Last week, after I listened to J.D Vance’s speech
at the Munich Security Conference, I recommended that each of you also listen to what our Vice President had to say. While the elitists in Europe did not appreciate what Vance said, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hopped right on the Vance bandwagon.
From Politico:
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came to Vice President JD Vance’s defense on Saturday, blasting the “elites” who were outraged by Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference last week. She denounced the “American liberal leftism” that she said was being replicated in Europe, and said Vance was right in his speech about the greater threat to the continent… Vance made waves in Munich with his “America First” address that left European leaders stunned, and without the guidance they had hoped for on the U.S.’s approach to negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Now, Meloni is echoing Vance and President Donald Trump’s talking points — saying Europe has been “sacrificed on the altar of wokeness, bureaucracy and mercantilism”
Is her speaking out in combination with the results of Germany’s recent election marking the beginning of a change in European thinking?
One can hope!
