> US and could get DeepSeek banned in western countries for copyright
If US is going to proceed with trade war on EU, as it was planning anyway, then DeepSeek will be banned only in US. Seems like term "western countries" is slowly eroding.
Great point. Plus, the revival of serious talk of the Monroe Doctrine (!!!) in the U.S. government lends a possibly completely-new meaning to "western countries" -- i.e. the Americas...
Trump has already managed to completely destroy the US reputation within basically the entire continent¹. And he seems intent on creating a commercial war against all the countries here too.
1 - Do not capture and torture random people on the street if you want to maintain some goodwill. Even if you have reasons to capture them.
Yeah... I don't think goodwill was ever a very central part of the Monroe doctrine. Its imperial expansionism, plain n' simple. Embargo + pressure who you can, depose any governments that resist, threaten the rest into silent compliance.
