For once - once! - a politician makes a speech I actually enjoyed!

It was clearly aimed at the home market; he was supposed to be there to
talk about security in Europe and never even mentioned Ukraine.  All
that this speech has done is to turn most European countries against the
kind of ignorant, thuggish, self-serving America he represents.
Fortunately there are still many Americans who are not like that.

Big changes to the old post-war order coming fast. Should be *very*
interesting. I've ordered extra beer and popcorn. :-)

 I should have posted the URL for the full speech. It's under 20
minutes long and I'm sure Bill will want to see the whole thing. ;-)

JD Vance would make a good Republican candidate for 2028, I think in large part because he's one of the few high-ranking people in the Trump administration who didn't spend most of their lives as a Democrat..
