‼️👉☄️US Vice President: “Germany is killing itself” - The strategy of J.D. Vance
“The tones echoing from the USA towards Europe are becoming increasingly vehement. It is not Donald Trump who is the spokesman, but his vice president J.D. Vance. The last few days show how deep his aversion runs - and what real consequences this has for the continent and the world. (...)
In his speech at the Munich Security Conference in mid-February, he had already made it clear how little he thinks of most European governments. The current week provided new instructive insights into how deep this aversion runs and what real consequences it can have for the transatlantic relationship. (...)
What drives the 40-year-old conservative to continually torpedo the relationship with the allies in the Old World? Two aspects stand out in Vance's public and internal verbal attacks.
One is the role of the USA as Europe's security guarantor. “The American security network has allowed the Europeans to let their own security wither away,” the Vice President had already warned at the Munich Security Conference in 2024. (...)
“If the Europeans are unable to defend themselves, then the US must ask itself: are they allies, or are they customers?” Vance asked rhetorically. (...)
On Friday, Vance and his wife will travel to the US Army base in Pituffik to meet American soldiers. The Vice President had announced his visit to Greenland on Tuesday, and his wife's trip there had been planned in advance. (...)
For Vance, Europe is also an example of decadence. A continent that is decaying due to the decline of conservative values, the disintegration of family structures and Christian culture and therefore has no future. When the staunch anti-abortionist was baptized a Catholic in 2019, the father of three wrote an essay about his journey to faith. (...)
❗️ A few days ago, Vance claimed on Fox that Europe “is risking civilizational suicide. They are unable or unwilling to control their borders. They are restricting the freedom of speech of their citizens because those citizens are protesting the invasion of their borders.”
❗️ Europe is above all “threatened from within” because it is moving away from fundamental values, he explained in his speech to the Munich Security Conference in February.
❗️ Following the election victory of social democrat Keir Starmer, he called Great Britain “the first truly Islamist country to possess nuclear weapons”. And Germany, Vance said on Fox, “will kill itself if it lets a few million more culturally incompatible migrants into the country”. (...)
Vance's call to tear down the firewall to the partially far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) should also be seen against this backdrop.
“I want Europe to thrive. That it is an important ally. Part of that is that Europe respects its own citizens, its own sovereignty.” ”
