Vance’s attack on European democracy in Munich, perversely twisting the language of democracy itself should leave no doubt whatsoever that the aim of this administration is to destroy the EU and its liberal democracies," said Nathalie Tocci, director of Istituto Affari Internazionali think tank.

Responding to Vance’s speech, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told the conference: “If I understood him correctly he is comparing parts of Europe with authoritarian regimes. This is not acceptable.”

    There are some really funny lines in that Article

    Vance says real threat for Europe is not from Russia or China

    If he implies that he and the orange clown are a real threat right now he is certainly right.

    “If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you,” Vance said.

    That’s also really funny, because Republicans are in fear of their own voters for years, and try everything possible to make voting as hard as possible. From unregistering voters to gerrymandering, contesting absentee ballots or removing polling stations from poorer Areas, there is nothing they won’t try to disenfranchise voters

      From the summary line I was wondering that too, but in the article, it’s pretty clear that he’s talking only about EU internals/citizens.
