I was somewhat dissapointed at the perspective :-) seeing the article was from morningstar.com, I was expecting a radical left wing critique of EU and US tech policy.

[The "Morning Star" is a left wing UK paper, whose editorial stance is in line with the Communist Party of Great Britain (morningstaronline.co.uk)]

Interesting article though.

I don't know if your wrong or right about "The Morning Star" but Morningstar.com is a financial firm specialized in research and recommendations. They have a lot's of influence relative to their relatively small holdings.

> Europe is hitting the kills witch

Everything about this site, right from the get go, screams useless amateur (average person on reddit level of writing).

There doesn't seem to be anything new in this news article either, we've all already read about EU sovereignty pushes (and as a German, I also regard it as essential). So until there's actual credible coverage of some actual "kill switch" I'll hold judgement.

Yeah, it's an investment company(only $3.5b in assets) with the writing having the expected narrow focus of that industry.

Morningstar is a heavyweight in the investment/finance world.

Based on Trumps choice of fed reserve chair, ive moved everything away from USD.

KILL switches are the only thing the oligarchy will care for.

I can't help but feel that this sort of reinforces the suspicions a lot of Americans - on both sides of the aisle, mind - have felt towards Europe since, idk, maybe the Chicken Tax era, one of an alliance of convenience.

We've seen what the continent will put up with.

Europe is diversifying its tech dependence on the US and ensuring strategic resilience inside its own legal and commercial domain.

> The nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed has taken the sails out of the idea that the U.S. dollar would sink.

Why?

Presumably he is regarded as more sensible than some other candidates that might have appealed to the President.

What the hell is with the text? Every. Line. Is. Its. Own. Paragraph.

This feels like an LLM generated listicle designed to be digested and summarized by an LLM on the other end.
