Fuck Portugal I guess?
It makes sense for all of Eastern Europe to be the same level.
Didn’t realize Portugal was Eastern European

Who knows what that’s revenge for.
Yea what the hell, why us?
How often did you elect a socialist government you sickos?! I am disgusted.
Where do I sign up btw? Just so, you know, I can avoid becoming Portuguese.
Austria too!
I mean, austria has no issues skirting sanctions and the incoming right wing government around the FPÖ and Kickl is very Putin friendly.
I can see why Biden might be careful. But that may change with the new government.
No, it’s worse than that. Putin attended a wedding (in 2018, 5 months post Crimea annexation) of the then foreign minister [link].
They dissolved their government in 2019 after the then leader of the FPÖ told a journalist pretending to be a relative of an oligarch, that she could ensure positive coverage in exchange for government contracts. This might not be a direct link to a foreign enemy, but the corruption runs deep. [Link]
A senior quasi-secret service officer was discovered by the British to have been a spy for at least 7 years before he was apprehended. He was (cheaply) selling state secrets and providing information to the Russians… [link.]
You’ve got to love them 🇦🇹
Also Mexico? The Phillipines? Greenland?
Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.

Oh, it’s the map they always use
Denmark is blue but Greenland isn’t. The comedy basically writes itself
Either that map is wrong, or the US doesn’t understand how the EU works.
Both them and China try very hard not to.
Excluding some EU countries is a great move toward accelerating the Union’s fracturing.
I guess letting a handful of white-collar racist IP lawyers draft your foreign policy isn’t such a good idea after all.
Meh. CTU means stuff comes into e.g. Rotterdam and then easily wherever it needs to go from there, and complaining about “evading sanctions” seems to me like an exercise in futility.
I’m not sure I get that part. Movement of goods within the EU is tax free, so why wouldn’t another country just import it, and move it to, say, Portugal?
I really doubt any sort of US action could lead to the EU fracturing.
If anything, having to deal with the US has brought us closer together. On one side there’s Trump making a fool of himself and of the US. On the other side there’s Musk, thinking he can take on European unions and actually win, because he thinks he’s still in the US, and in the middle there’s what i like to call the sheep pen of tech companies. We shear their wool for fines on privacy violations every couple of months to fund our regulatory organs.
Switzerland…?
Geopolitics. Whoever isn’t on board with USA (or is suspected not to be) is getting sanctions. Austria and Swiss are neutral (on paper), that’s not really going to fly with “you’re with us or you’re against us” attitude of the US.
My guess is they are not a member of the EU. I don’t understand Portugal tho.
Oh c’mon! It’s not just Portugal, there’s half of the EU missing…
In a completely useless way because of the single market.
Biden didn’t want to provoke the Turks and so Greece is also a tier 2 country
whole east Europe is tier 2. What an influence Turkey has!
The world seriously needs an alternative to US technology.
Also what does Biden have against Iceland and Greenland?
Fuck austria I guess
And love Guyana!
That’s French guiana which is part of France. Not even some weird colonial situation like Puerto Rico, it’s a full department (province) with all the rights of mainland French departments.
With that in mind, the country that France shares the most border with is Brazil.
I guess the US feels threatened by Greenland’s prospering chip industry
Biggest shock on here is Israel isn’t blue. I guess this as much of a fuck you for ruining my presidency Biden could muster on his way out.
He’s giving them $8bn in arms to kill Palestinians, so I don’t think that’s the case there. Obama did the same on his way out.
“There is an urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza and the return of hostages, alongside a surge in humanitarian aid”
They will just steal any tech they want anyway, like the nuke.
Regarding your Peter Griffin meme: Us Swiss and our Austrian neighbors are pretty white on average, but even beyond that, the Czech, the Polish, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians are very white on average.
Also Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in the blue tier… Don’t know what OP is on about.
Edit: lol didn’t realize i was on .ml
The ROK is essentially a US colony, their military is subservient to the US’ military “in wartime.” Guess what? They have always been in “wartime.”
Taiwan is similar, the US maintains a large military presence there and in Japan to try to keep China in check as a geopolitical adversary.
East asian countries after WW2 (minus China) are essentially subsidaries of Western/US imperialism.
“The worldwide interest in accelerated computing for everyday applications is a tremendous opportunity for
the US to cultivate, promoting the economy and adding US jobsimperialism.”Occupied Palestine is tier 2? Doesnt he love their genocide?
