Well ironically he's right about that, Europe should have put a stop to the warmongering of Bush Jr and his little toothless puppy dog Tony Blair. That war should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.
~~What's the name for this type of news just meant to anger? But if it makes us dislike the US more, maybe I'm for it? ~~
After reading the article, he is right. The title is just shit
US Vice President JD Vance called on Europe to show greater independence in an interview published on Tuesday, urging countries not to be "US vassals."
The subtext to "don't be vassals" is a hearty "fuck off". And that's basically all he meant to say, I suspect. And tbh, I am starting to question whether his advice of forging a European path is actually good, given who it's coming from. Otoh, there is an angle from which European armament could be profitable to him, and that is US arms sales.
