听说欧洲要组建维和部队，搅屎棍急眼了
A spokesperson for US vice-president JD Vance appeared to double down on his much-criticized remark describing a planned European peacekeeping force in Ukraine as 20,000 troops from some “random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
Vance was accused of being disrespectful to the UK and France. Several British politicians called the comments “deeply disrespectful” and Vance a “clown” while French president Emmanuel Macron’s party said France “deserved better”.
Now a spokesperson for Vance, Taylor Van Kirk, said no country in Europe had the military resources to meaningfully deter Russia without American assistance.
Van Kirk said on Tuesday: “Many of these countries have served valiantly in support of American and Nato missions in the past, but it’s dishonest to pretend those contributions amount to anything comparable to the mobilization that a hypothetical European army would need.”
Vance had told Fox News on Monday that the best way to ensure peace in Ukraine was to open up Ukraine’s minerals to the US.
“If you want to actually ensure that (Russian President) Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine,” he said. “That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”
