#JDVance is speaking in Washington at the #MunichLeaders Meeting, a #GlobalSecurity conference. “I do still very much believe that the #UnitedStates & #Europe are on the same team,” Vance said. “The same *civilizational* team.” [whatever that means] #Vance said he thought it was “completely ridiculous to think that you’re ever going to be able to drive a firm wedge between the United States & Europe.”

#JDVance told a gathering of #GlobalSecurity officials in Washington that #Russia had determined that a 30-day #ceasefire with #Ukraine was not in its “strategic interest,” suggesting that was the reason the #Trump admin had changed its focus beyond an “obsession” with a 1-month pause.

"In two months, the United States has experienced the worst outbreak of measles in decades. The stock markets have suffered heavy losses. Prices of household items and food have risen.

In two months, the United States has become more of a pariah than a partner concerning human rights, global security, environmental protection, and goodwill."

#Trump admin considers giving up #NATO command that has been exclusively American since Eisenhower.

The #Pentagon is undertaking a significant restructuring of the #US #military’s combatant commands & headquarters. And one of the plans under consideration, two defense officials said, would involve the US giving up the role of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe — known within military parlance as the #SACEUR.

Back to London…

#Starmer opened the #summit of #Europe’s leaders in London w/ #Macron & #Zelensky seated beside him. “We’re gathered here today because this is a once in a generation moment for the #security of Europe, & we all need to step up,” Starmer told the assembled leaders. “Getting a good outcome for #Ukraine is not just a matter of right & wrong, it’s vital for the security of every nation here & many others too.”

V Spehar, the voice behind #UndertheDeskNews, breaks down global security updates from the #MunichConference. As tensions rise, #Ukraine rejects any peace deal they weren’t part of, while #Europe considers forming a joint military force amid uncertainty over future U.S. support. With #Trump’s stance on #NATO and reported demands for #Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, America’s global influence is at stake. Meanwhile, concerns grow over security leaks, including claims that Elon Musk exposed intelligence assets. Stay informed—this story is far from over.
