Vance is one of Trump’s most vocal supporters and an outspoken critic of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

. . .

Vance has said that it would be “completely irresponsible” for Ukraine to join NATO. He has also argued for the U.S. to focus solely on preventing Chinese expansion, even if that means sacrificing sovereign Ukrainian lands to Russia.

“Any peace settlement is going to require some significant territorial concessions from Ukraine, and you’re gonna have a peace deal, because that’s the only way out of the conflict,” Vance said in February.

      When a war will break out on your land, don’t fight back, don’t ask for help. Surrender everything to anyone, because you don’t want a slaughter even if it means getting everything stolen, including your freedom, your identity and your civil liberties, right?

        Fighting back makes them a terrorist.

        Unless the land is strategically advantageous to America then they are freedom fighters.

          Why hand an easy win to putin so that he can continue rolling over democracies and vomiting more genocides in order to use their populations to further destroy democracies and commit more cultural genocides? Do you want as many authoritarian countries as possible?

          So should Poland, the Baltics, Germany and so on? The whole Europe should crumble to the US’ enemies? How can it be in the American best interest?

              So now all EU countries need to develop and store their own nuclear weapons since the nuclear umbrella provided by the U.S. is gone. This would be the largest proliferation of nukes in generations.

          They’re only in danger because we took their nukes. They literally left themselves defenseless under the agreement that we would serve as their alternative.

          Do you actually believe that Americans are singlehandedly funding Ukraine’s defence?
