He's a fascist, and is disgusted by European Social Democracy. This is why they're aligning the US with Russia, because they're a fellow fascist oligarchy.
It's really not that complicated.

Is it that he's a cunt?

All signs point to yes.

It's a southern thing, it enrages them that the coasts respect European culture while considering them backwards hicks, and that europeans aren't devoutly Christian like southerners believe everyone should be.
The ruling class down there encourage this as an easily manufactured enemy to illustrate how evil a liberal atheist, moderately socialist culture is.

JD Vance is from Ohio, he's not a Southern.

I know several people who never crossed mason dixine line with southern accents and confederate flags. Like live we near candian border. Wtf?

He is from the Cincinnati area, which borders Kentucky, and he spent some of his youth in Kentucky. Not a proper southerner, but from the gradient where North becomes South.

Thing is, even devoutly Christians in Europe can't relate to their US equivalents. They're way different.

Could be that he just wants to be cool, one of the gang, saying what he thinks is cool right now. He is building his identity in the group.

It's because he's a massive cunt. It's been scientifically proven on multiple occasions. He also is a dirty little couchfucker. Don't believe a word he says.

I think one of the core issues is that the heterosectional has the moral compass of a windsock

Imo it was staged, like the meeting with Zelensky They dont care, there is no major plan, or intentions to make america better or whatever. They are following orders from other countries
-
He reminds me Ben Shapiro
-
Europe is gay and Putin is anti-woke

Judging by the language and behaviour we've seen so far; I doubt it's at all sophisticated. 'Might is right' and the US should belittle and subjugate others because they can - it's their right and furthermore their duty to the American people! In other words, he's probably a straightforward imperialist.
I don't know the guy though so if anyone can add nuance to that I'd be glad to understand better. If his true feelings are benevolent towards Europe and he's 'merely' frustrated that they're not pulling their weight militarily, then he's got a ham-fisted and harmful way of showing it.
He probably can't grasp how much return the US was getting out of their geopolitical position. Same with the tariffs and humanitarian aid.
I've always been curious exactly how much the US benefited from their geopolitical position. I suspect it's a huge amount and I guess now we'll get to find out.
It's interesting that the budget of the American military includes social security and retirement plabs, while the europeans don't.
When you say "Europeans don't" which country are you referring to exactly?
