Tot slot kan Europa niet alleen maar klagen. Trump zal Europa vragen meer te doen, meer te betalen voor eigen en Oekraïense veiligheid en mogelijk zelfs troepen te sturen. Als Europa daar niet toe bereid is, riskeert het irrelevant te worden.

Interesting Russian experiments with digital bordering capacities, but boring to see digital sovereignty only discussed alongside/compared to repressive techniques of governance in China, as has occured in the linked article. Discuss GDPR too? US/TikTok? Brazil? www.pcmag.com/news/russia-...

Opinie | Trump zal ons niet vriendelijk vragen China buiten de deur te houden
Geopolitiek: Als het gaat om economische veiligheid, moet de EU volgens Matt Ferchen en Frans-Paul van der Putten niet alleen naar Rusland en China kijken, maar ook naar de VS.

Tot slot kijk ik wel met licht ongemak dat een 80-jarige VS generaal geboren tijdens WO2 nu gaat (mee)besluiten over de Europese veiligheid. Ik hoop dat Europa ook actief aan die onderhandelingen deelneemt want “if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” Werk aan de winkel voor Europa. /end
