In a provocative speech at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President JD Vance condemned European leaders for censoring free speech and neglecting the concerns of their voters. He depicted Europe's political climate as fraught with media censorship and political correctness, asserting that the greatest threat to democracy arises internally rather than from external forces like Russia or China. By questioning the shared agenda between the U.S. and Europe, Vance ignited further debate about transatlantic relations and the fundamental values of democracy, leaving the conference attendees in shock over his divisive remarks.
Vance's speech highlighted Europe's internal threats to democracy, warning that suppression of free speech and invalidation of voters' concerns jeopardize shared values with the US.
Vance provocatively questioned whether Europe still warrants US defense of its values, arguing that the true threat to democracy stems from internal dysfunction rather than external actors.
