Isn't Norway a key NATO member and huge buyer of F35 jets and other key US tech? What should Norway do? Buy Chinese and Russian instead?

What happened to Europe?

  • What's the European alternative to the things OpenAI puts in their datacenters?

    What's the European alternative to Nvidia H100s and Quantum InfiniBand, AMD Epycs and Instincs, and Intel Xeons?

    In the past you had European companies like ST, Ericsson, Nokia and Siemens who could design cutting edge compute and networking chips of the time, but those days are long gone, with European companies have missed out on the hyperscale race being relucted to making commodity low margin products, so they either have to buy American or Chinese if they want cutting edge.

Seems like the EU has decided to pull away from the US. As has Canada and frankly, a lot of the rest of the world.

  • Pulling away by investing billions in the US economy and buying more US products and services?

    You have a weird definition of pulling away.

    • If you review the stipulations of the "deals" and read any of the analysis, these are stop-gaps.

      New production commitments, military commitments, pulling away from US big tech.

      No matter what happens, the damage has been done. It's picking up momentum seemingly every day.

      And they seem more than happy to take our scientific researchers.
