Elon Musk appears to back US withdrawing from NATO, the UN
2025-03-03
He’s a technician, not a politician or statesman. Both or either may be the right answer, but this is not his area of expertise, and we’ve seen him draw the wrong conclusions based on faulty assumptions and shallow thinking before.
[NYPOST] Tech baron Elon Musk backed calls for the US to withdraw from NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
 and the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
 after months of badmouthing the two international organizations.

''I agree,'' Musk, 53, wrote on X in reply late Saturday to MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman's suggestion that ''It's time to leave NATO and the UN.''

Musk did not elaborate on the specifics of why he wants the US to pull out of NATO and the UN, but the suggestion came after several social media users pointed to Sen. Mike Lee's (R-Utah) call to pull out of both.

Last month, Lee, 53, who has drawn frequent reposts and interactions from Musk on X, introduced legislation alongside other politicians to pull out of the UN and decried it as ''a platform for tyrants and a venue to attack America and her allies.''

On Saturday, Lee publicly suggested that the US pull out of NATO, pointing to Norwegian fuel supplier Haltbakk Bunkers' announcement that it would stop helping the US Navy refuel in protest of President Trump's confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
Fortunately, the Norwegian government today overruled the Norwegian fuel supplier, so that won’t be an issue after all.

#4  They obviously cannot help themselves. That entire Euro mess is cancer. Steer clear of it and it's obvious entanglements.

#3  I’d like to visit the Azores or Tehran if either were liberated.

Maybe the Kerguelen Islands would be better.

Better still: one of those remote airbases in Libya out in the Sahara, near where the Lady B Good went down…

Given the UN lately...
Relocation to the AZORES or Tehran might be better suited for it.

#1  That's, IMO, something that should be on the table. Maybe, the threat will get to the (totally insane, IMO) Globalists ruling EUrope/Britain.
