JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference marked a pivotal moment, illustrating a deep ideological divide between the United States and Europe. Contrary to expectations of discussing military burdens or security threats, Vance emphasized the internal dangers facing Europe, labeling entrenched elites as the primary threat to democracy. His comments suggested support for populist movements and a departure from traditional diplomatic rhetoric, urging a cultural shift that prioritizes freedom of speech, even in the face of controversy. This speech could redefine the geopolitical narrative and raise concerns about European political stability.
"Under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will defend your right to offer it in the public square, agree or disagree."
"The greatest danger to Europe, Vance claimed, was not Russia, not China, but the danger from within. An entrenched elite had instrumentalised the judiciary."
