What's up with Switzerland and Austria?
Politically unreliable
Ah, the cracker index
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.
I guess the US feels threatened by Greenland's prospering chip industry
I'm not sure what tier 2 loses in terms of access.
This obviously continues the Chinese need to "delete America" and capitalize competition to Nvidia, where they are not horribly behind H100 if that is the tier 2 standard. Tier 2 is now automatically motivated to help China to help themselves. Nvidia buying Trump is an easy path to get their oligarchy prioritized over bad arguments against capturing smaller global market that reduces innovation.
Fuck Portugal I guess?
It makes sense for all of Eastern Europe to be the same level.
Didn't realize Portugal was Eastern European
Also Mexico? The Phillipines? Greenland?
Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.
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.

Are those chips actually made in US? Or just designed?
Oh, it's the map they always use
Excluding some EU countries is a great move toward accelerating the Union’s fracturing.
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.
I guess letting a handful of white-collar racist IP lawyers draft your foreign policy isn't such a good idea after all.
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?
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.
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.

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.
Occupied Palestine is tier 2? Doesnt he love their genocide?
"The worldwide interest in accelerated computing for everyday applications is a tremendous opportunity for ~~the US to cultivate, promoting the economy and adding US jobs~~ imperialism."
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?
The more you buy, the more you save!
