Vance attack against Europe ignores Ukraine and Defense Program

This year’s Munich Security Conference (MSC) had to be mostly two things: how to end the war in Ukraine without giving up Russia and how Europe is needed to increase its defense costs.

But the oldest American gift, US Vice President JD Vance, uses his time on the podium to talk about either.

Instead, he shocked the delegates on Friday by attacking Washington circular allies, including the UK, in a bladder attack, declared misinformation, misinformation and the rights of freedom of expression.

It was very strange 20 minutes – a man met largely with a silence of delegates in the hall.

Even a joke: “If American democracy can survive for 10 years (climate campaign) Greta Tunberg to quarrel, you can survive for several months at Elon Musk,” failed to gather a single laugh.

In short, Vance’s speech decreased very badly – unequivocally bad. He was extremely poorly tried.

But who was she targeting?

An American commentator then told me: “This was all about our home consumption.”

However, the Vice President continued to meet the built -in Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, who did her best to sound positive.

The couple had a “good conversation”, according to Zelenski, who said she noted “our first date, not the last, I’m sure.” The Ukrainian leader emphasized the need for Washington and Kiev to talk more and work together, “to prepare the plan (of) how to stop Putin and complete the war.”

“We really want a lot, we want peace very much. But we need real security guarantees,” Zelenski added.

According to US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin also wants peace, but this is peace under his conditions. Unless these have changed secretly, they include capitulation in Russia’s demands and the constant termination of the territory in Moscow.

Vance’s speech came days after President Trump effectively removed the carpet from a negotiation position of Ukraine by retreating through his Defense Minister Pete Heget, this The restoration of the territory of Ukraine to the place where it was before the first Russian invasion in 2014 is simply “not realistic”S

The United States also hoped for Kiev’s hopes to join NATO, a key ambition of President Zelenski and excluded the sending of US troops to help protect Ukraine’s borders the next time Russia decides to invade.

Prior to the conference in Munich Europe, he was amazed by the news that Trump had had a clearly hearty 90-minute phone call with Putin, thus sharply terminating the three-year freezing of the West in conversation with the Russian leader, which has been in force since 2022.

The delegates in Munich are planned to focus on the war in Ukraine in a high profile debate on Saturday.

The fear in Munich among European leaders and their delegations is that in Donald Trump’s speed to provide a peaceful deal in Ukraine, Putin will emerge victorious, stronger and plans to seize more land in Europe.
