Low-flying aircraft spotted: Powerful explosions in Venezuela's capital

Caracas - Several powerful explosions rocked Venezuela's capital, Caracas, early Saturday morning (local time). Residents reported low-flying aircraft and at least seven detonations. There is reportedly no power in the southern part of Caracas, near a large military base.

According to an AFP journalist, the first explosions occurred around 2:00 a.m. (7:00 a.m. CET). The noise was still ongoing at 2:15 a.m. Another explosion was felt in Caracas at 2:38 a.m.

Images of large fires with plumes of smoke were posted on social media. However, it was not possible to determine the exact location of the images. The explosions apparently occurred in the south and east of the Venezuelan capital.

A Digital World Shaped by Others

Let's be blunt. Recent data shows that between 80% and 94% of European tech companies rely on US infrastructure. In the UK, it's 94%, and in France, 80%. Even the Spanish banking and energy sectors are 100% dependent. Also, 69% of Europe's cloud market is held by US firms, with only 13% domestic share.This isn't nuance, it's dependence.

This dependency means European business, governance, and infrastructure are subject to US rules, legalities, and political ripples (CLOUD Act, FISC, export controls). Even pro-sovereignty strategies like Gaia‑X or EuroStack remain embryonic.If that dynamic doesn't change, our fate is tied forever to US strategic interests....

And of course we can live without Palantir and surveillance

...Europe has a significant and growing dependency on US high-tech, especially in cloud computing (US firms hold ~70% market share), software, AI, and digital infrastructure, creating risks for digital sovereignty, data access (CLOUD Act), and economic competition, prompting EU efforts towards strategic autonomy through initiatives like Gaia-X and increased investment in domestic innovation.

This reliance extends to critical sectors like banking, energy, and even defense, with European tech investment lagging behind US counterparts.

Key Areas of Dependence

Cloud & Software: US giants (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) dominate the EU cloud market, with European providers holding minimal share.

Digital Infrastructure: High reliance on US tech for core digital backbone, from telecom components to submarine cables.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Europe lags in AI development, relying heavily on US advancements, notes.

Semiconductors: Dependence on foreign supply chains, including the US and China, for crucial chips.

Cybersecurity & Surveillance: Use of US software for law enforcement and intelligence (e.g., Palantir).

Defense: Reliance on US software and systems for advanced weaponry (e.g., F-35, Aegis system).

Europe is a dead man walking.
