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.
"Non interventionist
“Fully supports israel”
Meme candidates gonna meme
Another Russian stoogie.
Not everyone who disagrees with war or your position on it is deep throating Putin.
But someone that blatantly argues for Russia’s benefit probably has some ulterior motives. Doesn’t have to be deep throating Putin, money will probably do.
They have Putin’s cock firmly up their ass but they tell themselves it’s just a turd.
Some of them just hate Ukranians for no reason?
Not wanting to fund a war doesn’t mean they hate Ukraine or it’s citizens.
Okay, let me walk you through this.
You see a kid down on the floor being kicked by a bully.
Your ‘solution’ is to not intervene, because you’re ‘against violence’ ?
Fucking logic.
Right!
Except the kid is across the world, and we don’t know them very well. Last we heard, they were one of the worst children in the world. Instead of asking the neighbors to pool money to build a boat to go save this kid, you go to all your neighbors and steal that money.
Fuckin’ a logic.
Oh, so you do hate the kid.
That clears it up, thanks.
You’re welcome, glad you could put more words in my mouth.

I’ve been on the outside observing this escalating shit show for 8 years now and I think I’ve finally reached the point where I don’t even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.
I mean, I know there’s a lot of history behind it etc., but just the past months? I don’t even…
I hope shit gets better for ya’ll, I sincerely do.
don’t even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.
It’s just fascism, volks.
Don’t worry. It won’t. As an American, I too have reached that point as well.
Still rooting for all the millions of you that I know are awesome people, but …yeah.
Don’t worry about it, a lot of us in the US feel the same. I’m just tired, boss.
Putin is behind all of it
He’s not. He didn’t put a gun to the head of the judges que made the president immune to prosecution. He didn’t punt a gun to the politicians denying climate change. He didn’t call on Trump’s followers to storm the US capitol. All of that was the US and it’s people.
Putin was probably just cheerleading his puppets as it all happened. But make no mistake, seeds only grow in fertile soil.
I’m Finnish, so if there’s one thing I’m aware of it is Putin and his various machinations.
This presupposes he believes in anything. I haven’t read it because everyone said it was garbage but I’m pretty sure he wrote his memoir about “Appalachia” when he grew up near Dayton, OH.
He also cosplayed a poor person to speak to rich people about how “We poor people have horrible habits!” in what I can only refer to as a minstrel show for the privileged.
That’s a pretty good description.

I haven’t read it either. There is however a If Books Could Kill episode about it that is very worth listening to.
I find it weird that his teacher pushed him to write his memoires in college. Who writes his memoires this early and why would a teacher push him to?
I read it. It was not garbage, it contains useful insights. I recommend that people read it to understand politics. BUT, NOTE, CAVEAT: Approach it with your critical thinking cap on. The author is an unreliable narrator, which is unorthodox in a work of non-fiction.
“Unreliable narrator […] in a work of non-fiction” is a fascinating way to say, “liar”.
HERE COME THE FUCKING TANKIES
Tankies hate JD Vance too. The only reason he wants peace in Ukraine is to start shit with China. We tankies don’t want to make peace in one place just to fight somewhere else, we want peace and deescalation all over the globe.
Okay that’s cool, what about Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea, out there starting shit with everyone?
If you just give them what they want, they go away. Simples 🤦
Appeasement. 60% of the time it works every time.
…which is basically enabling imperialism.
It’s wild how eager people are to look at the exact same people who lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan and say, “Yeah, I trust them to have the people’s best interests at heart when they lead us into another conflict.”
Not everybody on Lemmy is American and bound to American news. Some of us live near russia and know first-hand about what it is and what it isn’t.
I know, you americans are really good at “doing your own research”.
Not everyone who went into Iraq or Afghanistan was an American either, the leaders of plenty of other countries supported it too.
Also we’re talking about American politician JD Vance and what he wants to do regarding US foreign policy, so the history of US foreign policy is obviously relevant.
I’m not talking about JD Vance. I’m talking about very convenient to tankies and ruskies “we want peace and deescalation” when Ukraine is devoured by an imperialist, authoritarian shithead.
But again, you’re a self-proclaimed tankie, of course your gobbling authoritarian dick.
Can’t think of a time in history where both sides in a war didn’t claim it was about defense and security, whether it was or not. I remember when they said “Either we fight them over there or we’ll have to fight them here,” and went off to kill a million people in the Middle East, and then they lost, and now, where are all the terror attacks they said would happen? I remember too (though I’m not old enough to have lived through it) when they said if we didn’t go out and kill 4 million people in Vietnam, they’d keep expanding all over and eventually we’d be fighting them here. Well, we lost that one too, and nothing bad happened afterward. So forgive me if I’m just a little bit skeptical of the latest pretext for pouring ridiculous sums of money into the pockets of defense contractors so the rich can get richer while our schools, roads, and hospitals decline further and further into dysfunction.
I am a tankie, yes, because tankies seem to be the only people interested in spending less money on tanks and more on human wellbeing.
Putins favorite, JD Vance.
Its very easy to see that Putin is running the GOP.
At this point it looks like they are competing on who in the GOP can suck up to the russians the most
Oh look, he shaved his beard for Daddy Trump. Wouldn’t want Dear Leader to disapprove of your facial hair now would we, Jay Dee?
He has to continue his twink transition. He’s obviously the bottom in this relationship.
I’m not complaining. Only way I’d be happier with his VP pick is if he took up Rubio and forced him to give up Florida.
Vance is also a snake and he’ll backstab the orange man at some point most likely.
Vance is a cuck. He was a harsh critic of Trump until he wasn’t.
I don’t see how Vance gets Trump any extra votes. They appear to attract the same kind of people.
If they win, it gets Vance out of my state. Which is fine (I voted for Tim Ryan).
Vance is there so Trump can scapegoat him for handing Putin everything he wants, that’s about it.
Vance is a cuck.
Politics aside, are we shaming people for their sexual kinks now, if they’re not harming anybody?
Those who want to ban my kinks should not have theirs respected
Unless their kink id humiliation, then theyre 100% valid
Ordinarily yes, but the second you try to ban porn or gay people, your fetishes no longer deserve respect and neither do you.
The joke was that people with a humiliation kink would want to be disparaged, so “respecting” them is giving them not what they want

Yes.
I’ll give you whatever answer you want in the hopes you’ll go away.
This is Trump’s exact stance as well. He’s been VERY clear about this, but idiots in the conservative camp seem to deliberately ignore it.
🤮
how does he always look like he’s like 3 days into a binge drinking session?
Does J stand for Junk?
JustSuckingPutinsCock
Wait why isn’t Mike pence vp? Am I OOTL?
Umm, very. Look up “hang Mike Pence”
The article says he supported Biden winning. Oh noooooo a fair and equal election, no wayyy
Oh no, the guy said no to Trump refusing to break the law during the January 6th “oopsie treason failed uprising” so he burned that bridge.
Can’t have people blatantly respecting democracy and the rule of law, that’s not how the possible future felon-in-chief rolls. (But yet somehow it’s the democrats inciting violence against him, hum.)
I thought the maggots wanted to leave NATO.
