Showing Original Post only (View all)JD Vance says US could drop support for NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk's platforms [View all]
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/jd-vance-says-us-could-drop-support-for-nato-if-europe-tries-to-regulate-elon-musk-s-platforms/ar-AA1qJCXBJD 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 Trump back on X.
The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, Were 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.
Trumps running mate then suggested that US support for NATO should be used as a cudgel to get the Europeans in line.

Vance is nothing but a liar and a fan boy of billionaires like Musk and Thiel.

OP
Trump & Vance have more loyalty to Elon Musk than to nations the U.S. has considered close allies for decades

Trump wants to do destroy NATO because that will help Putin. His loyalty is to Putin, not America.

I choose NATO and the European Union over Vance, Trump, Musk and the entire GOP.

If Trump gets (s)elected, JD will be POTUS in no time flat. You can see him salivate.

No..no you can't! A single sitting president can no longer withdraw NATO support.
