Part 2/9:
At the Munich Security Conference, a forum typically dominated by cautious diplomacy, JD Vance broke from the mold and delivered a speech that rattled attendees. Traditionally, such conferences see U.S. representatives advocating for stronger defense spending from European allies without acknowledging their own military shortcomings. However, Vance’s remarks challenged this norm. He asserted that Europe’s greatest threats are self-inflicted, chiefly due to the open borders policy that has led to mass migration challenges across the continent.
