I just read Washington’s newly released 2026 Cyber Strategy — and it’s deeply unsettling. The document reframes cyberspace as a U.S.-controlled military domain, normalizing offensive operations and even celebrating attacks on foreign critical infrastructure. It also pledges to export American “norms” to the global internet while promoting deregulation — exactly when regulation is most needed for collective security. If foreign technology can be treated as an adversarial risk at any time, how can European institutions or companies continue to trust such systems as the backbone of their infrastructures? This should be a wake-up call: Europe must step up its technological autonomy, strengthen its industrial base, and ensure strategic independence in digital infrastructure.
