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.
“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!
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.
Occupied Palestine is tier 2? Doesnt he love their genocide?
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.
They will just steal any tech they want anyway, like the nuke.
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.
Fuck Portugal I guess?
Yea what the hell, why us?

It makes sense for all of Eastern Europe to be the same level.
Didn’t realize Portugal was Eastern European

Who knows what that’s revenge for.
Austria too!
I mean, austria has no issues skirting sanctions and the incoming right wing government around the FPÖ and Kickl is very Putin friendly.
I can see why Biden might be careful. But that may change with the new government.
No, it’s worse than that. Putin attended a wedding (in 2018, 5 months post Crimea annexation) of the then foreign minister [link].
They dissolved their government in 2019 after the then leader of the FPÖ told a journalist pretending to be a relative of an oligarch, that she could ensure positive coverage in exchange for government contracts. This might not be a direct link to a foreign enemy, but the corruption runs deep. [Link]
A senior quasi-secret service officer was discovered by the British to have been a spy for at least 7 years before he was apprehended. He was (cheaply) selling state secrets and providing information to the Russians… [link.]
You’ve got to love them 🇦🇹
Excluding some EU countries is a great move toward accelerating the Union’s fracturing.
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.
The world seriously needs an alternative to US technology.
Also what does Biden have against Iceland and Greenland?
Biden didn’t want to provoke the Turks and so Greece is also a tier 2 country
whole east Europe is tier 2. What an influence Turkey has!
