What would be the purpose of US support in Europe if not defending against Russia?

The US presence in Europe exists to facilitate US power projection, if we are not stopping Russian advancement then there is no reason for host countries to allow US bases in their territory.

The population of the US has no appetite for invading Canada, many of us have close friends and family there, we consider Canada a friend and ally and Trumps hissy fit doesn't change that.

If the US invades Canada there will be a lot of Americans aiding resistance.

My network guy yesterday: "I took down one of your gateways after fat-fingering a change that assigned it's IP to another device "

Me: "Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Nobody complained. I'll just resolve the alarms."

I managed to get everything moved over except some google data, man they are bastards. I am happy to be a little more extracted from their ecosystem though.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
