An interesting viewpoint by the vice president
The United States was wrong to neuter European power and create vassal states in the 1950s through events like the Suez crisis, Vice President JD Vance has said.Read more at the article. There is a valid point here that it didn't help Europe in the long run - most definitely not today at a time when Islamofascism's become such a chilling problem everywhere there - and that the continent's democratic governments should've been encouraged to be more self-reliant. Not to mention should've been encouraged to take up law systems emulating the USA's, but it's not like FDR was ever respectable of that idea, considering how pretentious he revealed himself to be during WW2. Now, because of all those double-standards, the world's become a dangerous place and will be harder than ever to repair.
Europe and the United States are indivisible because of their shared culture and history, but Vice President Vance argued in an interview with Unherd that Europe’s relationship is best served by being more self-reliant and even resisting America’s direction of travel when bad decisions are being made.
He told the publication: “It’s not good for Europe to be the permanent security vassal of the United States”.
The Trump White House, particularly Vance, has been open about its qualms about the very real deficiencies in European defence and their position as effective American security clients.
Yet these latest remarks are noteworthy because, until now, not much has been said about how this state of affairs came to be and that it was created largely at the behest of the United States. Vance now says he recognises this as a mistake of previous and historic administrations.
