JD Vance Upsets Libs By Talking About Ending The Russia-Ukraine War

Posted • October 26, 2024: J.D. Vance went on News Nation for an interview and talked about the situation in Ukraine, noting that "Russia shouldn't have invaded Ukraine in the first place." Republicans Against Trump posted a clip that they must have believed made Vance look like a Russia sympathizer for saying it was in the interest of America and Russia and Ukraine for the killing to stop.

JD Vance criticizes “American leaders” who pick a side in the war in Ukraine: “Unfortunately, you got a lot of American leaders who like to beat their chest and say; this [Ukraine] is the good guy and this [Russia] is the bad guy.” The conscience of the New York Times, David French, chimed in to clarify that Russia is indeed the bad guy in this war, and Ukraine is the good guy. David French @DavidAFrench: “Ukraine is the good guy and Russia is the bad guy. That’s basic moral clarity. If Russia succeeds, it’s bad for the United States. That’s basic strategic clarity.”

Under the Obama administration, we initiated a Ukraine coup when the citizens elected a pro-Russia administration. Are you sure we are the good guys? Ukrainians are good people; their leaders remain suspect. The same Ukraine that suspended their election? -- That’s not what he said. He said the continued toll of that human meat grinder being operated to fill pockets like those of John Kelly, Larry Fink and many other self-interested “elites,” is not a war that serves the interests of the vast majority of Americans nor the American HOMELAND. He said so twice. He was clear that Russia is the aggressor and in the wrong. He also said we need to stop the war before it claims more lives and causes second-order effects. If you’re picking at his argument here, you’re willfully mishearing him. (…)
