They really shot themselves in the foot didn't they

Yeah, Von Der Leyen is even more enthusiastic and driven in the points Eastern Europe didn't want Timmermans for, which is a bit of irony?

That’s right. Stick to your own country’s affairs. Much better meme. I even upvoted it.

Like the U.S. never sticks their nose in other country's affairs....

Well, we are the superpower

!!! PURE ARROGANCE IN ITS MOST TERRIBLE FORM ALERT !!!

And superpower or not, if you stick your nose in other people's business, they will stick theirs in yours. It's as simple as that. And if you don't like that, well, then maybe you shouldn't wanna be so arrogant to call yourself a "superpower". Capiche? After all as the U.S. tries to be "boss of the world" the U.S. affairs are also the affairs of all other nations. I would almost plead for the right to vote for the U.S. President for every world civilian. Hey, if you wanna boss the rest of the world around, you gotta face with the consequences.

Threatening like that will not impress me, and the fact that you need to do that shows how miserable you really are!

I quote: "No, you don’t tell us what to do EVER. We could blow you off the face of the earth if we wanted to. Remember that. We RULE!"

People have been thrown into jail due to death threats for quotes that were less direct and unambiguous.

A wise person once said: Haughtiness leads to your downfall.

Indeed, what I said is the truth. Thanks for confirming that one, but that will get you nowhere.

I almost forgot:
"Besides, I wouldn’t want to see you blown you off the face of the earth."

That too is a death threat!

It's not that I take this site "too seriously"... Death threats are a serious crime, and trust me, that is also punishable in the U.S.A. And just because I am in an other country doesn't mean I cannot get you sued. You wouldn't be the first who was sued internationally. I do remember a man getting arrested in the Netherlands because of an accusation coming from Canada (which also involved a crime over the internet).

Now I didn't feel threatened, simply because I didn't take you seriously. I only wanted to make clear to you that the internet is NOT a safe-haven where where you can just utter what you like without consequences, and messages that can be considered a death threat can lead to consequences, and yes I've seen people get into legal trouble for that.

A lot of fools think they are save when they can hide behind a nickname and an avatar, but maybe it's time people (which includes you) realize that is not the case.

And if I took this site "too seriously" I would by the way have left it ages ago. :P

Not knowing in which country I live in, doesn't mean you can't threaten me. As long as I can understand your language, I can interpret threats. And what the president can do and can't do, I already know that. I also know what consequences he might face if he does anything stupid like that.

Something like "if I ever find you, I'll kill you!" is also a threat, and one that strongly implies not knowing where the victim is, right?

And yeah, your quotes strongly implied that if I didn't keep my big mouth shut about the U.S. I might get blown of the Earth. Considering the weapons the U.S. has at its disposal, you don't need to know where I am to do that to me, but that is not even relevant.

I don’t think you are even being serious anymore.

Get this through your head, NOBODY IS GOING TO NUKE YOU. I AM NOT GOING TO HARM YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE. I WILL NEVER USE LANGUAGE LIKE THAT AGAIN. I ADMIT MY ERROR.

"How is that a death threat???"

If you need to be told, then doing so would be a waste of time. If that is not a death threat, the question is what is? A DECENT judge would probably ask you the same question.

First of all, threatening on some somebody else's behalf is still threatening. Plus I quote "*WE* could blow you off the face of the Earth if *WE* wanted to"

WE is 1st person plural, and strictly used if you include yourself into it, so even with your misguided definition, you still threatened me. The only reason you may not be arrested if I call the cops is because they'd take you for a common idiot who talking without actually saying something and not somebody to be taken seriously. I wonder if that's a good thing.

Okay, apology accepted.... And you surprise me that you admitted your error.

I will admit when I am wrong. I was wrong there.
