Everyone’s focused on the Russian boogeyman, but the article’s own numbers tell a different story: pro-Russian posts hit 2.8 million views — while MAGA-linked accounts pulled 49 million and Israeli officials/influencers 35 million. By the EU’s and France’s own reporting, American and Israeli actors out-amplified Russia by more than 15 to 1. Yet somehow only Russia gets the headline and the EU report. The French Foreign Ministry itself flagged MAGA and Israeli accounts as spreading “hostile narratives” — linking the riots to radical Islamism and migration — and those narratives reached vastly more people than anything Moscow produced.

Big headline, but check the fine print: most of that €115B assumes the EU will do something it hasn’t actually proposed — extending the rules to private companies. And the study was paid for by the very US tech giants who’d lose business if Europe buys less American cloud. They only counted the costs of switching, never the benefits. Take it with a grain of salt.

Not shocked by this at all. The EU is going to have to learn to take care of itself — other powers only look out for their own interests, and Europe can’t keep counting on anyone else to watch its back
