In memory of My Grandfather, who passed away some forty years ago, used to sing:

Hey diddle diddle
the cat n the fiddle

the cow jumped
over the moon

the little dog laughed
to see such sport

and the dish ran
away with the spoon

When the Arab consortium bought into AMD's business, some were able to conclude an unpatriotic act had occurred.

The patriot wrapped in the flag can reach any conclusion, ... just never mind the fact that the smaller sibling (AMD) using 10% of the resources, able to deliver a superior product is none the less marked for failure having the rug jerked by a bully. That little fact (moon) is easily jumped with a flourish by those cowed by the fiddling Cat (Intel), diddle diddle.

Others laugh, in disbelief, at the naked emperor.

The dish and spoon odd couple; AMD spurned, gladly accepts the extended hand from those (Abudabi's) with a clearer perspective.

They see, AMD is a sweet dish compared to Intel. Intel, able to deliver 1.1x performance (most of the time) with only 10x resources, some bribes and just a little arm twisting.
YMMV

No-one is forcing Intel to sell their products in Europe, if you and they don't like the rules, boycott the market, and save all our ears from your loser whining ;-).
