🚨 do you understand what Bill Ackman just said about Europe..
wrote an essay about how Europe is finished.. immigration destroying cities, no AI innovation, abandoned America on Iran, NATO collapsing.. the whole thing..
let me give you the part he conveniently left out..
the biggest waves of immigrants flooding into Europe came from Iraq, which America invaded in 2003.. from Libya, which NATO bombed into a failed state in 2011.. from Syria, which America destabilized through a decade of proxy wars.. from Afghanistan, which America occupied for 20 years and then abandoned the moment it got inconvenient.. America created the refugee crisis and handed Europe the bill..
then there's the "$200 billion helping Ukraine" line.. America sent weapons and loans.. Europe absorbed 8 million Ukrainian refugees, opened their borders, and rebuilt entire communities from scratch.. Ackman counted the weapons.. not the people..
and then he said Europe has "no progress or innovation in AI.."
ASML is a Dutch company.. they manufacture the only machines in the world capable of producing advanced semiconductors.. every Nvidia GPU that powers every AI model Ackman has ever invested in exists because of a European monopoly.. without ASML there is no ChatGPT, no Claude, no AI race.. Europe doesn't just participate in AI.. Europe literally controls the factory that makes AI physically possible..
and the man making this argument is the same billionaire who made $2.6 billion betting against the market during the pandemic while the rest of the world burned..
without a single Dutch company, Ackman's entire AI investment thesis collapses overnight..
but sure.. Europe isn't innovating.
Europe is on a path to destroying itself.
Unchecked immigration of millions of immigrants that burden their welfare states, bring violence and terrorism to their shores, and take over local governance, one city at a time.
Anti-capitalist policies that make it difficult for businesses to adapt their workforces to a rapidly changing competitive environment now accelerating due to AI.
A business environment and tax regime that is antithetical to startups.
The absence of any progress or innovation in AI and limited access to the compute necessary to compete.
Energy dependence due to the green movement at a moment when energy demands are rapidly increasing.
And now, the abandonment of the U.S. when we have asked for limited assistance — base access and flyover rights — in the midst of our efforts to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and ballistic threat which is already within striking range of Europe, after we have invested nearly $200 billion in helping Ukraine.
NATO is about to be toast. Europe’s defense burden is about to rise massively while their economies continue to fall further and further behind.
In short, Europe needs to wake up before it is too late, and it may very well be too late.
