"One of the things I'm proudest that we've done in this administration is we've told Europe that if you want to buy weapons, you can, but the United States is not buying weapons and sending them to Ukraine anymore," Vance said.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration’s top achievements.

Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.

“And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war,” Vance said.

    People not wanting blood on their hands is not an endorsement of Republicans doing more of the same.

    The only reason you even frame it like that is because you can’t defend a party of mass murderers on their own merits, so you have to compare them to Republicans to absolve your own complicity.

      Children… 😞

      Didn’t Mom and Dad teach you about the US system of government? That a vote is for a better option not a perfect option? That you’re voting for the public benefit? That it’s sometimes about just keeping things from getting worse?

      “I didn’t vote” means your didn’t do even the bare minimum thing you could have done to have stopped Trump. You’re culpable.

        I won’t be talked down to by people who are fine with the mass slaughter of children. You voted for that. That makes you culpable, so go fuck yourself.
