J.D. Vance in Munich: Harsh Truth to Eurocrats
In case you missed it, Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a long-overdue, blistering wakeup call to European leaders at the annual Munich Security Conference (MSC) in Germany. He warned that their greatest dangers are coming from “the threat from within,” from the increasingly tyrannical censorship by their thought police and their open-borders policies that have flooded Europe with migrants. His 19-minute speech on February 14, the opening day of the conference, clearly riled many of our European “allies” and made many more shift uncomfortably in their seats.
The conference opened less than 24 hours after an Afghan asylum seeker rammed his car into a group of people in Munich, injuring 39, at least two of whom have subsequently died from their injuries. The 24-year-old attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) before being subdued by police. He had been in Germany since 2016 even though his asylum application had been rejected, and he reportedly had been arrested on theft and drug charges. Germany’s progressive migrant policy had granted him a “tolerance” permit, and his deportation decision had been suspended. This attack was but the latest in a long stream of terrorist attacks by Muslim migrants that have poured into Germany, thanks to the migration policies of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her European Union and United Nations allies. Readers may recall the horrendous Christmas market attack of December 20, 2024, in Magdeburg, in which a Saudi national rammed his vehicle into a crowd, killing six and injuring 300. Then on January 22, in Aschaffenburg, Germany, an Afghan asylum seeker attacked a group of kindergarten children with a knife in a city park, killing a two-year-old child and an adult bystander who tried to stop him. Another child and two adults were wounded.
