Netherlands Thread

[expectation]

A couple things to update & retro clarify. Its all related to Trump Tariff and I personally suggest to move these back to these thread to make the conversation more coherent and I expect other nations to get involved.

1) The US Commerce Department increased # of entities subject to export restrictions on September 29th (a day before the Golden Week Holiday for China)

2) ...coming back from the Golden Week and in response to #1 - China had responded with the REE Controls late last week as discussed on the Tariff Thread.

3) Using #1, the Dutch Govt nationalizes Nexperia after the REE Controls.

4) Now, China had banned Nexperia from exporting products made in China. A significant portion of Nexperia's assets are located in China & Hong Kong.

Dutch Court docs confirms US involvement

WTH?

This is further proof that voting doesn’t work—and when it does, it often makes things worse.

This raises an important question: is the government or the country at fault for allowing such buffoons to form a government, or are the people themselves to blame for electing them?

Either way, this kind of situation would never have happened in so-called “authoritarian” countries like Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea.

Another concerning issue is why Willem-Alexander allowed his own country to fell apart under a defective autopilot. He should have intervened—at least indirectly—by using the military to stage a coup and remove the losers in government. Thailand has experienced multiple coups, and many prime ministers have been deposed, so nothing is truly impossible.​
