Vice President Vance Mocks UK: A 30-Year Peace Period
On March 4, 2025, U.S. Vice President JD Vance faced significant backlash after making dismissive comments about the United Kingdom and France. During an interview on Fox News, Vance mocked the idea of deploying “20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years” to Ukraine, suggesting such forces wouldn’t deter Russian aggression.
Although Vance did not explicitly name the UK or France, his remarks were widely interpreted as a critique of these nations, both of which have recently engaged in military operations alongside U.S. forces.
The comments prompted strong reactions from British officials, including veterans and military leaders, who deemed Vance’s statements “deeply disrespectful” and a disregard for the sacrifices made by British soldiers in conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan.
In response to the criticism, Vice President Vance denied targeting the UK and France, stating he did not intend to mock these countries. He emphasized that his comments were directed at the broader concept of deploying forces from nations without recent combat experience.
