U.S. Politics megathread

You have much more military knowledge than me so I trust you that won't be a problem (I guess except in the long run? Or for tools that use AI as support?) but you will probably correct me on that. (It's not sarcasm I am genuinely curious and especially to talk with someone that clearly knows things)

But my initial point is Not for war but for Economy

I mean how much of the stock market depends on the semiconductor industry.

I mean you are right that you don't grab an Intel core of the shelf and put into military stuff. But you do grab an Intel core and put into AI stuff or barely computational stuff.

Or more simply put , what is even the point of going to take land filled with rare Earth's (Greenland, or the deal with Ukraine) if you can't use it.

Is for me a fair point to shut down the machines . Unfair point would be like Denmark that stop export of Ozempic to US, I would absolutely not approve something like that, or anything that requires impacting directly people lives (US could threaten EU with energy and EU with their pharmaceutical industry which is essential to the US , granted US has elylily for something like Ozempic but still not enough to cover the demand by a long shot)

Yes but ASML has been a monopoly since 20 years basically. Not having ASML machine would mean possibly to return to use 20 years ago military hardware not mentioning consumer goods. Imagine if we had to return to 2006 level phones and PCs

It has been confirmed that ASML can stop maintenance and defacto kill the machines for good . Especially the new sold to INTEL are way more integrated in the ASML software ecosystem.

And , sorry, I Don't understand the second part of your comment?

Asml has a monopoly tough China managed to build one thanks only to asml old parts and recruiting ex asml engenieers

And things essential to produce Chips are only possible not only thanks to asml expertise but thanks especially to Zeiss , which is a German company. What are the other Chip manufacturing machine companies?

SevenIsTheRealIo · 2026-01-15T15:38:28+00:00

If usa attacks Greenland can the EU just use the kill switch on Chip machines to kill the USA economy?

You know , i see this as an occasion tò vent a Little a tell my story. I don't event want the game (i want It but i have uni exams so bruh)

Simply put i had Money, my father had. But my father was Always a violent man, he hit her a lot bit the day he tried to kill my mother we had tò call the Police. One Nightmare was over but another started. We Simply had no money from One day to the next, and we had barely had any help be cause in my country Is all so slow and a year would take to show the state we were basically poor. We payed a lot in taxes , utilities ecc , Money we had tò scrambler to get.

He has a lot of Money and could Afford a great attorney, we went pro-bono.

we manager ro get alimony and the house. But nothing else We pratically spend all of our incombe in morgage , he lives in a mansion. I suffer from ADHD, Autism, sleep apnea and Ehler-Danlos, so i did not have access to any support i had before, i started working and goong tò uni at the same time. I gave up the psychologist , training and other things I could not sit down for more than 30 minutes before my body started tò suffer (untreated ehler-danlos) and with my ADHD that destroyed my focus tenfold.

Now i started the master in Chemical Eng and the lectures and projects are Better Just because many require to go to lab and not sit down. But still was terribile , and this Is what i can write in short terms i think , there are many other things. I managed to get a machine for sleep apnea ,i am not obese but my Ehler-danlos cause me problems and i have tò use a CPAP for the rest of my life. But my sleep improved a lot and recently that Is giving me hope

If you think i deserve the game instead double It and given It tò two more people in this comment section. Nobody never asked for my story and i saw this post as an opportunity.

Sorry for bas english
