Europe at risk of ‘engaging in civilizational suicide’, says US Vice-President Vance US Vice President JD #Vance has told Fox News that European countries are at risk of "engaging in #civilizational #suicide," being unable to control their borders and limiting their citizens’ free speech. "#Europe is at risk, I think, of creating, of engaging in civilizational suicide. They are unable to or unwilling - too many countries - to control their borders. You see them starting to push back against that, and good. That's a good thing. You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens, even as those citizens are protesting against things like the border invasion. That [protest sentiment] got Donald Trump and a number of European leaders elected," the vice president noted. According to him, the policy of open borders and the limitations of citizens’ rights are becoming a serious issue for European countries.
