Watching the speech, and the reaction of the audience, was breathtaking.

JD Vance delivered the 21st century version of President Reagan's "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

And to the right audience.

Great speech from JDV. Sadly the majority of EU citizens don’t actually understand what is happening in their own nations, which have literally been transmogrified thru subtle and deliberate social and fiscal engineering to try to create a generic single ‘European’ state, this has been accomplished over the last 40 years by washing most of these citizens in a single currency (there’s still 7 out of 27 that are outside of the Euro Zone) and then further diluting them by introducing laws and regulations that might have appeared to be benevolent and appealing to young people, students, minority groups; new immigrants seemingly beneficial to the whole by colouring every one in a wonderful rainbow of multi-ethnic, multi cultural, multi genders. Brainwashed and controlled by over paid and unelected super socialist Eureaucrats. I am British and obviously voted for Brexit and also a REFORM member.

Marc, thanks for your thoughts and welcome to ForeignLocal. I can only agree 100% with your analysis. Europeans have been brainwashed by a mainstream media and entertainment system (cinema, TV) that created a herd mentality, repeating to them that sovereignty should be taken for granted, borders are fascist, illegal immigrants are heroes worth funding, and Conservatives are Nazis, while Communists are sweethearts. Brexit (actually the lack of implementation of Brexit) has been another of the slaps by the Eurocrat establishment (of which the British Swamp is fully part) to the free voters in the UK, which they expect to have replaced by aggressive foreigners and complacent Leftists pretty soon. I hope REFORM UK, supported by braves like you, shall prevail. God knows we need a strong UK if we want freedom to prevail on Earth. God bless.

Truth often hurts badly especially when Kaia came out with victim mentality as the non elected “foreign minister” of the EU, when every single one of the 27 countries has its own Foreign Minister.

I know. They chose a Estonian to make sure the tension with Russia only increased, though I must say she is still better than the absurd pro-Hamas Socialist from Spain that was in charge of the non-existent EU foreign policy before her.
