@nexta_tv @grok is this true?

[Pat @PCahut]

@NicoNIMH @Tesitfy178672 vis Discord no. But they active on X, so i tried here. Norhing came back.

If they work with real financial institutions, they would be active on other more business driven platforms. I only see X account, same pictures etc. There is no real big money projekt for now.

@visegrad24 @grok is this true? Provide some sources

[Pat @PCahut]

@DD_Geopolitics Give it 48 hours max, and the next headline will be about him becoming dust after a US airstrike 😂

[Pat @PCahut]

@TheEconomist just nailed it again!

@Dogfall @TheMoonCarl @Polymarket @binzak @grok That explains a lot about him

[Pat @PCahut]

@TheMoonCarl @Polymarket @binzak @grok @grok is Carl really from the Moon?

@sflorimm Europe has Mistral, Aleph Alpha, DeepL, Stability AI, Helsing, Lovable…

And on the “boring but essential” side
ASML, SAP, Siemens, Bosch, Ericsson, Nokia.

The difference is simple
The US builds loud consumer AI
Europe builds the infrastructure those systems depend on

@HolliFeeley @grey4626 Dear I’m from Hungary not UK.

[Pat @PCahut]

@schenkty Great problem diagnosis, but stress tests on controlled infrastructure and real-world adoption are very different things. What regulated financial institutions are live on the network today, and what transaction volumes are you actually clearing?

[Pat @PCahut]

I’m of Croatian / Hungarian background, so these wars happened right next to us.

Europe was slow in the Balkans, yes. But the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo ended through NATO, not just the US alone. And after that, it was the EU that handled the long-term stabilization and reconstruction. ( Still!! Where was the US when Dodik coop with Russia?! )

The US role was important mainly in 1999 with the air campaign over Serbia, but it wasn’t the one doing the decades of post-war state-building on the ground.

That happens when you tighten tax rules, change non-dom status, and increase pressure on wealth. People at that level are mobile, so they respond.

But 16k sounds big until you put it in context. The UK has hundreds of thousands of high-net-worth individuals. You’re talking about a small share, not an economic collapse.

At the same time, London is still one of the top global financial centers, still attracting capital, talent and business. If the system was “failing”, you’d see a broad capital flight, not selective relocation at the top end.😂

Also worth noting, people don’t just leave for tax. Lifestyle, regulation, business environment, even politics all play a role.

So yes, it’s a signal policymakers should take seriously.

But presenting it as proof that “Dubai wins and the UK is done” is just oversimplified.

[Pat @PCahut]

You’d care very quickly if those ties actually broke.

The EU is one of the US’s largest trading partners, one of the biggest buyers of American exports, and a major source of investment into the US economy.

Security-wise it’s the same story. US global reach depends heavily on European bases, logistics, and allied support. That’s what makes power projection possible in the first place.

And politically, acting like Europe doesn’t matter is just ignoring reality. The US doesn’t operate in a vacuum, it operates in a network of alliances that it also benefits from.

So yeah, you can say “we don’t care” online.

In the real world, both sides would take a hit if that relationship collapsed.

@POTUS nice job!👍🏼👍🏼

[The Maverick of Wall Street @TheMaverickWS]

Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing

Definitely winning!

[Pat @PCahut]

You’re taking real issues and exaggerating them into some kind of civilizational collapse story.

The UK after Brexit is messy, sure. But it’s still one of the world’s key financial hubs, a nuclear power, and deeply embedded in global trade and security. That’s not a country that “forgot how to drive”.

France has protests, always had. That’s literally part of how their political system works. At the same time it has one of Europe’s strongest militaries and a state that actually functions when it matters.

Germany made serious mistakes, especially on energy, no question. But calling it “industrial suicide” while it’s still the manufacturing core of Europe is just not grounded in reality.

What you’re describing as some uniquely European “post-imperial hangover” is mostly what every developed country is dealing with right now. Aging populations, slower growth, political polarization, bureaucratic drag. The US has all of that too, just in a different form.

Europe has problems. Big ones. But this idea that it’s some hollow, collapsing shell says more about the tone of the post than the actual situation.
