Europe seems to be slowly waking up indeed . There is a growing number of voices even in politics that doubt the reliability of American arms deals and warn that Washington could deactivate key pillars of the European arsenal at the touch of a button if necessary. Not to mention the dependence on US satellites and IT communications and internet servers.

I would add: Windows. I have long seen Windows as a disguised weapon of American foreign policy. I was already suspicious about this in the days of Windows XP, and I am convicned since Windows Vista.

I bought a new (non-gaming) notebook a few days ago. Linux, of course.

Stay on your guard against America. Its no longer a friend and partner. And Trump just loves to play foul.

And another thought: what will the Eurpeans decide when Trump blackmails Ukraine into surrender to Russia and demands the Europeans to stop supporting it with arms and money, too? After all, Trump is now shamelessly representing the interests of his idol Vladimir and wants to serve Ukraine to his buddy on a silver platter.

Then we will see what Europe's recent tough words are actually worth, especially Starmer's. I'm not betting my life on them. We get out of the starting blocks now, it seems - but very, very late. Too late? Time will tell.
