All the more reason for every country to stop using Google, Apple, Amazon and Visa and other US-based credit cards. How much more warning do you need? Wake up! The US is never going to be your friend again.Never again?
Hold us to the fire & help us abolish billionaires. They're coming for you too. -

Let's not forget that the US have been on the ICC eyes many times.
The main reason the US is not in it is because they not want to be bound by international law.
The current president have already violated it so many times that his hate for the ICC is not surprising at all. By ICC standards, he should be in jail.

True, but he can't control the ICC as easily as the SC.

@jan there are banks in the EU issuing non-US flag payment cards, and systems that, if the EU banks wanted, could work without cards from VISA/Mastercard (because they don't need the physical cards anymore and are mostly interoperable already): Wero, MB Way, Bancomat, Bizum, etc.
People need to go to their banks and refuse, en masse, to have US-linked cards. I've already contacted by bank and told them the second some other bank makes those cards available, my money (and all the business) goes there, never to return again.
@wordstitcher @randahl@jt_rebelo we need this in #Canada as well

@jt_rebelo @jan @wordstitcher @randahl
The EU banks are already working on the needed systems. I've met people from the UK's City of London, who are working on the contracts for creating this. The City operates internationally, so won't be tied to any single power block.
And the EU countries are realising that even when Trump is voted out, the USA will still want the un-balanced power-relationships that only benefit the USA.
@BillySmith @jt_rebelo @jan @wordstitcher @randahl
Voted out or dies. The good thing about old dictators is they might die soon without external help.
Of course we can also hope a stroke and total paralysis as his own body is the only prison he's likely to ever face.

They have been unable to use their Visa credit cards, they cannot use Google, Apple, Amazon, or any other American service.
This is one man trying to intimidate the court system recognized by 125 nations, because his friend Netanjahu is not allowed to carry out a genocide.
Madness!
@randahl when this is all over Trump needs to go before the ICC to answer for his many war crimes included repeated threats of genocide and murdering civilians

@martin_t right now, J. D. Vacuous takes his place if he croaks, and he is Peter Thiel's lap dog. The Orange Romulus Augustus' death doesn't stop the oligarchy from keeping the power. They have to be voted out, ousted to never even think about taking office anywhere. If not, things will get even worse.

Once again I ask: don't ICC member states have provisions in their domestic law banning retaliating against, or attempting to intimidate, ICC officials? And if they do have such provisions, why aren't they enforcing those provisions on the local subsidiaries of Visa, Mastercard, etc.?

@BillySmith unfortunately they are taking their time to make things interoperable with a physical card (with apps it already works, with online payments too, even if fragmented).
As for not trusting the US? After Trump got elected (the very next day) me and some friends started leaving US tech, products and services. I ended the transition by March 2025, our companies and personal contracts, pooled, meant a loss of at least 3M€/year for US companies. Personally, I have paid around 180€ for US products or services since November 6th 2024 (because of contracts ending in March 2025).
And we're not going back even if Trump and his ilk go away. Not until the USA pays for all they've done and they show us, in no uncertain terms, that they have reformed themselves (major political, legal and judicial changes). Just like with russia, it isn't going to be "business as usual" right after the madmen go away, at least not for me and many others.

The real Madness is the EU allowing that to happen and not moving fast to rid us of american dis services.

The US is never going to be your friend again.It's a shame that Discover, the closest thing to an alternative network to Visa, Master Card and AmEx, is also headquartered in the US. Change that, and all of a sudden we have a proper alternative to the US monopoly on international credit card payments. -
