JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.
What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.

Here's an example just from today of how closely Elon Musk is aligned to ideas propagated by Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt.
Musk says that people vote for elected representatives who "decide their will." Nothing else matters. (no courts, no bureaucracy)
Schmitt says...exactly the same thing.

![• The White House t @WhiteHouse • 7h "If the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives, by the form of the President, the Senate, and

... Q: "Your detractors...say that you're orchestrating a hostile takeover of government and doing it in a non-transparent way. What's your response
to that criticism?" Elon Musk: "The people voted for major government reform and that's
what people are going to get."
Legality and Legitimacy: The people can only respond yes or no. They cannot advise, deliberate, or discuss. They cannot set norms, but can only sanction norms by consenting to draft sets of norms laid before them. Above all, they also cannot pose a question, but can only answer with yes or no to a question placed before them ... In terms of its significance, the process is no
longer an election, but rather a plebiscite (Schmitt, 2004 (1932], p. 90).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bzmqhn2kitn54dshsf35oj2a/bafkreid6wbnyvwtzddxihmwkf3km3m5csaj7ftkhiwvomynhmunnwksuc4@jpeg)
