In a powerful St. Valentines love message to his European allies, at the Munich Security Conference, Senator JD Vance took direct aim at the European Union’s blatant betrayal of democratic values, exposing how political elites from Greece, France, the United Kingdom, Romania, Germany, and Sweden have systematically attacked free speech, rigged elections, and crushed political opposition. From the imprisonment of Greek opposition leaders and France’s legal witch hunts against Marine Le Pen, to the UK’s Orwellian arrest of citizens for silent prayer and Romania’s annulled election results, Vance made it clear that the biggest threat to democracy isn’t Russia or China—it’s the corrupt, self-serving elites in Brussels and Washington. As mass migration spirals out of control and European leaders defy their own voters, Vance’s message is clear: it’s time to listen to the people before it’s too late.
1. “You cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The imprisonment of Golden Dawn’s leader in Greece, a move clearly aimed at eliminating right-wing opposition.
- Attempts in France to legally take down Marine Le Pen, fearing her rising popularity.
- The UK’s financial system weaponized against Nigel Farage, where his bank accounts were shut down to silence him.
The EU constantly preaches about democracy but acts like an authoritarian regime when real opposition gains traction.
2. “A former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election. He warned that if things don’t go to plan, the very same thing could happen in Germany too.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU’s interference in Romania’s annulled elections, a blatant move to keep power in the hands of Brussels’ puppets.
- Thinly veiled threats that Germany’s elections could meet the same fate if voters don’t comply with the globalist agenda.
This is how the EU operates—elections are only valid when they serve the ruling class’s interests.
3. “We must do more than talk about democratic values. We must live them.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU elites who shut down social media and criminalize dissent.
- Ursula von der Leyen’s push for increased digital censorship under the guise of “protecting democracy.”
4. “I look to Brussels, where EU Commission commissars warned citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU’s authoritarian moves to silence dissent when migrant crime explodes and citizens protest.
If the EU was so confident in its policies, it wouldn’t have to shut people up.
5. “In Sweden, the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Quran burnings that resulted in his friend’s murder.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The Swedish government, which prosecutes Christians for offending Muslims but refuses to protect its own people from migrant crime waves.
- The entire EU establishment, which bends over backward for radical Islam while criminalizing traditional European values.
6. “In the United Kingdom, Adam Smith Conner, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, was found guilty of breaking the Buffer Zones Law, which criminalizes silent prayer.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The UK government, which has turned into an Orwellian state where praying in public is a crime while grooming gangs are ignored.
7. “I look to our very dear friends, the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in particular in the crosshairs.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The leftist establishment in the UK, which persecutes Christians while bending the knee to radical activists who rewrite laws to suit their agenda.
8. “The prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation.”
Who he’s calling out:
- Joe Biden’s administration, which colluded with Big Tech to silence conservatives, medical experts, and election integrity advocates.
9. “Under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square.”
Why this matters:
- Unlike the EU and Biden’s America, Trump and Vance champion free speech.
- If the left was confident in their ideas, they wouldn’t need to silence their opponents.
10. “Romania straight up cancelled the results of a presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU’s deep state, which overturned democratic results with excuses about “Russian disinformation.”
- The same tactics used against Trump in 2016, when the deep state falsely claimed he was a Russian puppet.
11. “To believe in democracy is to understand that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The WEF’s Davos elites who think regular people are too stupid to govern themselves.
12. “Europe faces many challenges. But the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making.”
What he’s saying:
- The real crisis is the betrayal of European citizens by their own leaders.
- The EU has invited disaster through open borders, silencing free speech, and handing power to unelected bureaucrats.
13. “No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants.”
Who he’s calling out:
- Angela Merkel and the EU elites, who forced mass migration onto Europe despite overwhelming public opposition.
14. “We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city.”
What he’s referencing:
- A recent terror attack in Munich, committed by yet another “asylum seeker” who should never have been in Europe in the first place.
15. “How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course?”
Who he’s calling out:
- The suicidal immigration policies of Europe, which invite criminals and terrorists into once-safe nations.
- The leftist leaders who refuse to admit they were wrong even as their own people are butchered in the streets.
16. “In England, they voted for Brexit. And agree or disagree, they voted for it.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU elites who tried to overturn Brexit, refusing to respect the will of the people.
17. “Contrary to what you might hear a couple of mountains over in Davos, the citizens of all of our nations don’t generally think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable cogs of a global economy.”
Who he’s calling out:
- Klaus Schwab and the WEF, who openly push for a world where people are nothing more than obedient worker drones.
18. “If American democracy can survive ten years of Greta Thunberg’s scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The climate cultists who push hysteria while demonizing anyone who questions their agenda.
- The EU elites who hate Elon Musk for bringing back free speech.
19. “Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters.”
Who he’s calling out:
- The EU technocrats who think they can rule without elections or accountability.
20. “We shouldn’t be afraid of our people even when they express views that disagree with their leadership.”
Why this matters:
- The real populists, like Trump and Vance, respect the will of the people.
- The EU and Biden’s America fear democracy because they know they would lose if the playing field were fair.
Final Thoughts
Vance’s speech wasn’t just a rebuke of the EU’s hypocrisy—it was a battle cry for every European and American who wants their country back. The message was clear: the real threats to freedom aren’t Russia or China—they’re the bureaucrats in Brussels and Washington who betray their own people.
With Trump and Vance leading the charge, the globalist empire is on notice.
