Lawless shithole country.

“The international order based on rights and rules … no longer exists in the way it once did,”

Clearly Trump doesn’t give a shit about that. Zero aid from USA to Ukraine, since Trump took over the presidency!
A democracy invaded by Russia without reason! And Trump says Ukraine should just give in to to Russian demands.
Trump is not an ally of democracy, he is not an ally of Europe, and he has even threatened Canada, despite Canada has consistently supported USA for more than a century!

Merz is stating the obvious. USA is not just not leading anymore, USA is a major part of the problem now.

accused Donald Trump of tearing apart the transatlantic alliance with Europe

This is not merely an accusation, it’s a statement of fact.

So where are all the comments about daily mail not being trustworthy now?
Why isn’t this downvoted to oblivion when a story about false accusation of rape was? With comments all over the place on how daily mail is untrustworthy and had an agenda!
Is this part of that agenda too? Because that seems a bit weird IMO.

But second, keep in mind that for a lot of people, most companies are still responsible members of society; “pillars of the community,” and generally worthy of trust. It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because they’ve been propagandized into believing it.

Oh boy that is so true, I was laughing my ass off during the financial crisis about how people were shocked that banks are businesses trying to maximize profits like any other business.

They genuinely thought that banks were some sort of community institution that existed to help people with their finances, and not businesses that are selling products to make money.

Still even if people are so ignorant that they are unaware of privacy issues, they have chosen to be willfully ignorant, because this issue has been talked about non stop for decades. For nothing to sieve in at some point, you have to be a special kind of willfully ignorant.
Even people that are very low information on technology, know that the Internet is a source of potential surveillance, and having your info on the internet in any form is a potential for being surveilled. Everybody knows that all the big IT companies are trying to gather as much information as they can. And Amazon is right at the top among them.
So to claim they were ignorant of Amazon possibly collecting and sharing their data is a bit far fetched IMO.

Question is why they bought a Ring camera in the first place?
There is no way they can have been unaware that these gadgets can be accessed from outside.
But it was only when the evidence was put right in their face they finally connected the dots?

So my answer is quite simple: Because they are stupid, and bought a sleazy product from a known sleazy company, and when they found out it was in fact as sleazy as could be expected, they figured that maybe they didn’t want to to be voluntarily surveilled anyway.

But he is ENTITLED to his wealth, he is obviously entitled to exploit others and to be extremely privileged.
You know that because he is rich, he is a higher class of being, a class that needs to be protected because it’s only fair that some people have all the privileges.

/s (just in case)

Yes I bet they have massive problems with Vikings roaming the streets and pillaging everything, as has always been their habit.

Yes where indeed.
SS (Schutzstaffel) and Gestapo are the closest that come to mind.

For fucks sake, I took the 3 first that Google showed me, I’m sure there are loads more.
As it is, there is zero reason to think the story is false.
They may be shit papers, but there are still rules about what is allowed for a paper to print in UK.
I puke that you are upvoted for just saying bwuah bwuah your sources are shit, while you admit to not even knowing one of them, and you show NOTHING yourself.
🤮 🤮 🤮
You are a worthless debater contributing nothing.
Just whining over the quality of 4 independent sources!

The 2008 is a pumped up 208, and is absolutely a small car, bumped up a bit from a sub compact.
The CUV is not for compact, it signifies crossover which means it has driving capability like a sedan.
The CUV is a pumped up sedan, the 2008 is a pumped up sub micro.

The ID.4 I own is a medium sized car. And the explorer is actually a bit smaller.

Peugot 2008 / Ford Explorer comparison (Explorer is of courser the BEV version as BEV is 70% of the market here)
https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-2008-2023-suv-vs-ford-explorer-ev-2024-suv/

The comparison between 2008 and ID.4 is not nearly as extreme here as the picture you show?
https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-2008-2023-suv-vs-volkswagen-id4-2020-suv/

IDK if one is an American explorer and the other European?
Looks like the picture you show is from the same site?

Edit:
Made the same link twice by accident. So I corrected links and added a bit of explanation.

To all the morons that disregard this because it’s the daily mail, the story is reported multiple other places:

3 other papers confirm the story:

The explorer is a mid size car. I USA it would go as a CUV.

Edit:
The European Explorer EV is a mid size car.

They don’t make reasonably sized or affordable cars anymore,

In Europe they do, and it’s still a reasonably popular brand despite Trump.

I hope this is more than just the pendulum swinging like it always does.

Absolutely, the Russian economy is doing very poorly disregarding exports may hold better than we thought.

Of Course, the White house needs to have their own fascist paramilitary police force Schutzstaffel (SS) / Gestapo ready before the midterms.

Paywall.
But White house spreading darkness across USA and the world.

You didn’t write that it was against the Ruble previously. The US dollar has definitely deflated when seen against other international currencies. So what you probably mean is that the Ruble has deflated more than the USD. But that’s irrelevant, since the export numbers are given in USD.
