1. “Between 1974 and 1980, while the United States wallowed in post-Vietnam angst, 10 countries had fallen into the Soviet orbit: South Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Yemen, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Grenada and Afghanistan. Never had the Soviets lost an inch of real estate to the West. The Brezhnev Doctrine stated simply that once a country went Communist, it would stay Communist.

4. Europe is hardly worth defending, Vance declared, if it continues on its present slide into the autocratic abyss.
That’s no small accusation, but Vance came with receipts: Eurocrats annulling a Romanian election whose result they didn’t like; a German recently raided for “anti-feminist” posts; a Swedish activist convicted for Quran burnings; a British veteran fined for silent prayer near an abortion clinic — his list went on.
5. Vance’s greatest gripe? Leaders across the European continent ignoring the will of voters on the hot topic of mass migration.
Tragically proving his point, just a day earlier in the very city where Vance gave his speech, 37 Germans had been mown down by an Afghan jihadi, and a mother and daughter killed.
“What no democracy — American, German, or European — will survive, is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief, are invalid or unworthy of even being considered,” Vance said. “Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There is no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don’t.”
