BREAKING: US VP just launched an extraordinary attack on Europe.
“The threat that I worry most about, vis-a-vis Europe, is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor.
“What I worry about is the threat from within: the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.”
“The threat that I worry most about, vis-a-vis Europe, is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor.

Comments
It may be the most alarming speech ever given by a US official, let alone a Vice President, to a European audience.
In the space of a week, the US has gone ally to hostile nation.
He gloated about Brexit & said Russian interference in Romania was its own fault:
“If your democracy can be destroyed by a few…dollars of digital advertising, it wasn’t very strong to begin with.”
Vance’s speech was pure Cold War rhetoric. Sadly, however, it was the type that would have Politburo members standing and clapping
I really feek for the US citizen who did not vote for them and, still, will be severely impacted. God save America!
I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible*
They see democracy as a "threat from within".

When this is all over, and it will be, the US needs to seriously consider investing in its education system so nazis don’t come back a third time.

Europe knows its history, and they've learned from it with protections codified, as America becomes increasingly irrelevant.

He doesn't like the idea that using hate speech might come with responsibilities and liabilities.
The kind of free speech where you STFU if your Tesla has defective brakes and causes you to crash.
Else you will be sued by Tesla.

On a day when America celebrates its independence from tyranny, Republicans broke with precedent to meet with a tyrannical regime that tried to undermine American democracy.

Europe *needs* to prepare for a 4 year future without the U.S. in a leadership position because, quite clearly, Russia has used a lot of resources to get these clowns elected and here they are.
The USA has proved it has NO values over the last few days.
Whatever they say, it's a self-indictment.
They draw attention away by lying and saying that the other is doing what they themselves are actually doing.
May be JD should consider what the value "mass deportation" means in Europe and groom the other side of the Atlantic between the desired "Gulf of America* and "51th state"
Wjt zn idiot
Put Russian assets in White House.
Come at us from both sides.
Pointing fingers on the US while not staying vigilant ourselves could end badly.
We’re gonna need proportional representation in the UK soon.

We aren’t great over here in Europe but we’re better than that.
Almost all will have bleated on about "sovereignty" before and since Brexit. All out of the window now, as many will prostrate themselves before Trump/Musk/Putin.
Because even the most neonazis europeans are now wondering if the US government is not going too far too fast !!!!!
"Europe retreating from fondamental values shared with America"? Is he talking about Musk trying to replicate in Europe the loss of values of democracy that Trump has instilled in the US? 😒😢
That would be hilarious if it was not scary...
