If Europeans were paying attention (or being told the truth), they should be beyond appalled by this "deal": https://t.co/ighKahMnIJ
It's nothing more than one of the most expensive imperial tributes in history. Just a massive one-way transfer of wealth with no reciprocal benefits
The "deal" is:
- The EU now gets charged 15% tariffs on its exports to the US when they commit to charging zero tariffs on US imports in the EU
- The EU agrees to invest $600 billion in the US, for no other obvious reason than pleasing "daddy"
- The EU will "purchase hundreds of billions of dollars of American military equipment"
- The EU commits to buying 750 billion dollars worth of very expensive US LNG, specifically $250 billion for each of the next 3 years
In exchange for all these concessions and extraction of their wealth they get... nothing. I'm not even exaggerating, that IS the deal: the EU gets nothing.
This does not even remotely ressemble the type of agreements made by two equal sovereign powers. It rather looks like the type of unequal treaties that colonial powers used to impose in the 19th century - except this time, Europe is on the receiving end.
More worryingly, this sets a dynamic and a precedent: what do you think happens next from here? In the 19th century, were colonial powers content with their first unequal treaty? Of course not - one of the key rules of geopolitics is that weakness only encourages further exploitation.
Again, this is Europe's century of humiliation.
La UE no puede invertir en nada, que cojones es esto?
Discutimos lo que no se puede hacer y nos cuelan el resto?
Cualquier partido que no se posicione en contra de esto es un traidor a la patria y a Europa
I don't think we need 27-tweet threads to explain why caving to all of US demands for nothing in return because "it's the best we could do" is not a great outcome for the EU.
Not trying to FUD or sound schizo but it's actually concerning that multiple Satoshi-era wallets are exiting entirely. These are OG cypherpunks from a tight-knit circle who might collectively know something insane like BTC has a fatal flaw or Satoshi is about to reactivate.

The Venture Capital Apocalypse is coming...it might even be here already.
The venture capital asset class is facing a watershed moment. Orphaned/Zombie VC software companies are everywhere.
I'm a 'DATA DRIVEN' guy so I'm going to show you 6 graphs that illustrate how dire the situation is.
This Man From MIT spent most of his life saying that neurons in the brain are logic gates like those in digital computers and that the brain can be understood as a Turing machine (a universal digital computer). He said, "If you know theology at all, well, you'll realize that the ideas in the mind of God are mathematics and logic."
Warren McCulloch, the genius Yale Graduate, Neuropsychologist, Cybernetician, and MIT Researcher, proposed the first Neural Network in an MIT Research Lab in 1943.
He was raised with the expectation of becoming a Christian minister but became fascinated with mathematics instead. He feels that mathematics represents the ideas of God and has pursued this interest throughout his scientific career.
He has always wanted to understand the concept of a number and how a person can truly know a number. He admits he has grasped part of this question but is still searching for a complete understanding.
