    EU is slowly replacing the role of NATO, as the entity that does so much finger waging and then roll over.

    Stop with the warnings and just push for fines or blocks.

      Weird take, what’s your beef? They most certainly do slap on huge fines, and are much more aggressive about enforcing privacy requirements than the US/etal.

      This is kinda like cursing the worlds fastest sprinter for just not running fast enough.

      Ukraine is proof that NATO isn’t pointless. Zero chance Ukraine would’ve been invaded had they been part of NATO.

      And the EU issues loads of fines lmao. I’m struggling to think of anywhere else more happy to issue fines to large entities.
