UK MPs Condemn JD Vance’s ‘Deeply Disrespectful’ Comments

What Happened: Vance sparked outrage after dismissing a proposed Anglo-French peacekeeping force for Ukraine, referring to “20,000 troops from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years.” UK officials were enraged and swiftly condemned the remarks, calling them insulting to British and French soldiers who fought alongside the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Why It Matters: Vance’s dismissive rhetoric weakens already strained U.S.-UK relations at a time when Western allies are working to bolster security guarantees for Ukraine. His remarks reinforce growing concerns about Trump’s America (Russia) First approach and hostility toward U.S. allies while cozying up to dictator thugs.
