Not that they haven't already, but can they make their MO any more obvious?

WTF! Our European leaders need to know they're fucked if they bend to that type of bullshit.
No, you don't get it. This is tactical EU appeasing to the Orange to buy time and then we'll get independent, take that Orange!!!! /s
But really I feel horrible, I had a feeling that EU was like at least 1% more independent.
We need much more accountability in the EU.
What possible benefit is there to kowtowing to Trump?
I do appreciate that they did an incredibly poor job of hastily 'removing' the countries from the displayed poster.
I can't believe every leader in the world is such a weak ass bitch!
The US is a lynchpin of global finance and trade. And a lot of EU member states are already heavily compromised with Trump-aligned officials.
Add to that... the EU isn't really against disinformation. It's against information hostile to the confederation's mission and goals. The EU leadership is nakedly hostile to pro-Russian propaganda, but significantly more accommodating to pro-Israel propaganda, for instance.
None of the countries in the rest of the world win anything by just pissing up the orange plague and exposing themselves to more retaliation
As I see it, most countries are moving fast to wean off the USA and then we can tell them to fuck right off
Getting hurt just for looks or clicks is what stupid people do
Trump administration once again showing a total lack of self-awareness or basic nous. As though they think doing this will remove all suspicion from them, and not make them look totally guilty.
Lithuania supposedly found a panel framing the US as a foreign information threat “reprehensible and surprising”
The truth often is to demagogue scumbags 🤬
That panel – called “USA as a FIMI threat: adapt, acknowledge, push back”, with the acronym FIMI referring to “foreign information manipulation and interference” – took place on Wednesday. It explored how Europe’s disinformation community could rebuild resilience without Washington
Could? Fucking HAS to!
and is the first time the conference appears to have entertained the idea that the US could be a disinformation actor in Europe.
That's a dereliction of duty so immense that the Trump kakistocracy probably has absolutely nothing to fear from these timid fuckers regardless of who sponsors the conference 😮💨
Despite withdrawing its branding as an official supporter, the EU continues to fund the conference.
In statements, Lithuania, Canada and the EU said the program of the conference did not align with their official views on the US role in disinformation

Canada's withdrawal comes the same week the Globe and Mail reported that some people involved in campaigning for Alberta independence had met on both sides of the border with U.S. entities.
GAC's move also comes as the country is embroiled in an often bitter and personal trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

They've come a long way to break that glass floor and build a crawlspace under their all-time low, baby.

All Republicans can eat the barrel of their second amendment rights and squeeze things
