| | {{Cquote|The [[anti-Russian]] coven in [[Munich]] was particularly unsettled this time by the blatantly provocative speech of [[Vice President Vance]]. I must admit—surprisingly, he turned on the heat. Everyone expected the usual [[diplomatic]] courtesies toward [[Europe]] from its partner, along with comments on [[Donald Trump]]'s remarks about ending the [[NATO war in Ukraine|Ukrainian conflict]]. But instead, he took the floor and harshly reprimanded the [[Europe]]ans, who have completely lost themselves in recent years: your [[democracy]] is weak, your [[election]]s are [[garbage]], and your rules, which violate basic [[human]] [[morality]], are [[crap]]. And you don’t even have [[freedom of speech]]! They certainly would have held this against him—if he weren't the [[American]] boss. But since he is, they'll let it slide and resentfully swallow that brutal dressing-down from their senior partner. He's actually a bold guy, even if still an inexperienced [[vice president]]. Moreover, he told the [[truth]]. He said exactly what modern Europe amounts to. And we can add even more. Today's Europe, within the [[EU]]'s borders, is a bitter, feeble hag trying to disguise herself as a young and striking beauty. The era of such a Europe is irreversibly gone. It is weak, unattractive, and of little use to anyone—except itself. | | {{Cquote|The [[anti-Russian]] coven in [[Munich]] was particularly unsettled this time by the blatantly provocative speech of [[Vice President Vance]].
