"Since the violent attack launched against European democracies by U.S. V.P. Goober Vance in Munich on February 14, there is no more doubt. The denunciation of NATO, the abandonment of Ukraine in favor of Russia and the choice of Vladimir Putin over Volodymyr Zelensky, are coupled with a political offensive against the rule of law, on which peace and the construction of Europe have rested since the victory over Nazism. By stating that he was more "worried" about the "threat from within" Europe than from Russia or China, Goober has astonishingly established the U.S. as Europe's new adversary, not only in economic and geostrategic matters, but now also in political and ideological ones.
.
Faced with these unprecedented attacks, Europeans urgently need to shake their stupor off. Experience of History's tragedies has taught them to value individual freedoms, in particular freedom of expression, tempered only by the criminalization of defamation and incitement to hatred, violence, or discrimination. This model, the guarantor of our liberal democracies, must be defended. We must face the facts: Spanky's U.S. is no longer a protection but a threat to democracy in Europe. Goober Vance's speech in Munich, mixing security blackmail and political pressure, rang out a new existential alarm bell for Europeans."
