    Either they allow Musk to influence their elections or NATO will be disbanded.

    Honestly, NATO isn’t going to see much support in the next four years. The EU should just flip ‘em the bird and ban Xitter entirely.

    Protecting your election is more important than holding your breath for Trump’s support unless you’re Russia, Turkey, Israel, North Korea, or China.

    I wonder how our defense contractors would feel about us leaving NATO.

    No need to ban or regulate xhitter. Just abandon the platform

      As much as that sounds good, it’s such an entrenched social media that most everyone uses to the point where alternatives don’t have anywhere near enough people to convince people to leave.

      Closest we’ll probably ever see is either threads or bluesky.

    Well he also compared Trump to Hitler and called him an idiot so maybe we should take it under consideration.

      *Is President.

      Trump will be wheeled out to spew nonsense while Vance and the 2025ivers run the show.

    Is completely blocking necessarily a form of regulation? Maybe we just have a buggy switch or something, or a shark bit the twatter cable.

    Just do it, rip off the bandaid. We will just strengthen our internal ties and shift away from the US to form a stronger European continent.
