From the Article:

โ€œIf you think we should do it letโ€™s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,โ€ Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that โ€œI fully share your loathing of European free-loading. Itโ€™s PATHETIC.โ€ But, he added, โ€œwe are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.โ€

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. โ€œGreen light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.โ€

Europeans should retaliate by banning American Oligarch companies. That will fuck them

This is politics and does not belong here.
Everybody here is looking for ways to boycott USA, and this is not helpful.
This is one of the REASONS we do it, but we already agree on that.

Rule 2:

This community is for discussing European products/services and news related to that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

news related to that.

but we already agree on that.

A reminder of why we do it based on the recent news seems on topic

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That's against the rules.

If this is the shit this sub degrades to, I'm definitely out!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

fine, leave. Getting tired of you in every thread.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

2 threads = every thread. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜œ

[email protected] has the exact same post, seems to be accepted on both communities

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Maybe, I don't use that.
It's clearly against the rules here, why it is allowed IDK?

By that standard we could have constant posts here about shit the Trump administration does that relates to Europe.
Diluting the content that's supposed to be the center of this sub.

This posy is in News and World News. Including an article about how one from the meeting was in Russia.
You haven't given any reason why this should be relevant, except for reinforcing a decision that was already made to come here.
Which the news do for us already every day.

If this becomes a trend, this sub will just become a political echo chamber.

But no reason for us to discuss this further, it's up to the mods.

There are a few posts about this. It's not the focus of the sub indeed.

Diluting the content thatโ€™s supposed to be the center of this sub.

I'm well aware, as I'm the main poster.

Iโ€™m well aware, as Iโ€™m the main poster.

So why do you wish to dilute this sub?

See comment above

It can happen to everyone, it's like asking for a sick leave and accidentally sending the email to the entire enterprise.

Though I think one of the two is more serious than the other and requires more attention.

Obligatory /s

Headline: Trump officials mistakenly texted war plans to reporter

Actual news: Trump officials intentionally use(d) unclassified systems to share classified information

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

So, I should add "from your personal email" to complete the analogy
