JD Vance threatens European leaders at Munich security summit. - Full Speech - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

[Rhiannon12866]

Vice President JD Vance threatened European leaders to end the exclusion of far-right extreme parties across the continent such as Germany's AFD, a striking endorsement of a once-marginal political movement that aligns with the Trump administration’s extremist stance on migration, national identity, and online speech.

His remarks shocked and silenced hundreds of attendees at the Munich Security Conference, where top politicians, diplomats, and analysts had gathered expecting to hear Trump’s strategy for ending the war in Ukraine and strengthening Europe’s defense against a growing Russian threat.

Vance specifically addressed his German hosts, urging them to abandon their refusal to cooperate with a party known for using banned Nazi slogans and long excluded from government. Though he did not name the Alternative for Germany (AfD), he directly referenced the long-standing commitment of mainstream German politicians to isolate the group, parts of which German intelligence has officially designated as extremist. - 02/14/2025.

3. I live across the Strait

from Victoria BC. The Canadians have helped our community so many times - sometimes life-saving. He is trying to humiliate them for no reason except to be a bully. The good news is, the Canadian people are coming together. The bad news is their feelings for the US have changed and we are the ones who lost.

4. Interesting...

... how he feels Christians are being persecuted in the USA and Europe. Of course, many people are targeted for their religious beliefs. BUT... I would say Jewish and Muslim people are targeted much more, in the USA... and it is alarming. I guess this is the "free speech" he is promoting.
