This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government
The US Department of Energy (DOE), which supervises US energy policy and duties relating to nuclear power research and development and military nuclear weapon programs, has classified South Korea as a “sensitive country” and established regulatory measures in line with this, the Hankyoreh confirmed in an investigation on Sunday.
Classification as a sensitive country means that exchange and cooperation in connection with US advanced technology areas such as nuclear power and artificial intelligence (AI) are heavily restricted. This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government.
So the US wants to become dead last in technology by allowing monopolies that have no reason to innovate and blocking any cooperation with nations who spend money on innovation and tech.
Good luck in the future, it’s like Obama said about shortsightedness.
48.8% of us understand the damage that is being done and oppose it but are powerless to stop it because 49.8% of us are too dumb to know what is real and what is fake on the internet…
Plus our elected Democrats in Congress are cooperating with this bullshit for some reason.
Also, Korean EVs meet US safety standards and have a Tesla-killing build quality and price.
This actually makes sense.
Donald Trump is on the same side as Vladimir Putin, who is friends with Kim Jong Un.
Therefore, the enemies of North Korea are enemies of Donald Trump.
That’s the only way any of trumps foreign policy makes sense.
Our allies are being un allied before our eyes… At the end of the term, us will have no allies left
There will be no end of the term. Fascism doesn’t just step aside when it’s term ends.
They are bahving like it and Democrats are letting them do it too… As if they are on the same team
Hmm
No peaceful end of term, maybe. They might have to find out January 6th doesn’t just come once, and it doesn’t always have to be at the Capitol.
Seems like the US and China will be good allies, judging by how things are going.
Is it because their coup failed to take while the US is meekly capitulating to the stupids?
Trump felt nervous that South Korea showed a way to force down a terrible president.
That and if you remember he’s been on calls with Putin for the last few weeks. Putin hired North Koreans to help invade Ukraine. NK and Russia were worried South Korea might assist in defending Ukraine. So naturally. Trump has to start scrutinizing Korea more
I remember reading that the NK troops were so poorly trained and so malnourished that most immediately died at the front lines, and the remaining few were moved away from the front to logistics support roles (unloading boxes of cabbages from trucks) because they were worthless.
There goes another ally we could possibly lose because of this idiot.
It’s obviously purposely done for that reason.
I assume this is because the current administration can’t tell the Koreas apart on the map.
No, this administration just prefers the northern one.
Yep. Donnie wants to curry favour with his old buddy Kim Jong Un.
He needs there to be at least one world leader whose clothing and hairstyle are as clownish as his own.
I can see Trump going full fanboy on North Korea next. And punishing South Korea for no reason but to please Putin
And punishing South Korea for no reason but to please Putin
It’ll also please Musk. Hyundai and Kia EVs make Teslas look like the shoddy trash they are.
Looks like Trump is sparking off a huge wave of nuclear proliferation. South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Ukraine, and Poland all looking like they might proliferate. DoE can’t reverse the damage Trump already did.
Analysts read the decision as the US government sending a stern warning to counter the calls for independent nuclear armament that have recently been surfacing in South Korea.
Here’s the real reason.
This makes no sense. Aren’t there like a billion us millitary bases there.
What
This is just so, so dumb.
Does anyone know what other nations fall into this “sensitive” classification?
Edit: I did some googling myself and here’s the list below. (The short version is: Russia and their allies, China and their allies, and broadly the middle east. Weirdly, also Taiwan)
-
Algeria -
Armenia -
Azerbajan -
Belarus -
China (PRC) -
Cuba -
Georgia -
Hong Kong -
India -
Iran -
Iraq -
Israel -
Kazakhstan -
Korea (North) -
Kyrgyzstan -
Libya -
Macau -
Moldova -
Pakistan -
Russia -
Sudan -
Syria -
Taiwan -
Tajikistan -
Turkmenistan -
Ukraine -
Uzbekistan
I realize that’s a long list, I don’t know, should I put that in a or code block or spoiler tag?
Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.
