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.

    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.

    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.

    Is it because their coup failed to take while the US is meekly capitulating to the stupids?
