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.

    I’m not going anywhere. I will call out US imperialism and colonialism every chance that I get and I will stand against anybody defending that imperialism.

      Russia invades its neighbour, unprovoked, explicitly to seize their agreed sovereign territory

      “Why would America do this?”

          I mean, that’s straight up not true lol

          Your claim is that Ukraine - while not at war - was bombing itself? And that would be a legitimate casus belli for Russia to invade them, and then seize that territory for themselves?

          That’s a batshit insane take

              Oh silly me, your argument is even worse than I thought!

              So the “bombing the Donbas” you’re talking about is the previous time Russia declared an unprovoked war against them!

              “Russia had to invade, because last time they invaded, the Ukrainians fought back. Those bastards!”

              Edit: as an aside, you somehow still managed to be entirely wrong, despite not even saying anything in your reply directly - the internet isn’t free, it’s extraordinarily expensive to run, and costs the consumer to use their ISP, too!

      Though your misinformation campaign is off to a VERY good start, I’m afraid that it bodes badly for anyone taking you seriously enough to consider anything you say as resembling a point, let alone a good one.

      My favorite was when you tried to say that Pelosi and Schiff demanded that Biden step down, and when I proved you wrong with direct quotes-

      You ran away.

        I didnt think I ever said anything about Schiff or Pelosi, and after going over my history I was right. If you have not caught on I could not care less what someone else thinks of me.

          Ahhhh… right. That wasn’t you. I get you all confused. Same message, same….

          Anyway-

          It was you though, that admitted you were here to disrupt an election. Haven’t forgotten that part.

          And it’s just as stupid.

            The disrupting election bullshit is your terminology. I’m simply telling people they don’t have to vote for a fascist. They should feel entitled to vote who they want to see in government. They should not feel trapped into a duopoly that does not represent their interests

              Oh come on now… don’t try and paint over it. What you said was:

              I actively encourage anyone to withhold a vote from Trump or Biden

              Actively- Encourage.

              You are urging people to NOT to vote.

              THAT IS DISRUPTING AN ELECTION.
