    That sound you just heard was every country in the world suddenly deciding that they need nuclear weapons.

  2. So Vance believes that the United Kingdom and France having nuclear weapons pose a threat to the national security of the United States because someone with “islamist-adjacent” views could have “significant influence” over politics in European countries in the not-so-distant future, and that these individuals may decide to turn their weapon arsenal against the U.S.

    But he completely ignores that Russia, Pakistan and North Korea all have nuclear weapons.

  3. “According to the Vice President, if France and the U.K. allow themselves to be “overwhelmed with destructive moral ideas” then the nuclear weapons held by both countries would be allowed to fall into the hands of people who may actually pose a threat to America.”

    France and the U.K. be like “Funny, we were thinking the same thing abut you.”

  4. Well by extension, doesn’t that mean that the US having nuclear weapons is a national security risk to the UK and France? I’d say even more so when you consider that the US has a record of actually using nuclear weapons in warfare. (Not to mention both the UK and France presently have stable heads of state)

    What a bunch of turncoat pedophiles..

    Can we please vote these fuckers out of office for the rest of my lifetime for the good of all humanity.

    Fuck you, JD Vance!

  6. Whilst some of us wish our erstwhile colonial cousins would simply put a sock in it and go away, I do seem to remember that North Korea has stated they will destroy the USA and _they_ have nuclear weapons.

    Or are they not distraction enough from the Epstein files?

  7. Well it really wasn’t before trump started treating them like shit. They were stalwart allies. Thanks to trump we’d be lucky if they pissed on us if we were on fire.

  8. I don’t know about France, but the UK leases it’s nuclear weapons from the US at great financial benefit to the US.

    There are only three possibilities here:

    a) he’s an idiot
    b) he’s acting as a mouthpiece for Russian interests
    c) both

  9. Dude this is the worst administration we have ever had by a country mile – like they are a disgrace and might need something quicker than an impeachment

    BUT

    This headline is kind of misleading. He says they pose a threat if Jihadists take control there. Which happens to be racist white replacement and islamophobic as fuck, and that should probably be where we put the attention.

  10. We have one example. The country that gave their nuclear weapons out to Russia.
    It was Ukraine.
    Then US gave their quarantee to protect them if Russia will attacked.
    Should other countries follow that example ?

    You have to wonder what dirt club Russia holds over Trump?

    Ukraine inherited the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, possessing thousands of Soviet nuclear warheads, ballistic missiles, and bombers, but never had operational control and agreed to transfer them to Russia in exchange for security assurances under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, becoming a non-nuclear state by 2001.

  11. I’m confused. I thought that the UK and France need to have their own military forces because MAGA doesn’t want the USA to be the leaders of the free world. So should they have the power to defend themselves or not?
