Washington has already imposed targeted sanctions on several prosecutors and judges at the court, but naming the court itself in the sanctions list would be a major escalation."
Quote: "The United States is considering imposing sanctions as soon as this week against the entire International Criminal Court, putting the court's day-to-day operations in jeopardy in retaliation for investigations of suspected Israeli war crimes.

Hi @halken.bsky.social , project lead Robert here. I guess you mean me with 'guy is fake and/or paid by the US'. That's quite a strong statement. Shall we have a call to exchange views?
Robert, EU OS project lead, has met yesterday Dirk Schrรถdter, Minister for Digitalization and Head of the State Chancellery Schleswig-Holstein (SH), in Brussels. SH will organise a public tender for a #Linux OS. To be seen to which extend #EU_OS can be reflected in the tender specification! ๐ค

#EU_OS is such a community of citizens who chooses action to achieve more #sovereignty when the public sector is still adapting to the geopolitical order. You can be part of this community.
into action, make your voices heard. The European Union is above all a mechanism to achieve the goals shared by its citizens. It is our best chance for a future of peace, security, and independence. It is a democracyโand it is us, you, its citizens, the Europeans, who decide its priorities."
