3:28Now PlayingTwice now, major powers have chosen a conference in Munich to deliver speeches that dramatically changed the architecture of global security. In 2007, Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would no longer follow rules set by the West and would treat the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a hostile force. This weekend, the US served similar notice on its own allies, in a shock for Europeans that has left the trans-Atlantic alliance clinically dead.
US Vice President JD Vance’s speech dripped with contempt for those in the room and offered a series of messages that are likely to alter Europe’s security outlook as much as Putin’s did 18 years ago. The ensuing transformation produced three wars (Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014 and 2022), a rewiring of European energy markets and international institutions and a new military bloc for Moscow that includes China, Iran and North Korea.
Bloomberg Opinion international affairs columnist Marc Champion further details the vast implications of the vice president's remarks and where Western Europe's key powers go from here when it comes to defense and military support. Marc speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio.
