This is the flipside of data residency requirements that countries are now starting to require. If the EU wants to keep data in the EU, then great, but when the war comes and energy and infrastructure are hit, people would have wished for backups in North America, Asia, and the middle east.

  War did not randomly came. America intentionally caused it.
  And has lawless goverment and unaccountable tech industry making it bad place for data.

    > You don't see the EU causing a war with Russia?
    Putin is launching and provoking wars, not the EU.
    > you will probably still blame America
    No, we would blame Putin, because he's the blameworthy party.
    As for Iran, Trump (and Trump voters by extension) is the blameworthy party. I don't even think any other R would have been dumb enough to go at Iran like this.
