed, but this United States Administration seems to be in some kind of grab anything they can, because the timeline is now ending for them. It is no longer a fictive worst case scenario, there is a clear end of line to be seen there. And whilst the media is now turning their story about the resilience of the United States, there are too many markers that time is running out. In the first setting the United States is no longer a superpower, with the exception of ‘boasting’, ‘bluffing’ and ‘bullying’ the larger consensus is “Whether the United States is a declining power is a complex and heavily debated topic among historians, economists, and political analysts, with a widespread public consensus leaning toward a sense of relative decline.” In this is wonder what ‘relative decline’ is? Is that in relation to EVERY other nation in the world? In other news we see that the NY Times gives us “Critics and analysts point to shifting alliances, internal political volatility, and unilateral decisions as factors diminishing international confidence in U.S. leadership and institutional stability.” In my mind I would say that the international confidence has pretty much declined to zero. So whilst opponents of these thoughts are relying on “Proponents of American resilience note that the U.S. maintains the world’s preeminent military force” so how does that go? The Trump side has (inactively) bombed Iran into the storage whilst their missiles are pretty much depleted and whilst we see that this was the fault of President Biden whilst he was in office, all whilst we see from different sources that then President Biden never send any missiles to Ukraine. So whilst we are given “Over 850 Tomahawks were fired in the first month alone, consuming nearly half of the global U.S. inventory” and I am telling you now that this is a response I merely copied, I have no idea or insights on how many tomahawks the United States has
So when you start doing the numbers up, including tourism and the amount of people who turned their back on the United States as a place of entertainment, we see a rather nasty future and there is no way this can be turned around. The people will not care about the midterms. The empty boasts that President Trump is going to prison, he might have stated that former President Biden has to go to prison, but sources tell me that former President Biden has no intent to visit President Trump in prison. But all jokes aside. The good times dealing with Google, Amazon and Microsoft is ending. The cloud act makes it impossible and we better wake up fast. My works were copied over 8000 times and I only wrote 4000 articles, so there is that to consider and when others get to consider what they optionally lost, their pressure to switch to a non-US and possibly a non-Chinese solution is pretty clear. And as some claim that the United States big four are about to lose a total of $117 billion, as such there is an opportunity for European and Commonwealth firms to invest and optionally expand on what they have and as such create a new business model, one that excludes the United States as a player on these grounds. Am I too dark? No this was always in the books, it started to get serious when Norway made it a serious agenda point in 2024 and whilst others thought it would blow over, the actions of this United States administration made them do a turnabout instantly. The question becomes now, what were they able to keep safe? I merely wonder why happens when these sources dry up with the 4,423 tracked facilities across states (as per June 2026), because if they are all fighting for the same data, the setting becomes that these centres with lacking verification and validation become less and less accurate on a daily basis (it is a mere personal presumption) but the settings of lacking verification and validation is a known setting. As such there are several reasons to applaud data sovereignty.
Have a great day
