The US doesn't have mining rights though, that can easily change once Trump annexes Greenland.

How easy is it to mine in Greenland compare to say Africa? I think China would ignore US taking over green land for a western retreat from Africa.

I think people kind of ignoring recycling capability isn't China able to recycle like 98% or so of batteries?

The one without the kilometers thick layers of ice is by far easer and cheaper. Trump & co probably wants the US to play a greater role in arctic geopolitics and economy. Alaska isn't ideal due to having Russia as a neighbor, so Greenland it is. Hehe

Faced with Elon Musk and his inteference, Europeans are disunited​

The 27 member states fear that Washington will stop helping Ukraine and will no longer be at their side to ensure their security. They are also worried that Joe Biden's successor will increase tariffs on European imports, as he had promised during his campaign

The Commission's 'shocking silence'
Click to expand...
Yet the EU, which has introduced new regulations to combat the digital giants' excesses, has not yet budged. On the subject of the "conversation" that Alice Weidel, leader of Germany's AfD party, and Musk are due to hold on X on Thursday, January 9, a European Commission spokesman said that "nothing prohibits the expression of personal opinions." He pointed out, however, that major platforms must not use algorithms that artificially accentuate the virality of a piece of content.

Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has so far remained silent on the subject of Musk's practices, although she did speak out when, on December 17, 2024, the EU executive branch opened an investigation into TikTok and its role in the Romanian presidential election. "We must protect our democracies from all forms of foreign interference," she said at the time.

Von der Leyen may be suffering from severe pneumonia, but, "persevering and dedicated as she is, she will continue to keep things running," maintained Commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho on Monday. Finland's Henna Virkkunen, executive vice president in charge of technological sovereignty, security and democracy, was equally silent.

She is "sick" lol
This "silence from the Commission" was considered "shocking" by MEP Nathalie Loiseau (Renew Europe, liberal), for whom "this is not what we expect from a powerful Europe."

Pause in investigations against US platforms

In this high-risk context, the Commission is banking on the transactional side of the American president-elect, whom it hopes may soften to certain concessions. Among other things, Trump could be amenable to a flexible use of the EU's digital regulations, which are exasperating America's tech giants. Indeed, during the campaign, his running mate, JD Vance, suggested that Washington might withdraw its support for NATO if the EU sanctioned Musk.

For the time being, von der Leyen has decided to pause ongoing investigations against US platforms – Apple, Meta and X –

which could see them fined up to 6% of their worldwide sales, and to launch no new ones. "The European digital regulation mechanism, supported by France in particular, is all but dead. It will be all the more difficult to apply it as Europeans differ on what attitude to hold towards Musk. Some leaders, like Giorgia Meloni, share his ideological positions, while others are hoping for Tesla investments on their soil," said a European source. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot declared on RTL on Sunday, January 5: "I solemnly appeal to the Commission not to waver and to enforce European digital regulation very firmly."

While attacking Musk on Monday, Macron went easy on Trump. Despite his obvious differences with Trump, he presented himself as "a solid ally" of the president-elect, whether on Ukraine or the Middle East. "If we decide to be weak and defeatist, there's little chance of being respected by President Trump's US. It's up to us to know how to cooperate with the choice of the American people," said President Macron.

I think we will know more later this year, gotta observe how that Iran-Russian security pact will develop.
That is if Iran will even sign it this month.
Click to expand...

That Security pact depends on how effectively Iran can contribute to North-South Corridor. This Putin soft approach to make Iran useful for Arabs to prevent conflicts because alternative can even destroy this SCO. The title is Arab leader not Islamic leader to graduate to next level things will need to change much deeper. and this RT Arabic poll but widely reported in Arab domestic media.

They don't want war. They know if trump becomes president there will be war between them. And if there is war between Iran and us/Israel it's very clear those Arab idiots will side with America. In this case I don't think even China and Russia will help them. Which means Iran winning this war is nearly zero unless some miracles happen. You need to understand they don't have powerful military like china or Russia.

when Arabs become idiots? They keep afloat so many failed states and have liberated the entire global South from Europeans. and there policies against Europe led to rise of Japan and rest of Asia.
remember that Qaddafi. when he got kickout the door got opened for expelling French from Africa and Arab investments in Africa on much larger scale. Even experience person like Putin with this Soviet left over Foreign ministry didnot understood this Libya issue when head of Russian muslims has to go central press office and from where Russian relearning these things?

Why would China want a territory under H-1B occupation?

This Tisdale guy is supreme moron #1.

If China was in charge of Canada, all the trains would work.
Right now there are 2 Light Rail lines in Toronto constructed, but not in operation. One is 5 years late after 10 years under construction. The other is a year late so far.
In Calgary, a train line was supposed to be fully funded and work began, then cancelled after billions spent.

I think in China, people would be in jail for this.
