JD Vance: US 'foreign misadventures' led to 'eradication' of historic Christian communities

WASHINGTON — Vice President J.D. Vance told a gathering of Catholics Friday that "foreign misadventures" have led to "the eradication of historical Christian communities" worldwide.

Vance, a practicing Catholic, addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 people gathered at the 20th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. While Vance attended the annual event last year in his capacity as a U.S. senator, this marked his first time partaking in the event as vice president. He took office with President Donald Trump last month.

"We have turned a new page in Washington, D.C. and we are going to take advantage of the opportunity that God has given us," he said. "President Trump, though not a Catholic himself, has been an incredibly good president for Catholics in the United States of America."

I think JD Vance is right on the money. The insatiable attitude of the USA to spread 'Liberal Democracy' and ensure a total world hegemony in places like the Middle East (where it does not belong) has contributed to instability and difficulty for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East. Though blame cannot be placed purely on the USA as the legacy of betraying middle Eastern Christians goes as far back to the British Empire.
