Google search, all social media, every LLM, etc
So nonfunctional tech, tech that hurts everyone who uses it, and nonfunctional tech that hurts everyone who uses it? That's what they'll be missing out on?

And social media. Trump is the social media president.
This. Mark Zuckerberg is uniquely responsible for this. World went to shit when he figured out how profitable it was to platform outrage.

No I didn't. Nuclear missles are only relevant when the existence of the country itself is at stake. But when the war is at the edges of the country, then losing territory is preferable over nuclear war. Think about it - in case shit hits the fan, would you rather cede some territory like Alaska or Guam, or would you start nuclear war which results in complete annihilation of all major US cities?
Russians will just sit back and let China and EU take their territory with no response? Seems like you forgot about the nukes.

Which particular tech are you thinking of?
Google search, all social media, every LLM, etc
all social media: Most have fediverse open source solutions available (mastodon/lemmy/pixelfed/loops.video & peertube)
Peertube's on the more expensive side because of the bandwidth which is why you don't see it deployed but using something like upcloud/ovh which provide unlimited egress/bandwidth (both European) is a good combo for peertube imo
every LLM: there are chinese open weights model which EU can host privately as well imo. Not every country should spend essentially trillions of dollars for which china's giving for free plus mistral models exist too if you think that any message contains china partiality (like c'mon if you are gonna ask tiannmen square, then go ask mistral instead of chinese models)

Even being the slimeballs they are, they all each knew how bad Trump was for their party and for our country. Yet one by one they kissed the ring and now we're expected to lick the boot.
Yet the American people seemed to back Trump. Whenever someone stood up against him like say Rubio the polls would go like 80% Trump 20% Rubio. That's a bit I find puzzling as a non American. Why not choose someone basically decent like Rubio, rather than the Donald?
Rubio isn't decent.

Whitelands or Anglosphere will always be cooperating and coordinating because blood is thicker than water. So all these developments of Canada moving closer to China are superficial. When push comes to shove, the real affinities or allegiances will be revealed, ie the anglosphere will stick together.
So you think that the Canadians or the Danish love you for your skin color(?) but you don't do the same, and just threaten them and take their lands? This doesn't make any sense.
What's next? Will he stamp on the ground like a five year old? I mean, there's this treaty between the US and Denmark that they can build military bases etc. "The U.S. has such a free hand in Greenland that it can pretty much do what it wants," said Mikkel Runge Olesen, a researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies in Copenhagen. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/world/europe/trump-greenl... So what…

Search will be a problem for a while, but that's solvable. You really think the absence of social media would be a negative? Don't think much of Europe is dependent on LLMs, yet.
Search is already being worked on with Ecosia and Qwant having created their own European search solution https://blog.ecosia.org/launching-our-european-search-index/
Because most European countries are US vassals. They have US bases on their soil. What kind of a sovereign nation will allow another country's military on their ground?? That means at the end of the day they will bitch and moan but eventually they will do what US tells them to do. Otherwise they'll get the same medicine that Libya, Iraq, etc etc has received for disobedience.
Most countries are ok with foreign troops if they are friendly and there to oppose a common enemy, basically Russia in the case of Europe. Europe doesn't fit the normal definition for vassal state. It's unlikely the US will do a Libya on Europe. I think we'll probably just wait for Krasnov to pass.
