US Vice President JD Vance has called on European states to show greater independence, urging them not to be US “vassals.” He also said EU governments could have done more to oppose Washington over the Iraq War.

    Sure there were protests by the people, I’m talking about the governments, and they were and are vasals.
    I’m not impressed with some resolution or opposition only by words.
    Where were the sanctions like they do with countries the US doesn’t like?
    And how quickly they backed down when there was talk of bringing a case to the ICC.
    I remember my Belgian government fully facilitating the transport of their murder weapons trough the port of Antwerp.
    Even let them break the law since they refused to let our customs see what they brought in.

            Common knowledge. But what does this have to do with the role of Europe discussed here?
