SirButcher

Just the regular fascist doublethink. The enemy is always so strong that your very existence is in danger (and only **WE** can protect you), but so comically weak that they are never able to achieve anything. You can stop this everywhere, from Sleepy Biden (who is a criminal mastermind and controlling the whole world) to the EU (going to create a nightmare united Europe, but can't pass a single law and is on the verge of falling apart) and through countless other examples, including the original from the Nazis where the Jews controlled the whole world's banking sector killing Germany but never could stop the rise of fascism.

Thats why the EU is gearing up for war, double or bust at the big casino

bers legit downvote all positive comments during late night - morning NA hours lol I got laid off from GE last week so I've started hanging out here during this time as well as during the day recently, and the late night - morning people here are legit the most disgruntled, bitter, and negative people. Can't tell if it's just because everyone is laid off / unemployed like me up at this time, or EU poors LOL

MarienBean

There is still the general 15% tariff on all goods from EU i think.

Fancy_Rice_2799

Didnt US and EU make a trade deal? When I try to order from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) I still get slapped with import charges?

Apprehensive_Law7629

Did that after he started talking about taking Greenland. Still have some US stock but I reduced my exposure to US market from 70% to 30%. The Japan and EU ETF I integrated are indeed outperforming US market during last year.

AtlanticRelation

Who knows. Most likely they'll avoid confrontation. Still, the EU has previously boarded Russian shadow ships and there was little reaction from Russia. You don't have much ground to stand on when it's under a different flag and other ships are being blocked under the threat of destruction by Iran.

Apprehensive_Law7629

I don’t like Tesla but at the same time it’s been the first company with approval for self-pilot cars test in EU. That might change the “taxi/uber” market forever

randomwriteoff

Even when the US market is open and the ETF isn’t trading, its fair value is still moving in the background based on futures and pricing models. When the EU market opens, it usually gaps to reflect what happened overnight. That said, if you’re trying to react to intraday US moves, EU ETFs aren’t ideal. I ran into the same issue and ended up using etoro for US stocks directly, since you can trade in real time instead of waiting for the ETF price to adjust.

thornCircuit

If EU starts buying US oil then our price at the pump will increase.  They are willing to pay like $10/gal, are you ready to pay that so that exxon gets rich selling to EU?  You are correct that somebody is getting rich from this but it ain't us, we are gonna be the ones paying the costs

Pete26l96

Germany announced they're shifting away from Microsoft products including Azure, much of the EU has stated they're following suit, actually going as far as to make legislation regarding it. People on reddit downplay this but it's going to be a serious hit to MSFT's growth and bottom line. A lot of newer companies that are overtaking older ones also no longer use legacy MSFT software.

imunfair

Blockading the EU ports and making them pay a toll to leave is the real 6D moneymaker here.

OneTwoThreePooAndPee

I've got puts on Nvidia, calls on Google+Amazon, and the rest in China, EU, and IGOV... And other than that, man, I don't even know where to go right now.

Ok-Piece-2546

Maybe EU thought he was just bluffing and his admin wouldn't be this big of fools. Using hard measures against the USA could send the global economy down. South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan can't say much because they are dependent on U.S. for defense. Meanwhile China and Russia are more than fine watching U.S. destroy relationships. I'm hoping China does send some ships and weapons to Iran and EU and Asian counties reliant on oil also send their navy to stop this madness. Also stop Isreal too while they are at it, as Isreal seems to be salivating at any chance to stop peace talks.

Pete26l96

MSFT down 3.2% in pre-market LOL Microsoft be creating generational bag holders, why anyone would hold after Germany announced they're completely shifting away from MSFT legacy products and EU is planning to follow os beyond me.

Soossaaaa

Pakistan, Venezuela, Greenland, and Iran have all have 2 common themes: - They have resources US wants - They have heavy investments from China Everyone is missing the big picture this has all been to weaken China. 🥭 wants turmoil in the Middle East and EU so that US becomes an even stronger default currency. #### Here's my take on what happens next: - US secures the strait and oil+minerals - US will go for Afghanistan next to reclaim Bagram Air Base (using Pakistan as a proxy) - Russia will be invited back to the G8 with Ukraine land concession in exchange for oil+minerals

Pristine_Afternoon96

Seems like they’re doing this to draw the EU countries out to open the strait

Dutchpapersilver666

TACO will TACO on Tuesday about blockage Strait of Hormuz when he found out no one (NATO/EU) will come and help him lol

Polysorbate800

Whoa the EU just announced an agreement to block the strait

postusa2

They just held up 180 billion dollars of funding... they aren't irrelevant to the course of the EU at all.

Wise_Monkey_Sez

\> This announcement is expected to weigh heavily on global energy markets, as it will bring the trickle of traffic through the Strait to a complete standstill. No, it won't. China or some other nation will order some ship with a skeleton crew to run the blockade, effectively calling Trump's bluff. If Trump fires on the ship it'll be WW3. The USA will have pissed off so many nations that they'll be fighting a war on a hundred different fronts. While the US military is powerful it is also not capable of fighting a global war on its own. US planes and ships will be vulnerable on a global scale and EU is likely to play the "NATO is a defensive alliance and you started this war you muppets." card. So Trump will chicken out. He always chickens out. Everyone knows this. Also, the US economy can't survive on its domestic oil supply. Blockading the Straits of Hormuz will hurt the USA more than it hurts anyone else. And Iran? Iran doesn't care. They'll continue to hit oil infrastructure in the Middle East. They'll be supported by less oil-dependant nations like China who are profiting heavily (both politically and economically) from this stupid conflict.

Salty-Bid1597

Without the US Iran wouldn't be under an embargo and goods would have flown freely for decades. The US strongarmed the EU to keep the embargo on Iran.

Vegetable_Good6866

Hormuz is a pretty good country in EU4

JennaTulwartz

I think the idea is pressuring their governments into applying more pressure on the US (a pretty low bar to clear since they’ve applied zero pressure so far) to cut the bullshit. EU nations have been the biggest cucks during 🥭 pt 2 and their citizens have noticed  

Yokoko44

Without the US, Iran would have closed the strait 40 years ago lol. EU has been freeloading off of US military protection since WW2, pay up or shut up losers

EU won´t join this conflict and even if their ships sink they won´t give a shit because we are cowards on the global scale. Sadly thats how it is.

Admirable_Heart_271

Not for trading advice obviously but for verifying data presented is correct and up to date not some 2month old news etc because so much utter BS get’s posted these days and then add bots+100% AI posts also. I’m too lazy to Google myself so Gemini is really helpful and I use Gemini at work also. I don’t think there’s much difference if you use GPT,Gemini,Claude or Grok even but for me Gemini works the best. Annoying thing is it gets time wrong for example. Might be because I’m in EU and sometimes fails to get the right timezone or maybe I spam too much and it gets confused.

gul_bil

The US is a major benefactor from high oil prices, specially in light of Venezuela. I suppose he also blatantly rigs markets. The interesting thing is how China is going to deal with forcible disruption of a vessel headed to them. He has also alienated friends and allies, which would complicate matters. Which incentive does for instance the UK/EU have to uphold a blockade which messes with their economy, after the last year of stuff? 

Maxion

China will blockade the straight behind the US blockade and also charge a toll. Then EU blockades the straight...

Soffatjockis

Either Florida or Sibera for that fucker. So I guess Florida. Then again, he is no use to anyone when he's not cockblocking the EU.

ShittyUsernane1222

The US-Iran war will be one massive geopolitical shit-show. India is going to support Israel to keep its own Muslim population in check while also supporting Iran to keep Pakistan in check. Pakistan in turn will support Saudi Arabia to keep India in check and Palestine to keep India in check. NATO is going to probably dissolve into a multi-faction infighting mess due to pro-US and US-skeptical countries splitting away to form their own NATO alternatives due to 🥭 shenanigans. There might be an upcoming US-EU conflict since the US is supporting Orban and EU is supporting Magyar and the US is clearly supporting anti-EU groups inside the EU.

ohell

Yep. Like always, > our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran^(unless they belong to a country under the protection of China or Russia) EU will need to find its spine sharpish - no more touching Daddy's happy place so he will let us sleep in peace!

Kattilaeikka

In other news there is elections in Hungary today. Hungary is completely irrelevant as a country but the election results may have massive geopolitical implications. Based on polls the Russia & US backed pro-russian anti-european corrupt fascist autocrat will lose after 16 years in power. He has managed to veto a lot of good things EU has tried to accomplish through out the years.

KeySpecialist9139

"The finest in the world," all alone at the world's most important traffic jam, begging for backup while your allies are literally forming a group chat to clean up your mess. Let's run down the list. Germany called it "not our war" and asked what "a handful of European frigates" could do that the mighty US Navy can't, Canada flatly said "no intention of being involved", Japan, Italy, and Australia all said no, France and the UK basically went "let me check my calendar and get back to you", EU officials called it "a complete mess" and said they have "no desire" to help. And the cherry on top? About 40 countries are now working together to fix the Strait and the US wasn't even invited to the meeting. So yes, can you please be more stupid? It's going great - for China and Russia. 🤣

loveiseverything

EU ships will be stopped. USA will not stop Chinese or Indian ships.

CurvedTVGreen8788

Separating the political impact and Elon impact on the price of a stock is naive though. Elon's political stance is one of the primary reasons the rest of the world has basically stopped buying Tesla vehicles and set their sights on Chinese brands like BYD and Xaomi. As someone that has traveled to the EU and Asia recently, I don't think you realize how good those Chinese vehicles are compared to Teslas for a fraction of the price. The only reason Tesla is still relevant is US protectionism and the fact that companies like BYD etc. are still building out their supply chains worldwide. There is no universe where Tesla is going to win this EV game long term.

dzjay

No way the USA stops Chinese or Indian ships. This will be an attack against the EU only 

ReceptionFantastic25

France? Lol bruh France and EU have been trying everything to f* with US companies, not just MSFT, for decades. No hope if they have no real replacements lol

RevolutionaryGold325

China will just laugh, increase their ev production and wait for US to get through cutting its branch. EU will start negotiating a new trade deal with china by the end of the year and abandon the American voters idea of a beautiful world.

ShittyUsernane1222

we know US navy is gay and in general most world navies are gay too. I wonder if the ceasefire negotiations actually succeeded and the US navy is aiding Iran in its blockade so that US navy sailors and Iranian sailors do gay shit while fucking over the EU (one of 🥭's big enemies) by destroying their oil supply.

If Asian economies are truly in trouble and EU is not far off due to energy shortages, then money will leave those shores and flow into US markets. That portends a green day to start the week unless there’s an escalation in the Hormuz.

YeonneGreene

>Forking is a git command. Maintaining a sovereign operating system stack is a multi-billion euro, decade-long institutional commitment. "Just fork it" is the tech equivalent of "just print more money." Yes, and? You think the USA is going to blow up the entire FOSS industry tomorrow by shackling it with hard export controls (granted, today's the US government is virulently stupid)? You think France can't find a billion euros in its budget to move mountains if it needs to? You think France needs to in-house ALL of it at once and couldn't at least temporarily pivot to EU-sourced alternatives that have been spooling up over the last few years or been spooled up? You think it's unprecedented that an adversarial country might be able to maintain its own sovereign operating system within a relatively short timespan? Or that it must necessarily shun all relations with the US-driven FOSS to achieve its aims of sovereign control of its government software stack? Like, you are basing your assessment on the doomed effort of one city that doesn't have the budget, economic levers, regulatory powers, or compelling national security interests of a nation state. Frankly, LiMux is irrelevant. You should be looking at Kylin, which took 5 years to stand up in the early 2000s, or Astra, which took about 8 in the 2010s.

Rfunkpocket

the day the EU said they wouldn’t help open the strait until the fighting stopped, was the day Trump began only looking for a off-ramp allowing him to save face. this is over. nothing but all caps meltdowns from here on out.

Puzzled-Intern-7897

Why would you consider AstraZeneca a stable stock, to me Pharma-stocks where very patent reliant and swingy when it comes to new approvals. One wrong study and the stock can tank -80% sometimes. This is at least what I have always thought, happy to learn more. Regardless of this I have a similar approach, but it's all a bit shifted. My safe base is bonds and dividends, German Bunds, French OATs, IG EU-business bonds, and dividends payers such as BAT. My middle sleeve is good Cashflow names with growth such as SAP, and I was thinking about maybe adding Utility company's such as Iberdrola. Last is my bets, right now mostly aiming at stagflation, so commodities or companies that have inflation protection through contracts or other types of pricing power. Siemens Energy for example can tell the costumer what they want, because GE can't repair their turbines. This part of the Portfolio is around 30% when I make my macro bet, that either fails, or gets trimmed or sold, once it pays off. (BAT was a bet against Liberation day, I kept my winnings in it and allocated my original position to a new bet) I am basically creating a stable base, to do macro plays from. So far the bets have been all the movers in my portfolio, the base just pays coupons or dividends.

lOo_ol

Your comment misses the point. No one cares if it's made in Portland or Lisbon. Linux is open source. The idea is to gradually decouple from US arm-wrestling politics. In other words, in some not-so-distant future, if the US forces Microsoft to stop serving the EU if they're ever at war over, I don't know, let's say Greenland, the EU has the source code of Linux and can keep operating regardless of what the White House says.

dobik

Don't know and doesn't care. I think it may get be a strong president for the private sector there to follow as well as a trend within EU. I think lately the German government did something similar to France in ditching MS tools

YeonneGreene

Where Linux is managed is kind of a nothing-burger. If shit hits the fan that hard, France/EU just fork the project, give the middle finger to the US over licensing, and carry on.

Holiday_Sandwich3738

Imagine that China who is notorious for poor workers right and working conditions does the same else where? This is why the Reddit glaze on China I can’t take seriously. The same people screaming for better pay and workers right also glaze China and hate on the EU and U.S. who have not perfect but at least some protections.

Larry_3d

I'm European 🤣 when EU tells US companies to comply with EU regulations does not mean banning

g3tr1ghttt

So you essentially in agreement that it is purely political. And as I mentioned above, the pendulum in the US will swing as it always does, and US will restore relations with their partners. Also, if you have been following the EU regulations, there is a clear indication of the Gov’s milking money from the largest companies under the guise of human rights and personal data protection, while increasing domestic surveillance. Now, I’m not blaming just the EU, you can see the trend pretty much across the globe.

Endogamy

It won’t be a French solution alone, it will be an EU (and possibly UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Japan) solution. The risk of using US tech is beginning to look a lot like the risk of using Chinese tech. With the long term trends in geopolitics there will absolutely be a “middle powers” tech ecosystem, it’s a matter of national security. If Aleph Alpha was publicly traded I’d be buying.

g3tr1ghttt

You’re comparing whole Europe with the lagging political climate in the part of the US. Back in the day when the US tech was getting started, neither California nor the US was as regulated and taxed as is Europe today. That climate boosted the startups decades ago, and they did not have much global competition, financial risk was negligible, money was free because the US was the world’s financial hub. Trying the same enterprise today in Europe is not feasible due to pre-existing competition, heavy regulations, taxes, a pile of EU Gov’s debt. The US overall is less taxed and regulated and the companies you might have in mind are typically incorporated in Delaware or Wyoming while claiming California as their headquarters, as well as their structure is not as simple as most might think.

Fineous40

🥭 - All these countries can’t count on the US anymore EU - we need to move away from US tech because we can’t count on it anymore. * EU moves away from US tech. Pikacho face

> the entire EU moving away from microsoft and onto linux I realize Linux is open source, and isn't owned by one country, but you know it's heavily supported by US organizations, right? The Linux Foundation is based in California. Linus Torvalds, the lead developer and maintainer of the Linux kernel, lives in Portland, Oregon.

I_am_Nerman

What other countries? And what are they working on? Europe is overtaxed and over regulated. That's why capital is not interested. Life as we know it is going to change over the next decade. The US and China are at the forefront of the revolution. The EU is so far behind they'll never catch up. They'll try to tax and regulate what the US builds but at the end of the day, they're cooked.

BeginningEar8070

well the main argument is that they dont have to ban it from the sectors that are treated as risk (even if the word ban is mentioned it doesnt mean the cloud services cant be sued by normies), but EU the arguments i wrote clearly show that without banning explicitly the policies restrict some non EU company presence and sovereign planning is realistic. and this is where i want to see other people constructive arguments and opinions.

BeginningEar8070

As sidenote- Palantir also is slowly having bad sentiment in EU and some governments slowly look to get rid of it- NEC is mostly active in Japan, but with Leonardo and Indra its becoming a great alternative to something like palantir. switzerland terminated palantir contract over data sovereignity risk nhs england - 40 health groups demand concellation - contract review feb 2027, and general scrunity over 670 pund contract with allegations of flawed procurement EU in general - cloud act exposure means palantir data can be compelled by US government- structuraly incompatibile with EU AI Act Palantir will be going strong in USA (funnily trump tweeted the ticker this week)

Larry_3d

EU is not banning any companies, get your ducks in a row.

Different_Career1009

The point people are missing, is that this will likely spread over EU. MS starts losing government contracts in several countries. Then in all countries. I hope you are following the general decoupling strategy of EU from the US since Donald proved to be an enemy. US companies that can be weaponized against the EU are not welcome.

Julez_Jay

Basically any that could find some replacement that's more local. There's a lot of companies in the EU that will actively leave out Microsoft, Amazon or Oracle from new contracts in Hosting, Infrastructure and Cloud in the future and will look to replace them with european competitors.

HoneyBadger552

EU restricts their access to the markets. they have this silly thing called  penision..penisipice..Pension! thats the one. silly thing

Kekopster

A one way death spiral? That’s your words, not mine. The EU will replace American tech, including MSFT, in the same way that China has had to.

FrogLickr

That *is* happening though. It's being executed slowly because that's both the natural speed of geopolitical change, and the smartest way to go about it. For instance, my country Australia has enacted a free trade agreement with the EU, has restarted homegrown manufacturing efforts, and is making deals with China and Japan to ensure the economy keeps running uninterrupted despite this stupid fucking war.  Anti-US sentiment in Aus has never been higher, and while anecdotal, I know numerous people who have cancelled travel plans to the States as a result of Trump's new border policies and fear of illegal persecution (they already got one Aussie, why risk it?) Their concerns may be exaggerated, but the mood in the room is still obvious and not completely unfounded. The US has obliterated all the trust it built up within the space of a year, and the rest of the world is very much beginning to move on. Start learning Mandarin, because Trump's America is handing the world to China.

amiibohunter2015

Look up [Project Nimbus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Nimbus) Its Google, Amazon, the US government and the Israeli Government using A.I. in war against Palestinians, and Iranians. This  a whole military war plan, an illegal war at that where war crimes are committed against Iranians and Palestinians. Iran / Palestine are knocking out the A.I. data center out of survival and other countries should too. Why because if it can happen to them, it can happen to you. Trump already targetted Venezulea, and then Palestine/Iran, he has spoken about targetting Greenland. By the day, Trump is getting more power crazy. So who and what is stopping him from going full global [Blitzkrieg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg)? It echoes exactly Hitlers tactic of [Blitzkrieg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg) and it echoes historical warnings like: [First They Came](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came) Which goes: >First they came for the Communists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Communist >Then they came for the Socialists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Socialist >Then they came for the trade unionists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a trade unionist >Then they came for the Jews >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Jew >Then they came for me >And there was no one left >To speak out for me The sooner The People snub them out the sooner better quality of The Peoples lives will get, the less lives lost to an unneccessary war, the more jobs will return, employment prospects for human beings will increase, the economy will get better faster, disparity will go down, the UN, EU, and NATO will strengthen, Iran, Palestine, Ukraine will be strengthened via time of healing, by the reinforced NATO, UN, and EU.

Consistent_Panda5891

"Quickly recovers". Lmao. If you think this bear market rally is recovery you need to go to 2000's year. Economy is actually cooked now, and that 500 points pump in pure fake ceasefire negotiations & fake ceasefire only proves how desperate are MMs to get exit liquidity and low price puts of newbies who keep selling them. SaaS stocks got pretty much done because of Anthropic new capabilities (which is not yet in public market). Then because of strait which IS NOT OPENED, there is an incredible amount of 13 days of kerosene left in Europe (airports just issued a warning to EU today). And other locations are in similar position. Apart of sticky oil inflation & gas which will trigger new BoJ rate hike by EoM and destroy all cuts chances, the most concerning is asia helium disruption. 75% of it was coming through hormuz and there is only 60 days of reserves. And without it a decrease in 60% Nvidia chips hardware, or even ram which because shortage will make AI pop

It won't be overnight but if France is able to demonstrate a suitable replacement that will just lead to further investment and growth. Eventually all of the EU would move to a European solution if for no reason other than security. US companies are not trusted to be aligned or even neutral with EU goals anymore.

HFB_To_You

Slightly worse. There are no oil cargo shops passing through the Strait, even during this "ceasefire". In parallel more US military presence en route (Bush aircraft carrier & strike group). Typically 20 - 30 day lag time on tankers passing from Strait to EU destination (as a geographic example). We haven't even started to feel the impact / shortages yet.

I work in tech. The problem is that the Google FUD last year was mostly untrue. Microsoft does have problems. Azure really does suck and is a total joke among security people for repeatedly having major disaster security problems. Everyone hates Windows 11. Locking out EU lawyers cloud accounts at the request of the USA may not have been a smart move either. But my favorite top Microsoft story of the last couple of years just happened last year and wasn't really a hot topic. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/microsoft-stop-using-engineers-china-tech-support-us-military-hegseth-orders-2025-07-18/ This is treason. Literally textbook treason. Like executions. This was is a major major extreme scandal, but we have Trump so it's a mild yawn.
