Seems fair, tier 2’s are necessary to stop countries from working as mules to tier 3’s.

Portugal + central and east Europe on tier 2? Is he ok?

It’s the EU’s fault really. As long as we don’t work as a bloc, we won’t be treated as one.
We should be negotiating with the U.S as a bloc. Everything is either applied to all of the EU or not at all. The same with visas, the same with taxes.
Either we’re a union, or we aren’t. Allowing them to treat some of us as third world and others not is just overall bad for everyone in the EU.

Every time I see this iron curtain mentality still hold in western minds my hope for any sort of hypothetical NATO support suffers a bit.

In Romania we barely got into the visa waiver program this year after decades of being “strategic partners” of the US. They will continue to treat as as second tier country, no surprise. Not sure about the rest of the Tier 2 countries of Europe.

China entered the chat. Bulgarian here wondering why we have two US military bases here?!

At this point it’s weird they didn’t divide Germany

Why Poland? Isn’t it one of USA greatest allies and strongly anti-russia and anti-china?

The EU is really missing any AI hardware company, even startups with niche products, to have any influence here.
On the other end the EU is also missing any large AI software company so it’s not like it actually matters that companies can’t buy 100k GPUs.

Given the world.leader in microchip printing tech is still Dutch, this would be an interesting approach…

probably good for the rest of the world in the long run; this is how you get other nations to develop it natively instead of buying american

I really wonder why Greenland and Iceland are yellow, Greenland should at the very least be the same colour as Denmark, and Iceland is basically just like the other nordic nations.

Funny how Greenland is tier 2 while Denmark is tier 1.

That’s where the real NATO is. And Putin will see it.

Yemen at same level as Poland or Portugal. OK….

This list is silly. I know for a fact that Intel has fabs in Israel, and some of the more advanced chip designs for Nvidia/mellanox/Intel were designed in Israel which by the map is tier 2.
Take this map with a grain of salt.

All the more reason for Europe to build its own chip foundries. Europe makes the equipment that goes into them after all.

Right when we were finally accepted for US Visa and Schengen.

Denmark blue, Greenland yellow? xD

We would be mad at Slovakia, only that we wouldn’t know what to do with AI chip anyway

Why is Portugal, switzerland, luxembourg and Iceland tier 2? Lol

Reasonably sure that map is inaccurate to what’s been reported elsewhere
