Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law.

Problem is that if respect for International Law shrinks to the EU and a few outliers - it isn't very international.
Plus any law is only as good as the ability to enforce it.
That's a real problem in a world where every superpower now defies it and punishes those that try.

@stuart @HennaVirkkunen yes, that really is a problem, but what is the alternative? Throwing our democratic values overboard and do the same?
They would win and we would lose all we’ve reached so far.Not a good alternative.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

@HennaVirkkunen The double space in "between the Kingdom of Denmark" would be great to fix.

@HennaVirkkunen hope to see EU push (and force for public administration) the use of open network like @nextcloud instead of allowing billion flowing to US company like microslop that block EU account on Trump order.

@HennaVirkkunen Yes, but I guess this means war.

@HennaVirkkunen Well Von DER Leyen has her charge, what to do: preserve European unity

Europe has little time to send a concrete, effective response to Trump to dissuade him from annexation. -

@HennaVirkkunen Now would be a great time to reconsider any pending or existing contracts with US tech companies.

@HennaVirkkunen „[…] and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US.“
I would not have put this sentence into the statement.

@HennaVirkkunen Fundamental question:
Since EU upholds legislation that protects US companies, for the favour of not having #tariffs, why are we still holding on to those protections when we have tariffs slapped on our faces anyway?
I refer you to @pluralistic who foresaw this and what we should do, at his lecture in 39c3 in Hamburg, just a month ago.

This is absolutely the right question to ask.

Democratic countries (not counting the US here) consist of around half of the worlds GDP
Yes losing the US in this sense is a big loss, but they aren’t the majority of the world.

According to Richard Murphy, threats to Greenland present an opportunity for strategic reassessment while US dependencies create leverage that Europe needs to acknowledge and use.

I was pointing to the fact that international law is irrelevant if you now expect the USA to respect it.
This is now a case of what we believe in. Is it comfort for us or the right of self-determination for others?
That's a hard and expensive question to answer. I hope we stand by that and elements within GOP recognise it too and reign in their President. I don't want to think about the alternative.

Without the US there is no NATO. Kill switches on US supplied weapons means we have little defence. European countries are totally exposed.
Closedown by US owned clouds would make government systems dysfunctional. Mass unemployment as a result of tariffs empowers the fascist right.
Major or terminal?
