Vance saying Europe should've done more to stop his nation from going to war has a high levels of rapist blaming victim for their acts energy.

I was young back then so my memory of the details as i've experienced them are somewhat blurred, but there definitely was opposition. And that was met with statements along the lines of "if you're not with us you're against us/part of the problem".
