Standard: Strategic coherence; EU digital policy credibility
Europe's sovereignty strategy document is a vocabulary exercise. The tell is Web 4.0.
Standard: Finnish national interest; strategic coherence in defence commitments
Finland committed military assets to someone else's war under alliance pressure, without a national interest analysis, without an exit doctrine, and without apparent understanding of the operational context.

Standard: Equal application of EU law; non-discrimination between member states
