| Where I'm pretty sure that the definition of "successful" that you have in mind is one given by America itself. |

| That is partly attributed to being by far the largest single market for much of the 20th century - European countries have at most ~30% of the population - and being the only major economy not destroyed by the end of WWII, which resulted in the US producing half of world GDP at the time. US businesses have had a much larger market to sell to, and that attracts investment and talent. |

| A young country that inherited old values, cultural norms, traditions and ethos. It’s not like the US rose in a vacuum.

| ▲ | piva00 3 days ago | parent [-] | | ASML is responsible for all the engineering side of the research from EUV LLC, painting it as "direct result from DoD research" as to minimise the achievement is way backhanded. Without ASML the whole EUV LLC research would be dead in the water, it's a symbiotic relationship, and the amount of engineering R&D that ASML had to do to actually deploy the technology shouldn't be understated like that. I don't think ASML was "funded" by American technology, it's actually ASML who has to pay for licencing... |
