I accept green pieces of paper for my not so hard work. It’s real as long as we all pretend its real.

To avoid this, the administration would need to introduce exemptions, just like it did with China-made graphics cards and motherboards years ago.

If that is the approach, it would ensure tech monopoly for 5 years for all of the oligarchy that kisses his diaper.

More major issues with this is that while high end Chip production may be high value manufacturing, motherboards, electronics, and assembly is not, and there would likely be an export of chips to somewhere else to import finished products.

US/Trump explicit hatred for world is likely to get retributive tariffs, that makes chip plants unproductive investments, though Trump is hoping to have high foreign ownership/investment in those plants.

In 2022, the export share of Taiwan integrated circuits to US was just 2.46%, although in early 2024, total (all goods) Taiwan exports had US take lead over China for the first time.

That both US and China are decoupling from Taiwan is going to reduce any geopolitical subservience impulse that provokes a war with China. Taiwan may get closer to China instead of begging for more US “friendship”.

Biden outlawed oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Trump used executive order to rename it so the Gulf of Mexico “doesn’t exist”.

I’d be very surprised if all laws/treaties cease to exist if you just rename the “counterparty”/location. Declare Mexico to be named South Texas, and laws no longer apply there?

Trump is evil. Overthinking his motivations for evil to conform to your previous worldview harms you. America is “greater” with greater threat it can impose on Europe.

Not sure what your other country reference is, but all lies that US did not capture Ukraine in coup to provoke this war that it wants is disinformation. US wanted this war, and Russia never did. That Trump doesn’t want to continue the war because it is losing is neither a good reason to want to continue it yourself, to imagine that US is now pro Russia, or that you must beg US to stay your “friend”.

NATO - an alliance composed specifically to stop Russian annexation of neighbor states

There is no such NATO mission. Only to protect alliance members. That it has unofficially become an antagonist evil with desires to diminish Russia, does not make that its mission. Coups over former CIS states was never mission. Just demonism.

Whereas free Russian movement along Greenland’s coast would be protected if it was under the control of a Putin-friendly US

First, you need to stop with Putin friendly US fantasies. But doing so would make Putin friend EU much faster. The reason to for a Putin friendly US is entirely to diminish/colonize Europe even more than Biden did.

A Putin friendly US still doesn’t need Greenland. EU oppression exists without Putin friendliness. EU is not to be permitted to block Russian trade with US, with US-Russia alliance. Greenland for US has absolutely zero benefits to Russia in a normal world. Only to better threaten EU with missiles and aircraft.

The US simply wants to move away from wars it cannot win, towards easy wars. Including vast gains on an already subservient EU. Rather than framing the world in Putin Derangement Syndrome, EU needs to focus on the direct enemy actions of US towards it. Those who advocate for increased subjugation as desperate measures to appease an enemy should be shut down. Russia never wanted to be EU’s enemy, and EU needs to wake up as to who its real enemies are.

Trump is also trying to get Canada to become a US territory.

Directly hateful to Canada. Picking a war US can win without fighting. Europe is next. You need to stop right there instead of framing your thinking around the idiocy of escalating war on Russia or China or Iran as “any part whatsoever towards a solution that frees you from US aggression”.

In Soviet-2025 US, AI tells you that you are hallucinating.

Those international waters are very narrow and have been a thorn in the side of Russia forever.

The narrowest passage between Iceland and other NATO member is 800km wide with paths that have no international rights for jurisdiction/interdiction.

Crimea has better ports, but Russia still had Black Sea border without it, and had a lease for port prior to the nearly unanimous referendum to abandon a Ukraine made to hate the vast majority of Crimeans. Crimea was a gift to Ukraine in 1957, people still alive, and there was little to no ethnic Ukrainian migration to the area.

At any rate, Turkey can permit access to Africa/ME. Other NATO members can only stop trade with themselves, with Spain preventing access to Atlantic.

They would only need access to North Atlantic if shipping to North America. This would be because they are welcome to ship there, and they would join in seeing it as unwelcome any blockade efforts. There is an international waters path to get there. Greenland and Panama have zero impact on Russia.

If EU wants to blockade trade between Russia and eastern Americas, it needs to blockade vast international waters between Iceland and UK, in addition to Baltic sea. Blocking such trade will be viewed as act of war by Russia and Americas, and Russia navy alone is enough to break through/sink EU blockade, or nuke the degenerates.

There is extreme likelihood of EU understanding Russia makes a better friend than US in long term, and failure of this understanding is certain electoral failure. That center-moderate support for nazis in Ukraine is not the obvious moral high ground over home nazis, that happen to be nato skeptics, everyone here seems to think it is. The Ukrainian nazi diminishment of Russia is only a EU favour to US.

Russia has a Pacific coast that means it never needs to use Panama Canal.

Need to stop with any fantasies that US needs Greenland in order to gift Russia anything whatsoever. Russia has access to both oceans and does not need to go anywhere near Greenland to even ship to US or Canada, much less Europe. It does not care about any resources in Greenland because the closest consumer is eastern Canada and US.

Yes Trump wants to leave NATO. If Greenland stays part of Denmark/NATO then that can threaten US.

There are international waters between Iceland and UK. When US is part of NATO, with as a matter of fact, dictatorial control over NATO, ownership of Greenland doesn’t matter. It is only a severance of US/NATO alliance that makes Greenland matter.

Absolutely absurdity that has to stop. Greenland is far away from Russia. Fine, some possible ICBM missile trajectories go over Greenland, but NATO is not going to stop US from putting missile shield or offensive nukes in Greenland, as long as it stays under NATO oversight. The Putin Derangement Syndrome that extends to explaining all Trump actions as gifts to Russia needs to stop being said out loud. Pure CIA disinformation to somehow brainwash Europe into accepting this.

There is one and only one reason Trump/US wants Greenland. With US out of NATO, it is a point closer to Europe to threaten Europe. Every other explanation is a disgusting lie, and of zero value to US.

Trump wants to invade Greenland and Panama. He wants to extort Canada into having no other choice than to submit to statehood.

Capitalism, instead of Adam Smith definition, becomes supremacy of capital. Corporatism is actually more prominent than “shareholder rights/supremacy”. At any rate, Adam Smith said free markets where fair markets that resulted in perfect competition. Free competition sucks for oligarchs, because corrupt markets are more profitable.

LBJ

Please!!! Come and take your money!

This had their “hits”/pop vibe. Invaders must die I think a better album, their real sound. But this is 10 years before, and really the same revolutionary sound/music. Was a big shift from their earlier “Everybody in the place” technohouse.

As MAGA/ADL would say it is “pro hamas woke climate alarmists supporting DEI” that make Jewish Space Lazers cause all of this.
