Fundamental rift between US and EU opens up in Munich (www.dw.com)

At the Munich Security Conference, the "shared values" so frequently invoked by Europeans were called into question by US Vice President JD Vance. So do the US and Europe still speak the same language?

That's a fair analysis.

However, does not have any track record on handling Russia or US in any meaningful sense of the word. How are people expecting EU to do both of these things now?

The whole thing looks like a charade. Such geo political posture requires some credibility of hard power.

You want to see hard power get into play? You want outright military threats/conflict with the EU?

Nuke yourselves.
