The EU flag was raised above Hungary’s parliament for the first time since 2014. This marks a sharp visual break from Viktor Orbán’s long-standing EU-skeptical stance and signals a new tone in Budapest. #Hungary

The implication of this news are frightening. The Trump administration has shown zero hesitation about using US tech capacity as a geopolitical instrument. The playbook is consistent: identify where Europe has structural dependence or exposure, and apply friction there until concessions flow.

Regular reminder that you, an individual, should almost always book direct with your airline. Also: avoid booking through a third party online travel agent (OTA) like lastm*nute/book*ing dot com. This was the case before the current Gulf/oil/jetfuel crisis, and it's even more the case now.
