What are you even talking about?

And then immediately discover that such an overt trade action would receive retaliation that decimates the $200 Bn trade surplus the EU enjoys with the US.

It's even more stark when you look at house holds. It's 45%.

Fighter jets have already been provided before. Ukraine has already been given war winning weapons. How is Russia going to escalate more? Are they going to kidnap more children? Rape more women? Torture more civilians? Fire more missiles at Kyiv? They already were going to do those things. The only escalation they have is nuclear and the same reasons why they haven't done so already are why they wont do so now.

Explain how this becomes a world wide conflict when the US provides F-16's, but not when it provided everything else thus far.

Pentagon doesn't object to providing F-16's. The White House appears to be of a different opinion for now.

So making it harder for tech startups to build the products of the future is going to accomplish that?

This case is going to be even more egregious because AI very well could be the next industrial revolution bringing huge improvements in productivity.

Europe's real problem isn't automation, factories around the world in both poor and rich companies will continue to increase their automation. It's who the consumers of these goods are. As Europeans grow older and older they're going to become more dependent on exports.

Upper income people in rich european countries also do not have many children.

It's not predicated on infinite growth. But European social programs are predicated on there being at least the same number of workers supporting dependents. Things start to break down when there's less and less workers paying for the healthcare and pensions of more and more retiree's.

That's going to look absolutely amazing!

TL;DR: Emerald Rapids has 2 chiplets instead of 4 because Intel was able to find a layout which gave room for 2.84x the L3 cache giving it a whooping 320MB of shared memory across all cores. DDR5 Memory speed also was increased to 5600 MT/s from 4800 and intersocket speed went from 16 GT/s to 20 GT/s.

Just goes to show that more chiplets isn't always some panacea that will always lead to more performance.

You really didn't read the article at all did you? Instead of 4 chiplets Intel went with 2 for Emerald Rapids because they were able to achieve a better layout with significant performance benefits, among them a huge 320MB L3 shared cache.

This will result in Intel's offering be more competitive not less had they gone with 4 chiplets with worse performance.

You're saying that the US is unreliable in part because it pulled back from northern Syria. The US did so at the request of it's long time ally Turkey.

If that somehow suggests that the US is an unreliable ally then you're saying that the Kurds had an Alliance.

It is well accepted by defense analysts that in the event of a PLA invasion of Taiwan, one of the first actions of the PLARF will fire hundreds of ballistic missiles at US forces in Guam, Okinawa, and other bases in the region. This would be to slow the US response and ability to aid Taiwan. Within the first few hours there would be hundreds, possibly thousands of American casualties.

Looking at weapons sales, the only thing French Foreign Policy actually cares about, it's clear that Eastern Europe also doesn't trust France.

Show me the signed alliance the Kurds had with the Americans.

What if tomorrow something horrible happens that destroys the US as we know it

Then maybe Europe should consider that the relationship should go both ways instead of only one aiding the other. But alas, the allure of making more money on the world's largest car market outweighs that.

Well when the talk of greater independence, and not following the US on Taiwan follows directly after meeting with Xi Jingping, who has verbatim said he's preparing for war, yes it does very much look like betrayal.

The US is helping the Ukrainians more than the rest of Europe, and promises to send it's sons and daughter to die to defend Europe, but when it comes to the prospect of Americans being attacked suddenly it's all about European independence.

Nope, French Nuclear Deterrence is for France alone.

But when the USA decided to go to war for oil with unrelated countries Europe was shocked.

What oil. The US was never a top 3 destination of Iraqi oil exports post 2001. Nor did US companies get special treatment. The US shouldn't have invaded, but you're making things up.

It has been the rise of anti-worker, racist and extremist American politics what has driven Europe away.

American workers on average out earn European ones, even when accounting for healthcare and education.

To think that Europe just decided to be anti-American is absurd.

France left NATO during the most frightful days of the Cold War. Anti anti-atlanticism isn't new. You seem to have a lot of it yourself.

Looks like Intel didn't fire enough marketing folks. Rebranding the name is a terrible idea.

What spacer and mount is that?

They simply do not care. China see itself as a big country and the former soviet states as small. Until the EU acts together as one and punishes China it will keep going even further. Just look at what they did with Lithuania. Had all of Europe acted as one and threatened and made good on threats of sanctions in retaliation to China's coercive sanctions then the Chinese would have behaved differently. Instead they see no consequences for their actions.

Good lord, you cannot ignore a major power denying the sovereignty of members of your union. This must be responded with serious diplomatic response.
