What is JD Vance's problem with Europe? Former diplomat shares his theory
-
He's a fascist, and is disgusted by European Social Democracy. This is why they're aligning the US with Russia, because they're a fellow fascist oligarchy.
It's really not that complicated.

I know several people who never crossed mason dixine line with southern accents and confederate flags. Like live we near candian border. Wtf?
The North-South divide transformed into a rural-urban divide over the course of the 20th century, especially following the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts of 1964, and the subsequent Southern Strategy employed by the Nixon (and subsequent Republican) campaigns. The strategy appealed to southern whites, as well as whites in suburbia and rural communities, which a lot of the Midwest and heartland states are. On top of that, add-on the collapse of Midwestern industry, with the capitol flight being blamed on Democrat policy, and you get a severe cultural shift towards neo-Confederate sympathy.

Here some background info, about his tattoos.
The main tattoo, the Jerusalem cross, used to be a symbol in heraldy. But since the 2000's it's bacome a symbol appropriated by rightwinged Christian American nationalist extremism (nazis) according to wiki :
"In the 2000s in the United States, the Crusades became an object of focus for some white supremacists along with related iconography including the Jerusalem Cross. Matthew Taylor, who specializes in Christian extremism, said that the Jerusalem cross "doesn't always necessarily connote an endorsement of the Crusades" but far-right and neo-Nazi groups use the symbol."
So ofcourse he won't like a non-American, democracies country, with no (nazi) values. As a selfappointed crusader, he probably prefers to launch a "crusade to purge the system.

I've always been curious exactly how much the US benefited from their geopolitical position. I suspect it's a huge amount and I guess now we'll get to find out.
The amount of soft power the US uses globally is massive, too much and too complex for the current administration to grasp
They only see the primary effects: “we are losing money”

I can get being anti dem. I just don't get why they waving flag of slavers in northern states when their ancestors were immigrants after civil war or fought for north. Its the same energy as nazi flag in homes were grandpa killed nazis. Like wtf? Isn't the GOP/maga flag enough?

Which is like saying “we are losing money to the grocery store…”
So their response is to stop eating… they don’t grasp it’s not LOSING money it BUYING influence.
I have to believe they get this and want to divert that money to their own profits while screaming “efficiency!”

It's interesting that the budget of the American military includes social security and retirement plabs, while the europeans don't.
When you say "Europeans don't" which country are you referring to exactly?

He's an arrogant cunt who thinks his country is bigger and richer so Europe should be kissing his ass because he has to kiss trump's (lets not forget that he hated Trump recently). The MAGAs have a persecution complex and he's what passes for an intellectual to hicks and MAGA. He probably showed himself up in Europe sometime trying his loudmouth pseudointellectual bully boy patter and got his arse smacked. Poor JD... I believe the word is butthurt.

Also they didn’t know that a massive amount of USAID operations are used as CIA covers. It’s a good way to get agents a legitimate reason to be in a country.

He reminds me Ben Shapiro

Is it that he's a cunt?
All signs point to yes.

It's a southern thing, it enrages them that the coasts respect European culture while considering them backwards hicks, and that europeans aren't devoutly Christian like southerners believe everyone should be.
The ruling class down there encourage this as an easily manufactured enemy to illustrate how evil a liberal atheist, moderately socialist culture is.
Thing is, even devoutly Christians in Europe can't relate to their US equivalents. They're way different.

Any of the big ones + scandinavia I am sure it is like that, maybe you cound nitpick and find a small one who doesn't.

The USA national debt is a good proxy measure.
The world outside the USA needed us dollars for petroleum and international trade. One of the major us enterprises has been to supply these funds in exchange for goods and services.
It is currently running at $1T every 100 days.
This means the world is selling more to the USA than equal exchange. They take those dollars away and buy oil and other international trade, or they hold the money. The us is being paid to create the currency that is used.

No need to nitpick because you're comparing apples to oranges, so I'm trying to understand what you even mean by social security and pensions.
All the EEA countries provide free or accessible health care and state pensions by the state and/or military.
And the reason why you're statement doesn't compute for me is because a lot of the "big ones + scandinavia" are conscription countries that provide everything while you're in service and you would get military pension if you decide to stay in the army professionally after your mandatory time is over. -
It's because he's a massive cunt. It's been scientifically proven on multiple occasions. He also is a dirty little couchfucker. Don't believe a word he says.

Imo it was staged, like the meeting with Zelensky
They dont care, there is no major plan, or intentions to make america better or whatever. They are following orders from other countries -

In one of his latest videos, he shows that social security and retirement is baked in the usa military budget, but in the EU budgets it is not.
And even if you stay in the army, the retirement is paid by the same entity that pays every retirement. In sweden it is like that anyways and I guess france too so I guess most countries doesn't burden the military budget with that.
