If US is going to proceed with trade war on EU, as it was planning anyway, then DeepSeek will be banned only in US. Seems like term "western countries" is slowly eroding.
- bbor 2y agoGreat point. Plus, the revival of serious talk of the Monroe Doctrine (!!!) in the U.S. government lends a possibly completely-new meaning to "western countries" -- i.e. the Americas...
- surgical_fire 2y agoExcept the US has only contempt for anything south of Texas. Perhaps "western countries" will be reduced to US and Canada. Many countries in Latin America have better relations and more robust trade partnerships with China. As for the EU, I think it will be great for it to shed its reliance on the US, and act more independently from it.

And he seems intent on creating a commercial war against all the countries here too. 1 - Do not capture and torture random people on the street if you want to maintain some goodwill. Even if you have reasons to capture them.
- bbor 2y agoYeah... I don't think goodwill was ever a very central part of the Monroe doctrine. Its imperial expansionism, plain n' simple. Embargo + pressure who you can, depose any governments that resist, threaten the rest into silent compliance. Scary times.
