Other countries should be asking themselves: if Switzerland deemed these risks unacceptable, what are we missing?

Switzerland are definitely doing the right thing here and other countries need to start this effort as well to get off American tech. Even if the US gets off this fascism streak, we've already seen what the potential issues are now, and need to prepare for the possibility it'll happen again.

Should you trust #ring now? No.

After all they thought this was a good idea.

And their statement doesn't acknowledge the real issue. More on that in a second.

How A 1990s Sci-Fi Television Show Predicted The Era of Trump And MAGA

(I always loved Babylon 5. As the show progresses you see it is partially about the rise of Fascism, as well as other things. It’s top tier Sci-Fi)

I don’t know much about Chinese spies, but I do think the US has a huge continuity problem now. It would seem foolish to expect the US government to keep promises beyond a single presidential term, even if it’s supported by law, because Americans may at any point install a lawless administration.
Why would any foreign national spy for the USA anymore? You have no guarantee that Trump will allow the US to keep its promises to you, he doesn't even keep America's promises to its allies.

Of course. This guy has been selling out the United States from day one of Trump’s first administration by kowtowing to fat cat and adversarial foreign countries.

China and Russia must truly be having SUCH a huge laugh about this behind Trump's back. Seriously, the guy he puts in charge of HHS is a total assclown. 🙄

Rutte is obviously catering to Trump and himself becoming a mouthpiece of Putin in the process. He needs to go.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the US is applying “all possible pressure” on Russia to end the war, alongside European sanctions. He noted continued US air defense and other weapons deliveries to Ukraine through the PURL program. #Ukraine

Well, gee this comes as no surprise. But again, Putin has no real intention of halting the way when he's getting help from China and NK to continue his war.
