JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.
The Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio senator claimed in an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan that a top EU official had threatened to arrest the billionaire if he allowed former President Donald Trumpback on X.
“The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States,” Vance said in the interview published last week.
They’re literally going to point to anything the EU does and say “Oh! Gotta pull out of NATO now!” They’ll even make up shit that EU didn’t do (probably like this fake ass threat letter) as excuse.
They intend to get out if they can, unless they get unilateral control, in order to strengthen Russia.
At this point the EU should just fucking seize all US assets within their borders, expel the US from NATO, and ramp up military investment. Trumps presence is only a noose around the EU.
They should tell Trump that if he tries to fuck around, they’ll all immediately start trading oil in Euros. Maybe just do that anyway as a fuck you.
Well, “JD” “Vance” had better remember to always do what donvict wants him to do, otherwise, he’ll get the Pence treatment.
Because nothing says freedom, and for the common human, like threatening to leave a defense pact over a private corporation. Fuck these guys to the fucken core. I am fucken over corporations having such power. I’m about willing to send us back to the stone age just to wipe their wealth. Fuck it. We can all go down if you want to be an eternal cunt to the rest of humanity.
Dumb and dumber want to take on EU regulatory entities?
Threatening Europe so the apartheid inheritance child can get richer. The new lows from the new government start now!
DO IT!
Just look at the TPP. The US tried to write the rules and the rest of the partners said, “No.” The US said, “Screw you guys, we’re going home!” and stormed off in a snit assuming the deal would fall apart without them but it didn’t and it ended up being better without the US imperialist bullshit. Then, US farmers realized that they were getting fucked because the US wasn’t part of the deal ([1], [2], [3]) and the US came back demanding to be let in and the US imperialist bullshit restored to the agreement. Once again the partnerd said, “No”.
Let’s let the US leave whatever they want to leave, renegotiate everything without them, then only let them return under the new terms. The world will be a much better place in the end.
EDIT: Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the TPP because the partners wouldn’t be bullied into accepting one-sided andi-competitive, anti-consumer protections for US industry and a dispute resolution process that favoured the US but that the US would ignore when it lost.
Yeah, let’s replace the world order of the last hundred years to one that’s run by Russia and China. So edgy and cool.
TF? He was obviously talking about the eu I think.
I don’t know I suppose I misread.
Oh god. I was so focused on Trump I forgot this dimwit came with him as a package deal.
Vance is smart. He says stupid shit for consumption by stupid people but don’t ever turn your back on him.
I think it’s time for Europe to pay back the US by invading the US to kill fascists.
The 3rd amendment shields us from housing military without our consent. But does anything prevent us from willingly housing foreign troops?
He wants Europe taking in Twitter propaganda.
Good old blackmail.
This is how you get new alliances around the world against the US. This could spiral very quickly.
Exactly what russia wants. Why they backed trump
That’s literally Donald Trump’s agenda. That’s why he fought the TPP.
Didn’t the European commission recently declare that Twitter had become too irrelevant to regulate?
