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.
The entire world is going to have Fusion power and the US will still be burning coal.
But the US has no need for fusion, all it needs is cheap coal through deregulation and prayers to god to put back the burnt coal! /s
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.
Is it because their coup failed to take while the US is meekly capitulating to the stupids?
Democracy in South Korea > Democracy in USA.
The number of countries that don’t fit on the left is decreasing every day.
Idk, have you heard of chaebols? They basically run Korea.
Just as zaibatsu run Japan.
Yeah, Japan is pretty messed up too.
Trump felt nervous that South Korea showed a way to force down a terrible president.
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.
Not that it’s really needed, but if you ever needed even more evidence that Putin is in charge of the US, this is it.
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?
