Of course Vlad/Xi can All is fair in the love and marketing! ;) It needs a bit of exaggeration to make it interesting and generate engagement. =) Another theory I have is that Trump could create a tax on all cloud services sold _to_ europe in order to rake back money europe is stealing with their GDPR fines.

Sadly not only pointy-haired bosses, but the young and modern IT-generation who have been taught since childhood that "ze cloud" solves all problems magically. =( I try to rectify that when I teach.
