"ITER includes China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States. Members share costs and experimental results."
That's quite the wide "nationalist silos", no?
Look, I agree that more open = more better, but I think you made it sound a bit as if it's just France (implied) that's gaining from this, where it's really an international effort.
ITER isn’t “international” in any meaningful sense. It’s a bloated Frankenstein of geopolitical vanity projects, where nations bicker over scraps of influence while pretending to collaborate. Sharing costs? Sure, but they’re also sharing inefficiencies, delays, and mountains of red tape. France hosting isn’t just a coincidence—it’s a calculated power play.
Your defense of ITER as a global effort is laughable. Experimental results are locked behind bureaucratic walls, inaccessible to the very people who could accelerate progress. Fusion isn’t advancing; it’s stagnating under nationalist egos.
