Are those chips actually made in US? Or just designed?
What’s up with Switzerland and Austria?
Politically unreliable
Ah, the cracker index
I guess the US feels threatened by Greenland’s prospering chip industry
Denmark is blue but Greenland isn’t. The comedy basically writes itself
Either that map is wrong, or the US doesn’t understand how the EU works.
Both them and China try very hard not to.
Regarding your Peter Griffin meme: Us Swiss and our Austrian neighbors are pretty white on average, but even beyond that, the Czech, the Polish, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians are very white on average.
Also Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in the blue tier… Don’t know what OP is on about.
The ROK is essentially a US colony, their military is subservient to the US’ military “in wartime.” Guess what? They have always been in “wartime.”
Taiwan is similar, the US maintains a large military presence there and in Japan to try to keep China in check as a geopolitical adversary.
Biggest shock on here is Israel isn’t blue. I guess this as much of a fuck you for ruining my presidency Biden could muster on his way out.
He’s giving them $8bn in arms to kill Palestinians, so I don’t think that’s the case there. Obama did the same on his way out.
They will just steal any tech they want anyway, like the nuke.
Occupied Palestine is tier 2? Doesnt he love their genocide?
“The worldwide interest in accelerated computing for everyday applications is a tremendous opportunity for
the US to cultivate, promoting the economy and adding US jobsimperialism.”The more you buy, the more you save!
Excluding some EU countries is a great move toward accelerating the Union’s fracturing.
I really doubt any sort of US action could lead to the EU fracturing.
If anything, having to deal with the US has brought us closer together. On one side there’s Trump making a fool of himself and of the US. On the other side there’s Musk, thinking he can take on European unions and actually win, because he thinks he’s still in the US, and in the middle there’s what i like to call the sheep pen of tech companies. We shear their wool for fines on privacy violations every couple of months to fund our regulatory organs.
I’m not sure I get that part. Movement of goods within the EU is tax free, so why wouldn’t another country just import it, and move it to, say, Portugal?
I guess letting a handful of white-collar racist IP lawyers draft your foreign policy isn’t such a good idea after all.
Meh. CTU means stuff comes into e.g. Rotterdam and then easily wherever it needs to go from there, and complaining about “evading sanctions” seems to me like an exercise in futility.
Oh, it’s the map they always use
Switzerland…?
Geopolitics. Whoever isn’t on board with USA (or is suspected not to be) is getting sanctions. Austria and Swiss are neutral (on paper), that’s not really going to fly with “you’re with us or you’re against us” attitude of the US.
My guess is they are not a member of the EU. I don’t understand Portugal tho.
Oh c’mon! It’s not just Portugal, there’s half of the EU missing…
In a completely useless way because of the single market.
