Vance is no isolationist when it comes to Israel and fighting the Chinese.
Vance also supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s ironic, since before he joined the MAGA cult, he said Trump was America’s Hitler and unfit for office.
That is only a blow for Brussels if Trump wins.
This sort of Republicans makes me even long for Richard Nixon.
Europe has to prepare for a fallen and corrupt USA now
this will be interesting america votes trump who can’t travel overseas cos he’s a convicted felon and a VP that doesn’t want to
We know what to expect, no support for the US and the US sucking Putins dick.
We just have to deal with it, we’ve delt with Putin’s good little boys before.
And in a few years we might have to bring freedom to US.
We must implement a European Army very fast now. No real army but simply a joint command center (NATO style). We do not need a new treaty as the EU treaty already provides a collective defense clause. We simply need all big European countries to build a joint military HQ next to NATO and SHAPE. It’s very simple: the European Common Security and Defence Policy-structures exist but need to become a real military HQ. I would also physically build it next to NATO in Brussels and SHAPE in Mons. Just start with it. Better today than tomorrow. PS: Excellent article. Thanks for the link OP!
Hope this will unite europe even more.
A literal neofascist looking at his preferred ideology
> Vance is considered to adhere to the Dark Enlightenment, an anti-democratic, reactionary philosophy. He is close friends with its leading figure Curtis Yarvin, who Vance described as a major political and ideological influence.
What the fuck is Dark Enlightenment?
> The Dark Enlightenment, also called the neo-reactionary movement (sometimes abbreviated to NRx), is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, reactionary philosophical and political movement.
> A 2016 article in New York magazine notes that “Neoreaction has a number of different strains, but perhaps the most important is a form of post-libertarian futurism that, realizing that libertarians aren’t likely to win any elections, argues against democracy in favor of authoritarian forms of government.”
> Andy Beckett stated that “NRx” supporters “believe in the replacement of modern nation-states, democracy and government bureaucracies by authoritarian city states, which on neoreaction blogs sound as much like idealised medieval kingdoms as they do modern enclaves such as Singapore.”
As if Trump cared about Europe before this. He just chose this man coz he’s young and to higher his chances in swing states that will decide these elections as always, VP is from that area. Happened to be isolationist. Anyways I don’t see win is sealed at all so it’s up to american ppl to pull something like in france elections recently
