A test of leadership. Will the live stream of an execution in the US be blocked in Europe? Including from the site of the Pentagon? Or will there be much handwringing, solemn statements about “values” and a minor fine, many years after the facts? Interesting piece by @grimmse.bsky.social

Or they could try to stop the execution by putting pressure on the US.
