"Europe in SHOCK as JD Vance Proves Everyone WRONG... | Victor Davis Hanson...

.

Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the firestorm surrounding JD Vance’s Munich Security Conference speech—an address that sent shockwaves through Europe’s political establishment. Vance didn’t just challenge NATO’s defense spending; he exposed the deeper crisis unfolding in Europe—where censorship, economic decline, and unchecked migration threaten the very fabric of Western civilization. Vance’s message? The West needs to stand together, but how can it when European elites suppress dissent, silence American tech platforms, and refuse to confront their own failures? Germany, once a powerhouse, is now shackled by radical energy policies and a shrinking workforce. France teeters on the edge of political upheaval. And as populist movements surge across Europe, the ruling class is in full-blown panic mode. Hanson makes it clear—this isn’t a revolution, it’s a counter-revolution. A long-overdue restoration of common sense, sovereignty, and self-preservation. The question is, will Europe listen before it’s too late?
