  Vance's insulting speech in Europe  Vance distorted edge-cases of European laws to attack crucial human rights, and to promote his allies in Europe — European far-right extremists-Nazis — and encourage them to seize repressive power there as the Trusk regime is doing in the US. European anti-Nazis need to be bold, not hesitate and rely on measures that aim only to oppose them. Since the US appreciates Putin more than Europe, and is as likely to behave like Europe's enemy than like Europe's friend, Europe urgently needs to re-arm. The lesson from this is that European governments must ensure their weapons production does not depend significantly on US industry. They could be cut off by sanctions at any time. Europe must cease buying US weapons systems that depend on US spare parts, US maintenance, or software that Europe cannot maintain and change. NATO no longer makes sense with the US as a member, so perhaps the other members of NATO should construct a new alliance without the US. That could be a framework to facilitate joint defense of Greenland, for instance. With luck, that would deter the wrecker from actually invading Greenland. | |||||||||||||
