Europe is obsessed with external threats, but is morally lost, so in an excited speech to the continental security elite on Friday, it is clear that JD Vance is even defending himself any more Not that.
Traditionally, applause is a worn-out gauge of how well the message is in the conference hall. Most of the time, the audience can at least raise their half-hearted and polite applause, but on Friday, Vance couldn't even get it. It seemed like there was no one there than Vance's own team had their hands tied together.
Vance lists particularly awful recent cases in European states where governments crack down on freedom, from arresting Christians for quiet prayers to cancel elections, and he completes the leadership of the Soviet continent. When he criticized her, it was a particularly frozen sound with a calm creampie. , anti-democratic attitude. Worst of all, he said they embraced these feelings towards their own people.
If the paternalist elites of Europe disliked this shock therapy, European populists loved it. The British Nigel Farage had made Vancer better clearer about the future of Europe than those elites, while the reform MP Rupertlow made it “brutal” after the truth, after the truth.” Tour – I called it the Force.
Beyond the laundry list of failures by the European government, to respect the freedom of their people, Vance lost the continent in his own failures by failing to understand why he corns his own opinions. I diagnosed the continent. He said: “If you run for fear of your own voters, there's nothing America can do for you, and there's nothing you can do for the Americans.”
Of the terrorist attacks that took place in Germany the day before, Vance nodded to the long and shameful history of such attacks in Europe, saying: A new direction? ”.
“Free speech is retreating in Britain and across Europe, I fear and am retreating,” the Vice President said in a rallying cry to help Europe find new respect for democracy. What they say is that, whether they agree with the paternal elite or not, they have told their leaders to respect their country more. Vance said: You can believe that it is wrong for Russia to buy social media ads to influence your election. We certainly do. It can also be criticized on the world stage. But if you can destroy your democracy by millions [of dollars] Digital advertising from overseas was not that strong in the first place. ”
But there's good news, Vance said, as democracy can be strong, unless it's bad people with bad opinions that are disregarded and ignored in their general attitude towards voters. European leaders, especially the German people, telling them that it is nine days after the national election, and not afraid of populists. He continued. Rights from participating in these conversations. ”
Given that the Munich Congress motto solves problems through dialogue, and in his most awful rhetoric, the words carefully chosen by nettle are undoubtedly the greatest of Europeans. Participating in dialogue with many will be the leader “current position.” Vance told the clever audience he hit:
Now, for many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it appears to be an old, entrenched interest hidden behind ugly Soviet-era words like misinformation and disinformation. Different opinions, or God forbids us from voting in different ways, or even worse, wins the election.
…I'm sure you're ready to come here and talk about how you intend to increase your defense spending along some new targets in the coming years…but I'll ask you too. Let me do it. The first question about budgeting is what if you don't know what we're defending in the first place?
…I've heard a lot about what you need to protect yourself, and of course that's important, but it didn't seem a bit clear to me, and certainly me Certainly, to many European citizens, that's exactly what you're protecting yourself. What is your positive vision for animating this shared security compact? And I believe that if you are afraid of the voices, opinions and consciences that guide your own people, I have deep beliefs.
British left wing Guardian Called The speech was a “fearful” attack and a “disciplinary” attack, which would work in Moscow, reviving the old idea that Donald Trump is a kind of crypto-Russian asset. Germany's Diewelt Note Comment from political party Marie Agnes Struck Zimmerman and co-polarist FDP of the governing party responded that “our liberal world is under extreme threat.”
By demonstrating Vance's intelligence as the most effective line of attack, and showing his pride towards populism, depicted by the Vice President in his speech, Strack-Zimmermann states: . There is no low flyer and the International Security Council.” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will see his liking of Struck Zimmerman and see his party being kicked out of the government in nine days.
