    1. >Despite Vance’s comment, the UK has been involved in several military interventions around the world since 1980, and some of the most brutal have been with the US. Hundreds of British service personnel were killed when the UK helped the US with fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan during the early 2000s.

      >After Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the UK played a supporting role to the US in a fierce bombing campaign against Iraq the following year. This Anglo-American airstrike campaign continued for a decade after the Gulf War, lasting until the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

      >The British military has also been deployed multiple times to counter threats to allied nations from neighbouring countries. A key example is the 1994 deployment to Kuwait to deter a potential threat from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

      Christ, we literally fought in America’s two biggest wars in that time period. For them.

    3. Arrogant wanker. The US has just pulled the rug out from Europe after halting military aid to Ukraine and given Russia no reason to engage in a ceasefire as France and the UK had proposed. They want Ukraine to capitulate to Russia and are using extortion and blackmail to achieve it, and throwing Europe under the bus in the process. Europe’s leaders are going to have to start calling a spade a spade soon, and stop pretending we have a normal friendly relationship with America any more.

      Deliberate antagonism. He’s trying to escalate tensions. He’s a dangerous fucker.

    5. 457 of our soldier’s gave their life in Afghanistan 179 in Iraq.

      Back when we were brother in arms, UK/US forces served, fought and bled together for a common cause.

      This cunt of a man disrespects their memory, he is a vile human being, a coward who kisses the Trump Ring.

      A shoddy way to to treat a nation who was a key ally to the US during Iraq and Afghanistan.

      There is a lesson here, the US is no longer a friend to the UK. I think it will be along time before we can trust them again. Which makes it all the more tragic we decided to soil our relationship with Europe.

    7. The Americans have always been up their own arse but this mob really does take sniffing their own farts to a whole new level.

    8. There are British soldiers six foot under in the wars started by his country in the middle east. He might have been a marine, but he was a military journalist. I don’t agree with ragging on non-combat personnel in general for the sake of it, but its fair game if they disrespect the combat arms.

      Honestly, what a fucking scumbag.

      Dude is such a whiney little bitch. BUT it can be funny when someone is non stop wrong about everything.

      This guy is the biggest wanker of the Trump-Musk-Vance triumvirate for me.

      The sheer arrogance of what is effectively a nobody plucked by Trump to be his VP.

      He’s a classic example of how the loudest person in the room is often the most thickest. He says a lot of words to hide the fact he’s talking out of his arse 99% of the time.

      This comment above betrays his lack of knowledge and respect for the world stage, not to mention complete ignorance for two allies that stood alongside US in their disastrous War on Terror.

      JD Vance can’t even get a suit that fits him properly.

      I highly doubt we should start taking military advice from so no-name, chinless wanker who would get made fun of because his cat died if he turned up to school in pants like that.

      > serving as a military journalist with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. During his four years of service, Vance was deployed to the Iraq War in 2005 for six months in a non-combat role, writing articles and taking photographs

      I don’t think JD here has much input into who has and has not fought in the last thirty years, particularly when hundreds of British servicemen died while he was taking photographs. Very strange man.

    13. Vance is throwing shit at other countries like a deranged chimp. The problem is that they are creating so much noise that some of it is a smoke screen. The US has gone insular and is forcing people to respond when actually we should be turning our backs and not interacting. They think military power is the be all and end all but when US families start to see household items shoot up in price it is going to come as a shock. If anything this could push Europe closer to china.

    14. Needs to be posted in r/ShitAmericansSay

      For the last 30 years we have been in mealy every war America has been in and a few they weren’t..

    15. HotelPuzzleheaded654 on

      Has the US won a war in 30 years?

      Tough talk from a guy who ran away from protesters on his skiing holiday.

      Vance is a Country Under Nuclear Threat.

    16. LycanIndarys on

      I’ll let other people point out the numerous wars that we have fought in, including the ones that we fought alongside our American allies. Or the complete hypocrisy of someone that demands thanks and respect from an ally turning around and insulting a different ally.

      But the weird part of this is that Vance spent four years in the Marine Corp, as a military journalist. That included a six-month tour in Iraq. Did he not notice the British accents that he came across while he was there, or wonder *why* we were there with them?

    17. Better_Concert1106 on

      I honestly find myself disliking this tosser more than trump.

      I remember seeing the coffins being carried through Royal Wootton Bassett on the news when they were brought back into Brize Norton. Seem to recall that was us alongside America in Afghanistan. What a disingenuous obnoxious cunt Vance is.

    18. These people hate us and hate our country.

      If the likes of Farage, the Spectator, the Telegraph and GB News are still siding with them, they’re siding with people who hate the UK and who hate our allies.

    19. Born-Advertising-478 on

      At least we can win wars alone. The US gets shown up every time they fight a war solo.

    20. I wouldn’t be surprised if this whiny little bitch has got it in for the UK after Starmer rightly pulled him up on his lies about free speech in the UK.

      If you’re gonna lie in public about the UK in front of the British prime minister, you should expect to be fact checked in public by the British prime minister

    21. Due-Resort-2699 on

      My brothers pal died in Iraq. On the way to assist the US Marines up near Baghdad no less.

      He wasn’t some fucking “random”

      It’s all trolling of the uk. The new US totalitarian state is going to align with the the Russian totalitarian state. That’s what is happening. They will now spend the next phase trying to convince the US electorate that this is justified and “other” is to blame, whilst they round up non-white immigrants and put them in concentration camps, give nazi salutes, steal all the public money and fuck up the ability of the US to function as a state.

      It’s was transparent this was going to happen before the election, this is what the US is going to get. It’s like watching a bad Netflix series play out in real life.

      Putin discovered the biggest weakness of democracy… thick people can vote too.

    23. Just to mention again that the only time article 5 of NATO mutual defence pact has been triggered was to help the US after 9/11.

      Did they thank us?

    24. CornusControversa on

      This is incredibly insulting. The Trump administration has gone rogue, personally I don’t see why they should get a state visit, or anything from us. We should sit it out, until an administration who wants to play by the rules takes over. The chances are high they will be overthrown by their own people.

    25. joeythemouse on

      Maybe this bitch should actuall say ‘thank you’ for the UK’s support for Cheney’s illegal war on terror.

      Tony Blair made himself a war criminal for the ‘special relationship’.

    26. Safe-Hair-7688 on

      So Farage and his buddies J D and Trump are now dishonoring our soldiers sacrifice in defense of them after 9/11.

      Why are we even letting Farage (The Russian asset) and J D vance and Trump speak about our fallen like this. Utterly disrespectful. Farage’s should be ashamed of his links to these people, but No he is a russia shill just like them.

      let remember them

      457 British armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021. The majority of these deaths were due to hostile military action. 
      Fatalities by year
      2009 and 2010: The number of fatalities peaked in these years, with over 100 personnel killed in each year. 
      2015: Two further UK personnel died in a helicopter crash. 
      Other casualties
      616 serious or very serious casualties occurred among armed forces and civilian personnel during Operation Herrick. 
      An estimated 2,000 British military and civilian personnel were wounded in action. 
      Comparison with US forces 
      British soldiers sent to Afghanistan were more likely to die than US forces.

      Iraq 

      Overall, 179 British service personnel died serving in the war, 136 of them as a direct result of hostile action. Around 3,500 servicemen and women were injured, with an estimated 2,000 requiring some form of medical evacuation. The Army’s Infantry divisions were particularly hard hit

      J D Vance and Farage’s deeply dishonor these men and woman…

      Hopefully this type of shit alienates the so called “patriotic” Reform crowd too.

      The US is isolating itself right now
