Even if any of these claims were true (they aren’t) how exactly does that justify the US annexing an EU territory that clearly stated it does not want anything to do with the US?

U.K. and France have nukes. Against a conventional army like the USA, that is all that matters.

Several European countries are also hosting American nukes on their soil. What happens to those in case the US starts an open war with those countries?

I am speaking German and I wouldn't call what the US is providing security, nor would I call the rampant propaganda bots free speech.

Rampant propaganda bots and consolidation of communications channels in the US is a real problem. Half the country is getting fascist cheerleading 24/7. When you can monopolize the communications channels there is effectively no free speech. Because dissenting views are priced out. Thanks to lax oversight on merging communication companies and the Citizens United decision that equates speech to money in politics, we are in the middle of it now.
