Japan owns a lot of American debt but most of it is owned by American domestic companies.
America won't disappear, it'll just get more unstable. That's what I'm worried about with all these wars.
That said, America's economic heft (particularly shale and world reserve currency status) is a core part of America's ability to assert influence.
Yes, as I mentioned he said so himself that he wants to annex Greenland even if by military force.
Trump's threats are far more threatening than some pretty reasonable beaurocratic moves, although the threats do put the beaurocratic moves in a really unflattering context (regardless of whether it's related or not, I have no idea on that front, I don't know if the northern command is MAGA).

So I've tried out a few search engines but no matter where I look I can't find a great answer.
- Qwant was decent for a bit but as I eventually found out they don't use their own index.
- SearXNG, same as above.
- Mojeek was one of the first I went with but I often can't find what I'm looking for when using it.
- Wikipedia gives me YaCy, Exalead, Opensearch, Gigablast, and Elasticsearch but either I can't find the URL's for them or they require I install something on my computer.
What did you all end up picking? And does it even matter if the back-end is American owned, do American companies make money from that (or does that give them inordinate control)?

Mildly inconvenience myself to microscopically inconvenience American companies didn't seem worth it.
