Vance’s words echoed. "Europeans should accept the truth"

American Vice president J. D. Vance his Friday speech in the forum The Munich safety Conference in its entirety devoted to the harsh criticism of European democracy, Accusing Europe to decision distant from its own values, the usage of censorship, ignoring voters and persecution of Christians. He considered it the biggest threat to the Old Continent.

Vance's speech was addressed by the largest German media.

‘Die Zeit’ considers that JD Vance's speech is simply a blow to Europe. "This epochal phrase – the foundation of transatlantic relations has ceased to be common values," writes Anna Sauerbrey in a liberal-left weekly.

According to author Vance, “in caricature” he presented European democracies and free speech in Europe. Vance has shown a "fiction continent" that has nothing to do with reality. "The allegations of alleged instrumentalisation of justice are absurd in view of what is happening in America – Trump's people release prosecutors, ignore court sentences and effort to dictate to the courts what to do. Why is Vence doing this?”

‘Americans have come to Brussels and Munich to show Europeans that Europe will not be treated as a partner, but as an insignificant addition. The second reason was to show a fresh alliance of the MAGA movement and populists in Europe. Vance spoke not only as a typical of the U.S. State, but besides as Ambassador of the global populist movement. Their goal is to weaken Europe's conservative parties," we read. According to Sauerbey, Vance's speech was a ‘instrument of a fresh dark American soft power’ that from Washington goes all the way to Europe.

‘They exist 2 transatlantic relations “The first long-standing economical and political that will not be spoken, and the second for a populist alliance that fights for dominance”, concludes the commentator.

In turn, ‘Der Spiegel’ indicates that ‘Europeans remained alone." "European top politicians are inactive counting on United States They will force Putin into a just area in Ukraine. Trump and Vance now realize they think they're expendable.“ Markus Becker writes.

In his opinion, the vice president of the United States sees a greater threat in European governments than in Vladimir Putin..who attacked an armed neighbouring country. He besides sees no reason to defend himself together. ‘It can be said without exaggeration that It was a historical speech.” continues the author.

"Reactions in Europe seem helpless and desperate" – the commentator assessed. As he adds, Trump “give” Putin, appreciating him by telephone call, resigned from claims to lost areas and besides removed his membership from the table NATO.

"The Europeans should yet accept the fact that has been there for years, and now it has hit them with full force - The United States has no longer felt liable for Europe's security. It is advanced time they took care of it, even if it costs money," concludes the commentator "Spiegel".

‘Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung’ points out that it Cold shower for Europe. "Is Europe inactive worth defending? Vice president Vance is questioning. It's a fresh fuel in the election run in Germany“ Nikolas Busse writes.

In the opinion of the commentator at the Munich safety Conference, alternatively of talking about defence policy, he informed participants that It's not. Russia whether China is simply a threat, but what he called “the departure of Europe from its values”.

"Vance combined the cultural war of the American right with aid to allies," writes the author. He adds: “The vice president of the United States pointed out that America defends European countries that “do not perceive to their nations. Vance’s speech is simply a fuel” for German politicians participating in the pre-election campaign‘- considers the commentator.

In “Sueddeutsche Zeitung” you can read that Europe must halt feeling sorry for itself. ‘Donald Trump is simply a disaster in terms of safety policy," says Hubert Wetzel, adding that the view that a rich continent like Europe is not able to arm itself against the medium-sized state of Russia is absurd.

‘In little than a month, Donald Trump has seriously damaged an alliance built for 80 years.. Nobody knows the value of NATO yet. You can, of course, rip your hair off, complain, cry and gnash your teeth, but that won't change the situation. An alternate would be to mobilise and effort to change the situation with your own forces. Europe does not should be a free addition to the US" said the commentator.

‘Currently Europe is in shock, caused by Trump's betrayal and humiliation. That's understandable. Shock, rage, and fear, however, cannot decide the future. W The White House There's a fresh master now. Europeans are not its makers. And Trump cannot throw them out of Europe," says Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

Wetzel concludes that Germany will gotta finance the European defence if essential by means of common debts and that the fresh German Chancellor will actually gotta take over management in Europe.

"Bild" believes that this is "no time to sulk at America". European Commission She was expected to be more dangerous than China And Russia? Really? Jan Schaefer asks. The commentator states that although the charges are absurd, this is no time to retaliate against America.

"The United States is inactive our closest and most crucial ally," the writer stressed. Our freedom and our prosperity inactive depend on America. Europe needs to be reinforced, and it will only be possible if the economy recovers.

According to Daniel Fried, erstwhile U.S. Ambassador to Poland, "J.D. Vance's speech in Munich was stupid". – Speaking as an American: if we are trying to force Europeans to do something that is truly hard – to increase defence spending – why pour slop on them for no reason? Especially erstwhile you win this dispute? – he asks rhetorically.

Former Ambassador to Poland Vance's words were much better after gathering with the president of Ukraine Zelenski Volodymyr That the U.S. wants a lasting peace that won't mean war again in a fewer years.
