I think that now, after the shitshow and ambush on Zelensky yesterday, it's clear more than ever - current US is threat to democracy and freedom. Don't feed US oligarchs.

Another reminder of US Big Tech being poisonous, extremely dangerous and keep on fighting to make us all digital and economic slaves.
Not only utter fascists as Peter Thiel, Musk , but already Google and others.

Lot of key decisions for EU in 2026.
I'd add also:
