United States as a Rogue state

He used your link.

A disturbing number of Americans and like-minded individuals elsewhere seem to think that offering money for Greenland is the reasonable option compared to invasion, ignoring the fact that’s it an outrageous relic of the colonial age. Ask them what part of America they’d be willing to sell to pay their massive debts and see the conversation change.

He didn't.

You've yet to present any kind of cogent argument.

Most of the american economic gains is down to 7 companies. At least 3 of which are the American version of Leprechaun economics. Tesla, the most leveraged company in the world, never turned a profit. Circular deals between AI companies that on paper amount to trillions and inflate the share price, in real terms, just a mixture of a ponzi scheme and pass the parcel.

A huge part of the american economy is based on smoke and mirrors. Hugely indepted companies that will not only crash the stockmarket when they fall, they'll take some American banks with them.

Europe needs to make some changes so European companies stay here rather than moving there but that's happening. I'd take being European over being American any day of the week.

I think the US is a rougue state by now under Trump. The disturbing thing is that in this shooting and killing in Minneapolis ICE agents are getting clean away with murder under the so called guise of fighting terrorism. More and more it seems like Trump is chasing his own tail here. It's him who is terrorizing the US, not the other way around.

The whole country seems to be run by terrorists now killing at will and getting away with it. And if that isn't enough they are making another claim at Greenland.

Denmark a loyal NATO country, Denmark a country which came to assistance as the twin towers were attacked is now to hand over Greenland to the US?

Europe isn't doing enough for economics and military and defence.

For instance there is only one big European IT business which is SAP, the US has many more of companies of this size.

Also for military and defence too little is done in Europe in general, even though there are a very good number of military and defence companies around, in France, the UK, Germany, etc… Same as the Irish insistance on the so called neutrality is a problem, an air force without any fighter jets, a navy without any surface to air capabilities.

The whole of Europe is still looking backwards too much living in history. Ireland is a similar scenario when the Irish are blaming the English constantly for their misery and support Palestinians.

I’ve hopefully suspected this since Trumps visit to NATO last year. Rutte’s behaviour was bizarre.

Using the dollar less for international transactions is the smart option.

Yeah, the AI bubble will burst eventually.

China looks like it will eventually crack it, and that will burst it, Deepseek for example has nowhere near the creative side (photo/video creation, image quality) of the American AI's, but apparently outperforms many of them in terms of data manipulation and collation. In other words, miles off the Americans AI's at the flash and presentation, but as good or often better at the nuts and bolts. But as much as the presentation is impressive (in so far as distorting reality), it's the nuts and bolts where it really matters, and the Chinese are at least as good in that regard.

It was also made very cheaply compared to the American AI's, it cost about a billion for the hardware and about 10-20m to train DeepSeek. By comparison, by all accounts it cost the Silicon Valley companies well over a trillion to get their AI's in play. That's a huge difference monetarily.

Another thing that might burst it a bit is that other areas are investing in AI development. The EU, for example, is investing currently in a bespoke AI platform for business's to register patents/trademarks/copyright across Europe. The AI planned for it is nowhere near what Chat GPT or the likes are capable of, but more than capable of making it far easier for businesses and government departments to co-operate and work. Smaller bespoke AI's don't need trillions to work, can be tailored for an individual company or department independent of Silicon Valley.

And that's where the AI bubble will burst in the end. It'll be done somewhere (likely China) for far cheaper, not as good but just about as good, but cheaper, and people will choose the cheaper option, or done on a small scale where it'll be tailored for specific use.

Also, of the big AI companies, only one will emerge victorious. As you say there will be niche requirements but only one big player will survive. My money is on Google. OpenAI have no revenues, massive debt and spending like its going out of fashion. If they fall, they'll take Nvidia, Oracle and at least one bank with them. Google also make their own chips in the main. Thats another exposure for Nvidia. They could crash as quickly as they rose.

All Invasions have been fully supported by the UN and our friendly neighbors. UK gone rogue too I suppose.

I'm only referring to the US. It's always been a rogue terrorist state. And besides, the UN didn't support the Iraqi terrorist attack by the US

The UK, like us are too worried about their economy to go against the States. Its not even a relationship, closer to a hooker and their pimp.

They won't be allowed operate in the US, just like Tiktok and Huawei. They'll certainly cut the American market share though.
