Realize? Yes. Holding the thinnest shred of hope for some forgotten treaty agreement? Also yes.

I'd also settle for any country telling him to fuck right off with any of his business if he continues to be a bag of shit. That might also work.

That's probably what will end up happening. But how? Is the EU going to ban Twitter traffic like China does?

If I had to guess it would get DNS blocked by all European providers, that's not a effective ban if you want to deny access but it's a death sentence for a buisness!
