He also accused the European Commission of “protectionism” and an “anti-American” attitude.
I wonder where this anti-american attitude is coming from? 🤔🤔🤔

- Honestly. The choice is China or China. It's not like US manufacturing uses parts made in America.

carr does know that the "easy button" the EU is about to press was made in china, right?

- It's a centuries old tradition.

Vance just told Europe to stop being vassals of the US.
- Vance talking sense, what a bizarre experience

Elon's starlink ratfuckery in Ukraine should make that the easiest choice ever made. If you displease him he turns off the internet at a whim.
