I was referring to near term Hard Power that US still has due to access to global base network. They can instantly use it rather than waiting for sanctions to work on phone supply chains and the effectiveness of US empire depends on that phone call that Trump did with MBS. Gulf Monarchies are the biggest beneficiaries of this empire by creating Connectivity (airline routes), Extreme wealth and Soft Power. The Soft Power they know how to use it. Ukraine conflict is that example.
now they brought Meloni to tent.

The West is brainwashed into thinking that political freedom and innovation go hand-in-hand. That's why people can't believe that China came up with an AI model that beats theirs. So who's the the one that got it wrong? Look at how the naysayers are hung up on how much it really cost? Does it make DeepSeek a failure because they think it actually cost more? It still beats theirs. Then on top of that it's open-source. So what if they think it actually cost China more to build. They made it free for everyone. Why do they care if China wasted its money for nothing in return? Isn't that what they wanted to bankrupt China like Reagan did to the Soviet Union during the Cold War...? Their free minds just can't handle that thought.
This reads like how my anti-China father who is learning mandarin. LOL!
Wow, Ms. Ching Chong actually said this??
Does Ms. Ching Chong read SDF???
Something is off here. Trump was the one who initiated sanctions against Nord-stream and is strong-arming the Europeans into buying US energy, meanwhile Europe and Russia have made it clear that they are not interested in restoring their energy relations, so why would such an item be on the menu? None of the parties - US, EU, Russia are interested in this. Except maybe Hungary but they are too small to drive such a demand.
Samsung factories in Vietnan can't operate without Chinese suppliers. They were booking emergency airlifts of parts out of China during COVID.
Almost every single phone in the world passes through Chinese hands at some point.

I support Jewish ubermensch in their rightful conquest of lebensraum. Inferior Arabs needs extermination. If you disagree with me you are a nazi.
That goes for both sides. The US also hasn't exercised its "nuclear" option with respect to economic warfare - not even on Huawei. It hasn't cut the company from the dollar transaction system, for example, and it hasn't applied similar sanctions to other leading Chinese companies like DJI, BYD, and Xiaomi, which Trump could certainly put on the table if he wanted to ignite Trade War 2.0.
It feels like much of what we're talking about now are just the light, probing attacks before the actual battle. Neither side has shown all their cards, and it would be foolish to assume the US is out of options just because it hasn't pressured harder.
The reality is that Trump is smart enough to understand that leverage comes from the threat of action, more so than the action itself. Biden did not understand this, which is why his "shock and awe" failed vis-a-vis Russia and actually strengthened Putin's hand. My guess is that Trump will make a similar move to try and squeeze a favorable deal out of China - he'll create a situation in which the bark is far worse than the bite, and hope Chinese negotiators will lose their nerve. Except this time, he'll also make the carrot sweeter to account for the US's relatively weaker position compared to 2018.
At a certain point you have to feel bad for meta. They’re spending 200m a training run and can’t even reach a good enough performance for them to post the model. At least meta does open sourcing
