In a powerful show of solidarity, Vice President Vance addressed American troops stationed at Fairford Base in England today, emphasizing the enduring alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom. His speech came amid escalating tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, underscoring the critical role of military cooperation in ensuring global peace and security.

Vance, speaking passionately on behalf of the Pathfinders and the Red Dragon forces, highlighted the century-long partnership forged through shared victories in war and diplomacy. “Every time something big happens for the world, it is almost always the Brits and the Americans doing it together,” he declared, rallying the troops with a message of pride and gratitude.

With the war in Ukraine intensifying, the Vice President reiterated the importance of military readiness, stating, “You make it possible for us to accomplish the president’s goals through negotiation.” He underscored that the strength of the U.S. military is crucial in diplomatic efforts, providing leverage in high-stakes discussions with world leaders.

Vance’s visit also followed a significant meeting with the UK’s Foreign Secretary, where they discussed shared security goals in Europe, particularly the urgent need to bring an end to the conflict with Russia. “It is impossible to bring peace anywhere unless the bad guys are worried,” he asserted, reinforcing the message that military power underpins diplomatic initiatives.

As tensions rise globally, Vance’s address served as a rallying cry for the troops, reminding them of their vital role in safeguarding freedom and prosperity. “We are proud of you. We are grateful for you,” he said, echoing the sentiments of a nation that relies on their courage and commitment. The Vice President’s visit not only highlights the strength of the U.S.-UK alliance but also serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in the pursuit of peace.
