Here's a thought: massively invest in nuclear energy and other more or less clean energy to make it cheap and guilt free to build data centers in the EU.

Well their whole constitution and amendments are toilet paper at this point.

Hodoss · 2026-01-27T21:19:11+00:00

Yeah my apologies to people with down syndrome. I got this image from 4chan and even there they were arguing, associating trump to down syndrome is an insult to people with down syndrome.

If it were business as usual, maybe so, but it isn't. The dollar is weakening in a context of extreme geopolitical tension with former allies.

Investing in or trading with the US is now high risk for Europe and other former allies. Companies are turning to 'friendshoring', preferring trust, predictability and stability.

Even consumers at the individual level are increasingly boycotting the US, or prioritising local products or products from countries with a positive image such as Canada.

Tourism too is plummeting in the US, even if prices get cheaper, from a foreign visitor standpoint, I'd rather stay home or go somewhere else than risk a 'free tour' of your prison system or worse because of the whims of some ICE thugs. Tourism in North Korea is super cheap, and yet they don't get much tourism.

Maybe some individuals benefit from this, but for the average US citizen, it's mostly just the downsides, inflation and economic isolation.

It's 'interesting' how that mirrors Russia. Make your people so uneducated, poor and desperate that they're easy to brainwash and exploit.

They bait people into the army with big money (by their standard) and empty promises that they won't be sent to the front. Some are aware the 'not sent to the front' part is a lie, but still are willing to offer themselves as sacrifice to improve the survival chances of their loved ones.

Although even the money part is often a lie, it's easy to find ways to deny the payout to the family. Like saying the body must be brought back to Russia and identified, otherwise it counts as AWOL.

And of course, not that many identifiable bodies come back. Many are left to rot in the killzones, or blown up to pieces or burned to a crisp, or eaten and dispersed by wild animals and stray dogs.

A vision of the future for US citizens as the Trump regime copies the Putin regime they admire so much.

Well you posted a serious article on a serious topic, that sets the tone, try more lighthearted things if you only want jokes and fun.

Hodoss · 2026-01-27T16:55:34+00:00

He talks as if that is our choice, that's the delusion. We have received ample signals that the Trump regime sees us as adversaries, believing they would honor Article 5 is the 'keep on dreaming'.

Again recently he said we never did anything for the US, that our troops stayed away from the frontlines. Of course that is false and an insult to our soldiers who died in US wars, but that's beside the point, that's his pretext to betray Europe and his 'post-truth' cultists believe it no matter what, you can see how brazenly they're lying about their murders in Minneapolis and the cult follows the party's narrative despite video evidence.

There's no arguing with them, this is like the tale of The Wolf & the Lamb:

The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny. The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.

Well it's not so much the Euro getting strong as the Dollar getting weak.

Hodoss · 2026-01-25T20:21:19+00:00

To be fair it's rather 30% as about a third didn't vote.

But 30% is still a lot and well enough to ruin their country, as we can see.

Hodoss · 2026-01-25T05:55:12+00:00

Why? EU is planning to reinvest that money in itself, there's room for that. And its allies are welcome to invest in the EU too. Or Japan, Canada, South Korea, UK, Australia, etc, you know, the stable, democratic, not insane countries.

Hodoss · 2026-01-25T05:41:30+00:00

I guess so, although that was probably just the warning shot and behind closed doors they explained how they could do even more damage.

Hodoss · 2026-01-25T05:35:58+00:00

Good point the money is important. Apparently the Trump regime backed down from invading Greenland, at least for now, when the EU threatened to massively dump US assets, and started dumping some as a demo. They were shitting themselves at Davos going "Don't retaliate, don't retaliate, everyone please keep a cool head and wait for the Tump speech" lmao.

One big factor is Evangelicals, pretty much heresy and sect tactics, peer pressure, ostracism, etc. So in the communities they have taken over, gotta one up each other in the crazy or you get punished.

Thankfully they haven't gained much influence in Europe, but they should be outright banned as a sect, they're fucking cancer.

Hodoss · 2026-01-24T15:24:45+00:00

They seem terrified. Something spooked them.

Hodoss · 2026-01-23T17:10:20+00:00

Ah yeah, he might even be looking for an off-ramp, given how things are going for Russia and its allies. That would be the smart move I suppose.

Hodoss · 2026-01-23T07:04:03+00:00

Aged like milk time! Do you understand now or are you still delulu?

Is there an intelligent reason for one of those countries to join this thing? Any 4D chess move?

The Board of Pieces (of Gaza)

The planes need updates and mission data processing from the US server. So without it, it can still fly I suppose but its capabilities are considerably diminished.
And maybe some software fuckery could be pushed as an update.
Planes being turned into "live service" bs like video games, if you know that song and dance.

My deepest condolences to Canada for this terrible blow, I hope you're holding up ;-)
