Longread (but worth of spending the time) describing the background of US-Ukrainian #military #intelligence cooperation amid the Russo-Ukrainian war. After reading, one could easily end with conclusion, that if #Ukraine had obeyed #US advices, it would win the #war.

The Secret History of America’s Involvement in the Ukraine War

This is the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies.

The New York Times

Also I want to make something explicit:

DEI in the US military & intelligence communities absolutely makes America safer & stronger. Hegseth & Trump are fools to think otherwise.

This story is one example of 10s of thousands that could be cited from history.

In parallel to a boycott of mainstream US products by EU citizens to push back on Trump tariffs, a New big deal should be negotiated now between EU, japan, Vietnam and China related to GPUs and other electronics needed to rebuilt EU computer industry for scientific theoritical and applied computer/AI research, quantum cryptanalysis/cryptography, space satellites belts, and supporting serious EU scientific's no commercial bullshit AI with both civil and military defense applications.

Opt out of US cloud should start now with EU Datacenters belonging to companies whose shareholders and applications hosted must remain EU based (only submitted to EU laws and EU companies only operating controls (continuity). This should be part of DORA and other cybersecurity regulations (NIS2, GDPR). GDPR could be relaxed, but only for complete EU sovereign stack (AI algorithmes, AI framework, application/middleware/datacenters, locations, shareholders,...).

Diversity in supply chains and enhanced autonomy of actions in business, science and war is required in those complex times.

Not all eggs in the same basket.

Nobody must be in position to disrupt remotely by design the EU business, society and military intelligence, decisions making and execution processes.

Ooda loop confidentiality, integrity and availability must become at light speed 100% sovereign in current and immediate future context. Tools that are close to Trump/musk such as palantir should not be used by EU critical insfrastructures/businesses as the information they collect on EU business, military and citizens could be used in nefarious ways and these tools (like other AI tools) learn a lot of their users/gov concerns/plans by observing the questions asked to them.

Huawei top executive in Europe charged in Belgian corruption probe – POLITICO

The senior executive is listed as a vice president for the Europe region at Huawei and previously held a position as chief representative to the European Union leading the firm’s public affairs office in Brussels.

Trump wants Europe to pay more for gas. The EU wants to spend less. – POLITICO

Seven countries — France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Netherlands — led the charge to rein in gas purchase goals, advocating lowering a 90-percent-of-capacity storage target to 80 percent in certain circumstances. They say the higher figure is locking the EU into buying huge volumes of gas, much of it from the U.S., at a time when it is most expensive. 'In these turbulent times and ongoing fight for competitiveness, it would be, of course, a better solution than just to stick to the current targets,' Lithuanian Energy Minister Žygimantas Vaičiūnas said

Putin wants Western Balkans as his next ‘playground,’ UK warns – POLITICO

“At this time, with war in Europe and seeing the long hand of Russian interference also in the region, you would be a fool if you took your eye off the Western Balkans, where there are still legacy issues that are yet to be overcome,” British Foreign Secretary David Lammy told POLITICO during a visit to the region last week. “Putin’s interests here are to keep the region destabilized. It’s in his interests to keep the countries that make up the Western Balkans on edge, to have a destabilized population and to wage a cyber and hybrid war.” All six
