He’s a fascist, and is disgusted by European Social Democracy. This is why they’re aligning the US with Russia, because they’re a fellow fascist oligarchy.
It’s really not that complicated.
Judging by the language and behaviour we’ve seen so far; I doubt it’s at all sophisticated. ‘Might is right’ and the US should belittle and subjugate others because they can - it’s their right and furthermore their duty to the American people! In other words, he’s probably a straightforward imperialist.
I don’t know the guy though so if anyone can add nuance to that I’d be glad to understand better. If his true feelings are benevolent towards Europe and he’s ‘merely’ frustrated that they’re not pulling their weight militarily, then he’s got a ham-fisted and harmful way of showing it.
He probably can’t grasp how much return the US was getting out of their geopolitical position. Same with the tariffs and humanitarian aid.
I’ve always been curious exactly how much the US benefited from their geopolitical position. I suspect it’s a huge amount and I guess now we’ll get to find out.
The amount of soft power the US uses globally is massive, too much and too complex for the current administration to grasp
They only see the primary effects: “we are losing money”
Which is like saying “we are losing money to the grocery store…”
So their response is to stop eating… as if they don’t grasp it’s not LOSING money it BUYING influence.
I have to believe they get this and want to divert that money to their own profits while screaming “efficiency!”
It’s interesting that the budget of the American military includes social security and retirement plabs, while the europeans don’t.
Is it that he’s a cunt?
All signs point to yes.

It’s because he’s a massive cunt. It’s been scientifically proven on multiple occasions. He also is a dirty little couchfucker. Don’t believe a word he says.
Europe is gay and Putin is anti-woke
He reminds me Ben Shapiro
Imo it was staged, like the meeting with Zelensky They dont care, there is no major plan, or intentions to make america better or whatever. They are following orders from other countries
It’s a southern thing, it enrages them that the coasts respect European culture while considering them backwards hicks, and that europeans aren’t devoutly Christian like southerners believe everyone should be.
The ruling class down there encourage this as an easily manufactured enemy to illustrate how evil a liberal atheist, moderately socialist culture is.
JD Vance is from Ohio, he’s not a Southern.
He is from the Cincinnati area, which borders Kentucky, and he spent some of his youth in Kentucky. Not a proper southerner, but from the gradient where North becomes South.
I know several people who never crossed mason dixine line with southern accents and confederate flags. Like live we near candian border. Wtf?
I live in Canada and have seen the Confederate flag greater than 0 times in Alberta. It’s odd.
Makes me laugh when I see the confederate flag in Pennsylvania, considering the Confederates invaded PA. Gettysburg is right fucking there and yet some still think it’s some cool rebel flag. Idiots.
The North-South divide transformed into a rural-urban divide over the course of the 20th century, especially following the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts of 1964, and the subsequent Southern Strategy employed by the Nixon (and subsequent Republican) campaigns. The strategy appealed to southern whites, as well as whites in suburbia and rural communities, which a lot of the Midwest and heartland states are. On top of that, add-on the collapse of Midwestern industry, with the capitol flight being blamed on Democrat policy, and you get a severe cultural shift towards neo-Confederate sympathy.
Edit: I could’ve added a bunch more about the media industry, especially Fox and right-wing talk radio, but I can only waste time in the bathroom at work for so long before the boss notices.
Edit 2: fuck shit fuck also the Democrats sucked ass for a long time and culturally associated themselves with cultured, cosmopolitan urbanites, dropping the old-school working class blue-dog persona they had during the New Deal.
I can get being anti dem. I just don’t get why they waving flag of slavers in northern states when their ancestors were immigrants after civil war or fought for north. Its the same energy as nazi flag in homes were grandpa killed nazis. Like wtf? Isn’t the GOP/maga flag enough?
