Please I hope Wikipedia can move away from the state to a more stable country in Europe…

But it does
It can confiscate the domain name and with that, Wikipedia will be gone. People all over the world will have backups, and clones will spawn like there is no tomorrow but there is no federation, so each will do their own independent thing, fracturing mankinds knowledge even more

It depends where the domain is registered. The US can’t steal the domain from a German registrar.
And even if the domain name got stolen, they dont need to clone it. Just put it behind a new domain name. It would cause maybe 24 hours of downtime.
MediaWiki is already a global org. Even if all their US staff was arrested and the US servers seized, the rest of the team abroad would still be working.
