True, as much as I hate the idea of collateral damage, that's what everyone one of us has in his/her sphere of influence. If not to make a point (which I find secondary), then to start supporting our shared homeland. After all, the strongest country on our continent isn’t France, Germany, etc. It’s Europe - or at least, it could be. But only if we start acting like it.

Ok let’s just start by banning X in the EU and move on to facebook, etc. if he does not come to his senses.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 4 points 10 hours ago

move to facebook?

Ban Facebook-Apps, X, Tesla, Open AI, Apple and Microsoft.

But yeah, european politicians don't thave the backbone for it.

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That would be awesome.

Ban Tesla, too, just for fun.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Aren't Nazimobiles already banned in a lot of European countries because they don't meet their traffic safety guidelines?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 11 hours ago

The bog standard Teslas are pretty common in most of Europe.

Pretty sure the Cybertruck is barred though. Doesn't meet EU safety standards.

[–] bigmamoth@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

well they are bouild in europe and their charger became the standard in some country so no. Without saying than a lot of country will give you a 20k price reduction payed by taxpayer cause "ecology" You have no idea how thing can be so fucking dumb

"Trump will tank the US economy even more if he doesn't get what he wants." That'll punish them! What a fucking idiot.

He's punishing the countries that sent officers to scout out exercises in Greenland. He doesn't seem to realise those exercises will involve more than those countries.

[–] glasratz@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So I guess the trade deal that would have the EU buy billions worth of military good from the US is off the table then. Trump has managed to break it before it was signed.

[–] nocteb@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

The art of the deal - at this point it's more like abstract art.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Wasn’t it also a trillion in investment or something

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Bigly genius!

Quiet, Piggy!

[–] vdbm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It is the first time that the US targets a select number of EU countries, rather than the EU as a whole. This makes it highly vulnerable to court challenges and at the WTO, unless there is a declared national security emergency because of a direct threat from those target countries (of course beyond a post on TruthSocial).

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

So, to open the threat, they're going to drop the current by a third?

"I will bring down prices on day 1"
