Vice President J.D. Vance has been traipsing around the British Isles, being wined and dined by U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy and other British imperialists. Yesterday, Vance addressed U.S. troops at RAF Fairford, a U.S. air base in Gloucestershire. With a U-2 spy plane providing the backdrop, Vance, unfortunately, showed how limited his view of history is.
“We’ve got a beautiful country here. We’ve got a beautiful alliance,” he said, reported The Independent. “And I think every single one of you know that for over 100 years, we have worked with our friends from the United Kingdom to achieve great victories. And if you look at the long sweep of history, every time something big happens for the world, every time a great victory is won for freedom and for peace and for prosperity, it is almost always the Brits and the Americans that do it together, and we win every single time we go to war together.”
