    “Europe is planning”, not a company, not a national agency nor an EU agency, but the whole of Europe? How does that work? I mean we’re pretty much at war, but Russia and Belarus is in on it? How much are Andorra, Monaco, and The Sovereign Order of St. John contributing? What about Overseas France? Do all 13 territories kick in, or is it only the ones that are part of the EU?

    Also isn’t a new super computer record set several times each year?

      Dude, do you think every time something happens in the US, that all states are in on it?

      “The US plans to be the biggest exporter of silicon in 2030”. Do you read that the same way?

          The US is 50 countries in a trenchcoat really, some of which would go to war with eachother outside the coat.

            Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There’s no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.

              There’s no one part that covers all of it,

              So the EU parliament isn’t a thing then?

                  A pedantic point. Europe has become a synonym for EU in journalism.

                  It’s an EU strategy.
