Fantastic news. The more of this, the sooner Europe wakes up and starts accelerating sovereignty. Please keep it coming!

A 27-country bloc will struggle to accelerate on anything when one veto is all it takes to hit the brakes. Only 12 nations needed to agree when when the EU voted to institute a common currency in 1992.
A French university doesn't need to consult Hungary when reducing their dependency on US tech. Finland doesn't need to consult Czechia when deciding to invest more into domestic defense industry. And so on. The huge majority of dependencies can be eliminated without needing such consensus. It's a gradual process anyway. China didn't wane themselves off the US overnight. They still haven't entirely. See NVIDIA/ASML. Step by step, bit by bit.
Sovereignty? Sounds like doing Israel's bidding is the opposite of sovereignty.
Last I checked I never voted for Netanyahu.
Yet America and Europe's foreign policies are largely dictated by rich people like the Adelsons who are attached to a foreign land. By accepting that policy and the mere existence of AIPAC, we have effectively voted for it
Indeed, I think those sanctions did better than 10 years of talks for the digital euro
Europe supports Israel... Do not fool yourself. You serve the same master we Americans serve.
