June 18: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $500K in Boeing stock. Same day Boeing gets $880M US Navy contract.
June 24: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $250K in Palantir stock. Same day Palantir gets $45.8M government contract.
In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and he would have faced at least 2 years in jail.
Le monde vient de comprendre qu'un simple décret américain peut couper "l'électricité" de son industrie.
Un uppercut au leadership tech des États-Unis qui s'appelle "scandale Starlink"
Washington a restreint l'usage de Starlink et Starshield en Ukraine. Pourquoi ? Peut-être pour faire baisser le diesel de 2 cents avant les midterms, peut-être sur une promesse de Poutine. On ne saura jamais !
Avec des "peut-être" et des "si", on ne va jamais loin.
Cette technologie critique, l'Allemagne et la Pologne l'utilisent aussi.
Deux alliés de l'OTAN.
Et ce n'est qu'un début.
81 camions autonomes Caterpillar 797F tournent à la mine Kearl d'Imperial Oil, en Alberta.
Pilotés à distance par des systèmes centralisés américains. Un « mode fonctionnalité limitée » ?
Pas de la science-fiction pour un ingénieur cloud.
Audi fait tourner ses robots industriels sur VMware, une techno de l'américain Broadcom.
Limiter le temps processeur, la bande passante ? Les mécanismes existent déjà.
Suffit d'un président de mauvaise humeur vis-à-vis de Berlin.
Rappelez-vous : en 2025, l'administration Trump a contesté l'annulation d'élections en Roumanie, et un vice-président US a rencontré le chef de l'AfD juste avant le vote allemand.
Imaginez maintenant un scrutin européen tournant sur Google Cloud.
Google a d'ailleurs déjà accepté de payer 22 millions de dollars... pour une salle de bal à la Maison-Blanche. Voilà le prix de l'indépendance.
La suite se joue déjà :
- Airbus quitte Amazon AWS pour le français Scaleway : 70 applications critiques, jusqu'à 900 à terme
- aux Pays-Bas, KPN s'allie à l'allemand Schwarz Digits sur la plateforme STACKIT, données hébergées chez les Néerlandais et validée pour les administrations publiques 🇪🇺
Ces sociétés ont bâti des industries entières sur la confiance en l'Amérique.
La note arrivera, et elle sera bien plus salée que 2 cents sur le diesel.
Récupérer la confiance prendra des décennies et aucun scrutin US n'y changera rien.
Mais bon, au moins la salle de bal sera prête 🙄🤨

🚨AWKWARD MOMENT FOR MIKE JOHNSON!
Johnson complains about how quiet Congress has been for days.
Margaret Brennan immediately reminds him that he sent lawmakers back to their districts.
A brutal reality check on live television.
🟦 Feijóo homenajea a la exalcaldesa de Madrid Ana Botella, cuyo gobierno municipal vendió 1.860 viviendas protegidas a un 'fondo buitre'.
⭕️ Carlos Bardem: "Desgraciadamente no hay nadie que haga medidas comunistas en este país. Esos pisos habría que expropiarlos".

Netanyahu: "1,200 Israelis dying on October 7th is the equivalent of 40,000 Americans dying in one day."
By the same logic, Israel has killed over 3.7% Palestinian population - which is the equivalent of 12.5 million Americans
By his own logic, he's committed a Holocaust-scale massacre multiple times over.
Europe is developing its own Starlink alternative.
Canada is developing its own Starlink alternative.
What he did in Ukraine made one thing crystal clear: you cannot trust this man or his products.
🆘 Europe tries to reduce its dependence on @elonmusk SpaceX and Washington threatens retaliation.
The EU is considering reserving part of the satellite spectrum used to connect phones directly to satellites for European operators.
👏Governments have finally realised that relying on foreign companies for critical communications infrastructure is a security risk.
Starlink has demonstrated its enormous value in Ukraine but also the danger of becoming dependent on a privately controlled American network.
So Europe is trying to build greater technological sovereignty.
🔥 And what does Washington say?
US ambassador Andrew Puzder warns European companies that retaliation could be “devastating” if Brussels disadvantages American firms.
That is extraordinary language between supposed allies.
And it rather proves Europe’s point.
If access to critical technology can become leverage in a political dispute, then reducing dependency is not protectionism for its own sake. It is resilience.
The US ambassador says Europe should work with America against China rather than restrict American companies.
But Europe’s problem is increasingly obvious:
what happens when America itself becomes the unpredictable partner?
This is why Europe is right to build its own satellite network, strengthening cloud sovereignty and trying to develop its own AI and industrial capacity.
And it is also why Britain needs to think very carefully about where it sits. Because the world is rapidly dividing into large strategic blocs with control over technology, energy, defence and communications.
Being dependent is not the same thing as being allied.
🤔 Zelenskyj právě řekl, že podle něj Starlink omezila americká vláda. Můžete s jistotou říct, že nikdo z Trumpovy administrativy žádná omezení nenařídil?
Min. financí Scott Bessent: Prezident Trump i ministr Rubio kategoricky prohlásili, že to nikdo z Trumpovy administrativy neudělal. Prezident Zelenskyj by si měl dávat na taková lehkomyslná prohlášení velký pozor.
...
Nebo co, omezíte jim Starshield a přestanete sdílet zpravodajské informace, ty hajzle? 🤬
José Carlos, te hago una propuesta: una gira tuya, de Feijoo y Eduardo Inda, por todos los hogares, casas y clubs de jubilados y pensionistas, para que les expliquéis vuestras propuestas. Seguro que os reciben con los brazos abiertos. Seguro.
Trump: “If we don’t win, they will say I was terrible.”
Dude….you’re beyond terrible….you’re the worst fucking President in history and one of the worst goddamn humans who ever existed 🤢
Los afectados por la suspensión del voto de los nacionalizados por la ‘ley de nietos’ apuran los plazos para presentar alegaciones ante el Supremo https://t.co/f15btEQZ4c
Vice President JD Vance is confronted by the husband of a US soldier killed in Iran in March.
Husband: ‘It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?’
Vance: ‘If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.’
Sir, you are the Vice President of the United States and have been openly supportive of a war NO ONE SUPPORTS.
Stop lying, you coward. There is absolutely NO WAY you didn’t know.
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.
Colonos terroristas israelíes encapuchados atacaron vehículos diplomáticos que transportaban representantes de Francia, Bélgica y Polonia durante su visita al pueblo de al-Taybeh en la temporada de cosecha de aceitunas.
Los colonos rompieron la ventana de un vehículo consular belga y exigieron ver documentos de identidad. Testimonios documentan el asalto terrorista contra Bernard Baudoux, alcalde de Aulnoye-Aymeries en el norte de Francia, quien fue derribado al suelo, según informes.
Este descarado ataque contra representantes diplomáticos y vehículos es otro ejemplo más del terrorismo en escalada perpetrado por colonos israelíes contra palestinos y representantes internacionales, a la vista completa de las autoridades de ocupación israelíes. Vía @MustafaBarghou1 👇👇👇
