In a few days, some people will be celebrating the fact that we left the #EuropeanUnion ten years ago.

While the #US has become an authoritarian state that tramples on the rights and freedoms of people around the world, EU member states want to grant US authorities direct and far-reaching access to #biometric data stored in European #police databases. 😠

@ilumium Basically the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 & #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 are allowing each other to see the biometric, private & digital (social media) information of residents in each other’s respective domains.
So far it seems this is limited to travelers, but I am confident that the data exchange between both will expand significantly (against folks interests of course).
I am dumbfounded by this post by Aurora Lalucq regarding #Europe:
“We need to build our independence now.
It starts with our payment systems, a sovereign cloud, and an industrial policy for digital infrastructure and social networks.”

Using an American search engine ( #Google) I located examples of all of these “needs,” which are already active within the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺.
As far as social networks go, why do they keep ignoring the #Fediverse‽ It’s baffling!

I did not think the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 would retreat from this stance‽

Apparently if the EU 🇪🇺 embraces the “only electric” vehicle strategy, they potentially risk #China dominating the EV market.

Europe in danger?
holy fuck. the pro-russian government in Georgia resorted to using highly dangerous and harming chemical weapon that was created and used during WW1 against protesters https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrk7g50e1po
if this isn't going to be a wake-up call for EU to finally sanction Georgian gov't officials to shit, I don't know what will.
those brave Georgian protesters deserve our solidarity & shoudldn't be forgotten 🤍❤️

If #Russia 🇷🇺 is preparing for a war with #NATO by 2029, then the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 needs to initiate a plan to mobilize their military now.
👉🏾 #Putin from Moscow: If #Europe wants to start a war, we are ready now https://www.euronews.com/2025/12/02/if-europe-wants-to-start-a-war-we-are-ready-now-russias-putin-says
I doubt Putin would attempt a conflict with NATO under any circumstance except for one—the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 exits NATO.
Russian forces are struggling handling Ukraine 🇺🇦 right now, & it would be foolish for them to face the full force of NATO militaries.
EU Council Approves New “Chat Control” Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
By disguising coercion as consent, the EU’s plan enlists tech companies as willing agents in its quiet expansion of digital surveillance.

This partially explains why my tech stocks are doing better than expected, but honestly I am surprised by how much the @EUCommission is surrendering in order to appease the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.
Also, why is the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 letting #America 🇺🇸 shape their space policies‽ That is crazy!
