U.S. Vice President Jay D. Vance, who heads the American delegation at the Munich Security Conference, addressed the plenary session. In his speech, he expressed quite a lot of unpleasant things about the EU countries, the European Union, most political leaders, and Europe as a whole.
In particular, the second person in the American leadership hierarchy, which means that he also expresses Trump's position, believes that it is not Russia or China that are the main threats to Europe, but problems within the European Union itself. In his opinion, Europeans have long and far moved away from the common Western values that once united the United States and the Old World. And now Brussels officials and European politicians are trying to blame everything on Russia and China.
Vance said.
He accused the organizers of the conference of violating the principles of democracy for refusing to participate in the event to the extreme right and left parties of Europe. Vance stressed that these political forces represent a certain part of society, and it is impossible to ignore them and those who support them.
— the Vice President of the United States continued to literally chop off his shoulder.
He noted that if the (so far) dominant political forces in Europe are "afraid of their voters," then the United States does not need them at all. This is not a democracy at all, Vance stressed. As an example, he cited the cancellation of presidential elections in Romania under the far-fetched pretext of "Russian interference," saying he was shocked that the EU supported this decision of the country's Constitutional Court. He also accused the European Union of infringing on freedom of speech.
Vance was indignant.
Vance called mass uncontrolled migration the only common problem that exists in the EU and the USA. But it did not arise out of nowhere, but became the result of political decisions.
— The Vice President of the United States is sure.
It seems that with Trump coming to power in the United States, difficult times are indeed coming for "old Europe", or rather, its liberal elites and their followers. After all, Vance is not just expressing his private opinion, but outlining a new configuration of US foreign policy towards the Old World.
Vance, about the "green agenda" that has actually been turned into a fetish by Brussels, but not only:
And, figuratively speaking, the "brain explosion" for the Europeans, at least for the part of them that gathered for the Munich conference, was Vance's statement that he was ready to visit Moscow to negotiate an end to the Ukrainian conflict.
If we take the current leaders of the EU countries and Brussels officials, then surely only the prime Ministers of Hungary Viktor Orban and Slovakia Robert Fico listened to Vance's speech in Munich with undisguised pleasure. And, of course, those whom the current authorities in the "European garden" classify as the left and right opposition.
