    That sounds like a pretty good deal to me…

    Still cheaper than relying on US technology. Furthermore, the tech giants sided with Krasnov and the EU is telling them to get fucked. Kudos to the EU.

    This seems to echo Trump’s hissy fit over NATO countries not paying their share of military expenses when what he really meant is that they aren’t funnelling more money to the US military complex and daring to spend within their own borders.

    Sounds like short term pain to ensure long term sovereignty

      1995 Corolla was kick ass automobile. We had the wagon version in Europe too. Shame Toyota’s G6 and GR6 were rather weak when you look at the current GR Yaris.

    That’s what it’ll cost the tech giants.

    In cases where I’ve worked on projects to transition to open source, they’ve all ended up saving money: capex goes close to zero, and opex starts out higher due to learning curve, but then drops below the old baseline in a few months.

    I thought America didn’t need anybody else? According to the clown in charge.

    Totally worth it and we’ll recoup a large chunk since the money will be going to companies that pay their taxes. Not doing this isn’t even an option anymore.

    And staying with the USA might cost 100 billion per year in overpriced fossil fuels contacts and cleaning up USA’s military adventures.

    Oh no… They’ll have to find some other countries to funnel their tax avoidance through. Might I recommend Russia now that Trump is pals with Vlad?
