I wanted to see how Venezuela’s news is covering Maduro’s kidnapping and found this on the front page of Venezuela’s largest circulating news paper, ÚltimasNoticias.

Anyway, I see the Venezuelan military is named after Simón Bolívar as well…

Beyond the Illusion of Control: Achieving True Digital Sovereignty in an Geopolitical Cyber Conflict + Video
Introduction: The concept of digital sovereignty has moved from a theoretical policy discussion to an urgent operational imperative. Recent geopolitical events, where state actions challenge established international norms, have starkly illustrated that reliance on foreign-controlled digital infrastructure, cloud services, and AI platforms introduces profound strategic risks. For IT and cybersecurity leaders, this translates to a critical need to architect resilient, sovereign, and legally compliant technology environments that can withstand not just technical attacks, but also political and legal coercion.

"It is not enough to merely invoke international law. (…) Europe must finally become sovereign – it needs political sovereignty, military sovereignty, and digital sovereignty. Anyone who still hasn’t grasped this under the current U.S. administration is beyond help."
"Es reicht nicht, das Völkerrecht nur zu beschwören. (…) Europa muss endlich souverän werden – es braucht politische Souveränität, militärische Souveränität, digitale Souveränität. Wer das immer noch nicht begriffen hat, mit dieser US-Regierung, dem ist nicht mehr zu helfen."

But do you think there is currently someone in a position of power in Europe? I think ppl are wondering what other deals with Russia were made in the last months and when he will take Greenland. So I guess the priority is to get digital sovereignty and nukes fast.

Today marks the first Digital Independence Day, and to spread the word, we’re sharing the steps we’ve taken toward digital sovereignty so far! 🚀

So I guess the U.S Cyber Command has been itching to get on the real action for a while now. So, my EU friends, how are we doing with the whole "digital sovereignty" in our OT environments? Time to change priorities? For all we know, Denmark and Greenland are […]

@parismarx.com: The US attack on Venezuela, the sanctioning of ICC, UN, and European officials shows that digital sovereignty is paramount. Countries need to accelerate efforts to carve themselves out of dependence on the United States.

The United States is a rogue state
Donald Trump’s “attack on sovereignty” in Venezuela has terrible consequences for the world

Trump’s “attack on sovereignty” shows how efforts to reduce dependence on the US must be accelerated — to get out of its military, economic, and technological umbrella before it’s too late, even if that means short-term pain.

Carney's ignored digital sovereignty, his first big bill was a gift to Trump that connected our border security and law enforcement more to the US, and he hasn't lifted a finger to protect Canadian infrastructure and resources from being recently sold to US firms.

Who hasn't been paying attention?

Digital sovereignty wouldn't be Canada "showing its hand," it's basic security that needs to be done ASAP.

And how convenient that by your logic, the Liberals never have to actually do anything because it's all happening secretly behind the scenes. You realize that's kinda conspiracy theory logic?
January 3, 2026 at 7:54 PM
You're happy with the way the Liberals are not focusing on digital sovereignty, not making it harder for US companies to buy and control our infrastructure and resources, not disentangling Canada from the US everywhere possible?

Wow. How oddly generous of you.
January 3, 2026 at 7:12 PM
If there's a potential silver lining it's countries waking up to the need for international systems that are standard and interoperable but also agnostic and independent.

The current lack of digital sovereignty will be the hardest problem to fix.
