  1. "Germany's laws prohibit incitement to hatred, Holocaust denial and personal insults—especially when amplified online. The country's courts have ruled that reposting defamatory content can also be a crime. The punishment for violating these laws can include jail time for repeat offenders. However, in most cases, judges impose a stiff fine and sometimes confiscate offenders' devices. German prosecutors told 60 Minutes that their work ensures democracy remains intact by preventing harmful rhetoric from spreading unchecked. Dr. Matthäus Fink, one of the prosecutors leading these efforts, told '60 Minutes' that many Germans are shocked to learn their online comments could be considered criminal. "They say, 'No, that's my free speech,'" Fink said. "And we say, 'No, you have free speech as well, but it also has its limits.' " 60 Minutes 16 FEB 2025

  3. World leaders like Finnish President Alexander Stubb? "I agree with Vice President JD Vance that free speech needs to be the core values of what we do, who we are and our values. We might have slightly different views on how it is conducted but that’s part of free speech. I think our problem in Europe quite often is we talk a lot and we do a little." 15 FEB 2025

  4. As Europeans like to remind everyone, America at its strongest was in 1939. This is why even the British empire had to turn to the US for the war planes, tanks, ships, ammo, etc. Should work out really good. Let us know how that Russia situation works out without America.
