This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.

Welcome to Europe, researchers!
Lots of great choices and don't worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!
Denmark is home away from home. Love it there. It is my most stamped country. :)
I would Invite them to Germany, but our research policies suck massive balls, sooo: Go to France or Denmark!
wait you dont actually need to know French or Danish? How's the local perception of English speaking foreigners, i.e. is it offensive to respond in English if the waiters/locals ask in French?
Tbh the language barrier is 1 of the reasons holding me back. Havent tried for positions in France and Denmark yet, but for the ones I looked in Germany and Spain, you need to know German or Spanish. Even the job ads are in German/Spanish...
If you're in Denmark and speak English to anyone, nobody bats an eye. You're welcome.

Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.
This is something I think a lot of people don’t realize; It’s a cascading failure. It’s not just that some competent people will leave the country. The rest of their teams will have to bear the extra burden and be demoralized. They will then feel compelled to leave as well.
It’s happened numerous times in both the public and private sectors. Now they’re deliberately trying to do this shit on a national scale. If we ever recover from this, it’s going to take decades…
Making everywhere else, great again.
The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.
I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.
remember germany, they wouldve develop thier own atomic weapons if wernt the persecution of the jewish and asian scientists. same thing happen in the cold war, persecution of"communism" caused some chinese scientist to flee, and resulted in the CCP gaining access to hydrogen bombs from fission bombs much quicker than any other country.
The times, they are a'changing
Death to IMPERIALISM
Death to CAPITALISM
Death to FASCISM
Death to MAGA
As non-american I'm becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.
Since Trump is Putin's puppet, that makes sense.
Yeah pretty much, Trump had ties to the Russian mob. Beyond that, they probably poured money into the MAGA movement for God knows how many senators. Putin won. Well played really.
putin have pouring into the gop for a long time, and almost all the right wing governments elsewhere, why do you think the sudden rise of right wing govt all at once, plus they also fund alt-right groups like racial supremcy groups. isreal is similar, just by the USA (which is the most right wing western country even before trump)

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Turning the US into Russia 2.0
America is still slightly ahead of Russia there, due to the legacy of the USSR. Not that Russia's billionaires aren't doing their best to privatize education and keep it out of reach of the peasantry since the fall of communism.

As an outsider, I honestly and sincerely invite anyone to explain how any of what’s going on in the US today isn’t as American as apple pie and school shootings?

Europe will welcome them with open arms.
People starts to realize that having a higher wage in the US doesn't translate into a better quality of life.

Stupid people are easier to rule and fool.
Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.
