>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.

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.

Has Vance said thank you to the UK for their military support even once?
Striking_Smile6594 on
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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…
