It is now clear that trusting the Americans is the greatest mistake my country the Netherlands has made since the end of the cold war. We lost soldiers too, in America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This was all announced in the Project 2025 manifesto. The far right sees international law as a conspiracy against its extremist agenda, so in an insane way this is a coherent move.

Today, it is clearer than ever that green energy is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for us, the Europeans. The more we develop this sector, the less dependent we will be on various global actors who seek to exploit this vulnerability.

Everybody knows that Palantir is the corporate spinoff of the CIA, Switzerland refused to let them have access to the Swiss Government. So why the hell is everyone else?

That’s a good plan. But can we also agree that Vivaldi itself ditches X (and the promotion of it in your newsletters), as one of Big Tech's most important tools for dismantling European sovereignty and democracy?

All those people, companies and governments who have no problem whatsoever contributing to X’s income. And not only that, but also have no problem whatsoever contributing to X's ongoing efforts to undermine European democracy, sovereignty and prosperity. A.k.a.: useful idiots.

How many wake-up calls do European companies, citizens and governments need to realise that constantly buying from US, makes us too dependent on them to simply say "fuck you" when they demand another exception to international fair treatment? ⚠️👉 #BuyEuropean! 🇪🇺 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So what have we learnt yesterday US is not reliable US, Russia & China are now operating outside international norms NATO has been killed - you cannot ally with, or expect any military, political or economic aid from the US US military will carry out Trump orders Unpredictability is...🧵

It is irresponsible to build infrastructure on the technology of a hostile empire. Europe must stop relying on American tech companies and switch to open source or EU alternatives that cannot be switched off at the whim of a malevolent dictator.

The EU is a “digital colony of the US”. This Italian is trying to change that, with some success. > Deepl translation of this Dutch article www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/... by Marloes de Koning in NRC Handelsblad (30 Dec. 2025 > 👇 lemmy.world/post/41044194

While I agree with all of those goals, I'm missing the biggest one: technological sovereignty. Make it compulsory using European or Open Source software in publicly funded projects or agencies. There is too much of a reliance on non-European software-as-a-service providers.

To Europeans: What you do today to support Ukraine defines what you would have done in WWII. Those who do nothing now wouldn’t have been heroes. Those who back Russia would have been traitors back then too. Those helping Ukraine would have been fighting evil back then
