    Funny how American authorities did not do much about "antifa" and A/I and only acted once it was clear they were going against Zionist interests...

    This is shameful and the Dutch should be also ashamed to act as lap dogs.

      We still have White Nationalists in khakis and masks rolling up in rented trucks to harass people based on race and creed.

      One group threatens property damage, the other people damage.

      One of them is considered a terrorist org.

      What makes you think the Dutch government isn’t also occupied by Zionists?

        If you claim that, you have to back it up.

        Otherwise, assuming there are Zionists everywhere is borderline antisemitic.

    I am a bit surprised to hear that the U.S. government can still order around Dutch police like a butler. Maybe the Dutch regime is struggling to actually effectively decouple themselves from the U.S.? Would love to hear an expert weigh in.

      ASML weighs in on this, they get a key component from the US (a lens iirc). There is no real possibility of complete decoupling in the modern world. You would have to go back to a much less modern world for true decoupling.

        Wow, what a bad take.

        The EUV lenses are made by Zeiss in Germany AFAIK. But to even suggest that ASML is dictating US-Dutch diplomacy, two NATO members with similar values and goals, is hilariously off.

          I heard the lens thing from another HN comment

          I'm not suggesting dictation, just that there are deep ties in the global supply chain that make decoupling impossible.

          but wow, way to read way too much into this and extrapolate into hyperbole?

    If you remove the paywall and translate it's the A/I group being shut down https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/20...

    The Dutch police imaged the drive, gave it to the Americans and gave the server back to XS4ALL which itself appears to have shutdown too I think

      Confiscates / seized. Pretty sure a french speaking poster mistranslated. It's "confisquer" in french.
