Hegseth is SO far out of his depth, like a kindergartner trying to teach a college class on geopolitics. He's absolutely as bad as impartial observers expected him to be. No, he's worse.

J.D. Vance: hold my beer! (But please don't drink it, Pete.)

In Munich, Vance accuses European politicians of censoring free speech

WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Friday took a swipe at European governments for what he described as their censorship of free speech and their political opponents, while largely avoiding the question of how to resolve the Ukraine war.
Speaking to European political leaders, military officers and diplomats at the Munich Security Conference, Vance surprised the audience by dismissing the risk of Russian political interference in Europe, taking a similar stance to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has railed against claims by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia had interfered on his behalf in the 2016 election.
Vance adopted a confrontational tone, accusing European politicians of what he said was a fear of their own people and warned them that the real threat against their democracy was not from Russia or China.
"The threat I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America," Vance said.

God, I miss the joyful Indian African-American prosecutor lady with the funny first name...
