Shadows of War: Europe Warned to Break Free from U.S. Chains: In a moment that felt more like a warning than a policy statement, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a stark message to Europe: you are no longer safe under America’s wing. Speaking with blunt finality, Vance declared that Europe cannot continue being a “permanent security vassal” of the United States—an eerie phrase that casts a dark shadow over the continent’s future. For decades, he said, European defense has been propped up by American power. But those days are ending. “Europe’s entire security infrastructure, for my entire life, has been subsidized by the United States,” Vance said, frustration pulsing through his words. He didn’t stop there. Vance pointed out that only three nations—the UK, France, and Poland—possess truly independent military power. The rest? Drifting under the illusion of safety, all while investing barely enough to hold up a weapon, let alone a defense.
