He said he's going to work with Trump to fight against foreign countries censoring American social media companies?
Are foreign countries not allowed self-determination?

The EU chose themselves to be US vassals, to be technologically outdated and to move from GDP parity in 2008 to being half the US economy 15 years later. Every problem that we face can be traced to the technocrat idiots in Brussels.
Their GDP is bigger, so we just give up self-determination? Maybe in your country the people who fought for freedom are all dead now, not here. F all that. We are barely 2 generations free here. Not going back.
Under Trump, I believe it is already priced-in that he would do nothing to uphold his NATO obligations. That ship has already sailed in sober-minded circles.
Doesn't matter what i think. This what all of western european leaders say. Do you say that our governments would lie to us?
However, it would be cool if even more countries started to spend their NATO required GDP on defense.
We are allowed to self-determine us. But that would mean kick out X, Youtube, FB, Instagram, etc. Good luck explaining that your social media addicted relatives.
Tarifs etc, will just backfire into the revenues of the US economics.
See what happened in Brazil, and we are a 2x larger market just in population, 8x in GDP. That is the entire point of the EU. We are too big to ignore together. 345M in the US vs. 449M in the EU.
“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”
