This whole thread is about the case where the US goes to war with the EU (taking Greenland is war, no matter how the Trump admin tries to spin it).

The EU also has technologies the US is completely dependent on, advanced industries need European tech to function. The tech stuff from the US is much easier to replace than the US developing litography machines on the level of ASML.

It's actually quite simple to copy photos from an iPhone, even my mother-in-law does it regularly to save them, and prints some out as gifts. Much easier (and faster) than the BT stuff from the Razr era.

Not only judges in the ICC, the USA also used sanctions against a Brazilian Supreme Court Justice that is responsible for Bolsonaro's attempted coup case. It's even more egregious it used the Magnitsky Act for that...

Might makes right, you are correct. The USA's might is highly dependent on the world order it fostered after WW2, and especially after the Cold War. Erode that, and the USA as we've known the past 70 years starts to crumble. If in

Maduro is a left-wing dictator though, not the right kind of despot for the Trump administration. It's a grudge against anything socialist/communist-adjacent. Rubio is a warhawk, hoping it all backfires in this administration&#x27

To be intelligent is to realise that any test for intelligence is at best a proxy for some parts of it. There's no objective way to measure intelligence as a whole, we can't even objectively define intelligence.
