...by not including Europeans in his negotiations with Putin, forces Europe to finally grow up and assume more responsibility for (and control over) events in its own hemisphere. Forcing Europe to ramp up its military power structure is on balance a good thing for Europe and the U.S.It's no surprise that Europe currently lacks the will and military might to thwart Russia on its own. Hell, it took a U.S. brokered peace deal in 1995 to ease tensions in tiny Bosnia. It's time someone removed the training wheels and forced Europe to pedal like the Big Boys.
Russia has a population of 144 million. Europe's population is over 740 million. Russia has a GDP of $2 trillion. Europe has a GDP of $20 trillion. Let Europe start spending more, much more, on its own military preparedness and stop depending on the U.S. If Europe wishes to be taken seriously then it's going to need a serious military deterrent, instead of relying overly much on U.S. muscle and power projection.Roman maxim: If you wish peace, prepare for war.
Vance took a lot of criticism for his Munich speech. But in one area he was merely parroting the remarks of former U.S. defense secretary Bob Gates. Fourteen years ago, President Obama's secretary of defense, Robert Gates, warned Europe that it was headed for "irrelevance" and a day of reckoning
"The blunt reality," Gates warned, "is that there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the U.S. Congress — and in the American body politic writ large — to expend increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense."
Well, that day is here.

We'll see if they end up with larger homeless populations as a result of spending much more on defense.
Did you prefer the last administrations tactic of not trying to end the war? He just funded more killing on both sides.
Negotiations mean appeasing Putin.
NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
This is yet another instance of not very intelligent people telling us it's 1938 again whenever we talk with world leaders whom they've identified as "the new Hitler". It's all getting rather old.

. . . if Ukraine itself weren't already a neo-Nazi run country which started the current conflict in the first place.
BTW, I'm glad you got rid of that dumb picture of Shostakovich in your posts. "Secretly fighting against Stalin with his music!", as people "in the know" (like you!) believe. LOL!
Too bad good people felt differently in WWII.
I am sorry to give you that bad news, but fighting for your freedom usually means losing some heroes.
I guess fighting the Brits was a horrible mistake.
Many are deserting and/or surrendering as fast as they can.
