  • Canada wasn’t a US vassal in the narrow feudal European sense of the word

    Or any other sense of the word.

    doesn’t inspire much confidence after the Iran debacle,

    I don't see how this has anything to do with Iran, except Trump is butthurt that none of his allies want to help him with his stupid illegal war.He has to beg just ti fill up planes and ships at European bases.This proves that neither Canada or any European countries are vassals to USA, but are independent free countries.

  • I mean, from what you’re describing it sounds to me like Canada was a vassal state.

    No they weren't, you obviously don't know what it means.Canada being an ally doesn't make them a vassal state.

  • It's absolutely insane how USA is trying to treat Canada as if they were some vassal state.Canada has been the strongest supporter of USA in just about every relevant situation since before WW2, that's 85+ years now.Where Canada has supported USA even in wars at great cost. Canada has been a trustworthy ally, and a respectful trade partner for 85 years now. It is not Canada that has asked USA for help, it has always been Canada helping USA!And this is how USA want to treat their closest friend and ally?

    USA is a despicable country, there is zero return of favors, there is zero respect for either law or tradition or for the independence of other countries.

    Fuck USA!

  • Diplomatically, Canada is at a greater disadvantage than other countries.

    WTF propaganda do you get your info from?Canada is one of the diplomatically strongest most independent countries in the world, because they are well respected basically everywhere. And they have made multiple big trade agreements, that make them stronger yet.

    This is probably the most uninformed post I've ever seen here on Lemmy! And I'm a daily user for more than 3 years.It really puzzles me how anyone can be this misinformed, without being a troll?

  • It's an AI tankie account. 🤣

  • I am very far from being a tankie, I'm a strong supporter of democracy.You must be very poorly informed to make that post, have you seen any travel descriptions to China lately?I never claimed it's a Utopia, but the fact is that China has invested way way more in education infrastructure and research than the west for decades.To claim China does not have innovation is decidedly moronic. China is now registering more patents than USA, and is the new global leader.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Intellectual_Property_Indicators

  • Technically she she should have been more specific. I just don't get why she lost her head too, instead of just the arms?I guess it must have been an evil Genie. 😋

  • Oh wow, there was racism in Netherlands a hundred years ago? 😱That isn't even relevant in any way to trading with China!. What a moron.When he says fascist states and exploitative labor, I can't even tell if he means China or USA?Or maybe he means both?

  • I'm looking at my pipelines, what is it that I'm supposed to look for?I have no idea what you mean by any of that? Who is black Pete? Is that a slavery reference? And who are you accusing? And what are you accusing them of.

  • I don't know what propaganda you are watching? Is it Fox News?China is fucking 1.4 Billion people, they have invested heavily in infrastructure, education and research for 50 years, while we in Europe and USA have invested only about a third in those areas.Of course they are catching up. Just like Japan did, Just like South Korea did. AND just like USA did stealing technology from Europe.China is now among the world leaders in 8 out of 10 key industries. And very obviously, China is working on their own technology to replace ASML even harder now than they did a few years ago, exactly because USA has demanded we sanction the technology to slow them down on AI.Well guess what. USA will lose the AI race to China so badly, that most probably ALL the big American AI companies will probably go bankrupt. Because they are driven by a gold rush craze, investing way more than the economy can justify. While in China they are pragmatically working towards using cheaper AI solutions to solve actual practical problems.

    I want to trade with China because they are a WAY WAY more reliable trading partner than USA is.

  • Everybody can reverse engineer it, with that mindset nobody could ever sell anything.

  • I bet we can get those parts from China if we make an agreement with them.

  • No it's not, ASML is Dutch and built on Dutch traditions for lithography through more than a century.Just because a few Americans like Intel have stock in ASML doesn't make it American.

  • Maybe EU should ban ASML from selling to USA?And make a law specifically to allow ASML to sell to China.Unfortunately many politicians in Europe are doing as USA ask. But the reality is that USA depend more on EU than the other way around. So we should not let USA decide anything, at a minimum they should consult EU first! Brats.Half the US soft power comes from EU and allies supporting USA. Without us, USA would never have become the global leader they have been for 7 decades.We allowed that because USA helped us in WW2, and it worked pretty well for half a century.But unfortunately USA has torn up all agreements and are walking away from their responsibilities, and work against their allies.We don't owe USA anything anymore, maybe Americans should wake up and realize that.

  • because they want socialism

    I'm guessing you mean democratic socialism or social democracy and not the Marxist kind.Social democracy has created some of the best societies in the world, while the Marxist kind has created some of the worst.

  • Wall Street democrats:

    Hey we are the good guys, we want the same things Republicans want, but without the fascism. 🤢

  • He woke up in a fascist country.ICE is the Gestapo and SS for the Republicans.If you vote for them, you are an idiot.

  • I'm not denying that, but he was known for standing up to trump, that can carry you a long way.

  • This is not a trivial win!

    she won by a clear margin. Nixon received 56.1% of the vote ... ahead of Vindman’s 43.9%.

    Congratulations to Angie Nixon. beating Alexander Vindman is quite an accomplishment, he was not a bad candidate for a democrat. Testifying against Trump in 2019 brought him a lot of respect, and he had more campaign money too!
