At the Munich Security Conference in 2025, United States Vice President JD Vance attacked European politicians, branding censorship an even greater threat than China or Russia. Vance charged that the EU was suppressing free speech and ignoring voters' concerns regarding immigration. Downgrading alarm over Russian interference, Vance argued that the threat facing Europe "is from within." His remarks sparked heated denouncements, with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius describing them as unacceptable. Vance’s speech underscored deep transatlantic disagreement over security, democracy, and governance, leaving many people shocked.
