From the article:

> Kyndryl said in a statement it was "extremely disappointed" about the decision. "The politicization of this process has overshadowed the clear and important benefits this transaction would have brought to Solvinity's customers and Dutch citizens."

Are these guys so tone-death to the point they even try to gaslight the world? They are trying to take over a nation's ID system. Who in their right mind sees this as anything other than a national security issue?

As per the Dutch language saying: "Trust comes on foot, but leaves on horseback."

Trust breakdowns are costly, except to the vultures "winning" the negative-sum game. Might want to read about the fall of the Warsaw pact.
