"...The Spanish government has quietly decided to block the use of Palantir in new critical state systems and strategic public companies, despite the firm already having contracts with parts of the Spanish administration
and defence establishment. The move is an internal political and procurement directive discouraging ministries and state-owned companies from relying on the American company's technology for sensitive infrastructure.

The rationale is a combination of:

Strategic autonomy concerns: Spain does not want core state capabilities to depend on a US company that is deeply intertwined with US intelligence and defence agencies.

Geopolitical considerations: Palantir has become politically controversial because of its close links to US national security institutions and its involvement with the Israeli government and military.

Mexico looking strong

Mexico 2, Ecuador 0
 
No opponent scored on Mexico through first 4 games.
Into Round of 16
 Got dirty toward end with Ecuador knowing they'd lost played dirty and got couple yellow cards late one became red for saying something to opponent hand covering mouth during confrontation. Twice time in tournament player ejected for that so ended with 10 players but just 3-4 minutes left anyway.

In middle game France considered strongest offensive team in it beat Sweden 3-0

I have not had that issue before

The barely hanging in there plant - Catnip which was robust 2 weeks ago, is now almost gone. And the Catgrass which was 3", 2 weeks ago, is now 8". I think cats like catnip! Poor Comet will have to deal. No more catnip plants

What do you do when your cat is not eating the cat grass? I probably should not have planted the catnip in the same pot!
