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.

    This administration is so dumb and impossible to like, that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Even the MAGA base is getting alienated by them. This is a colossal achievement to make these below the curve morons realize who they really are.

    Really? He wasn’t more proud of that time he lumbered through Greenland wilderness yelling “MY BOSS WANTS TO BUY THIS PLACE” in his best trust fund voice? He’s got to say “MY BOSS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IF HE DOESN’T LIKE YOU, YOU’LL BE SO SORRY” to so many heads of state. But I guess he got on TV that time so he can watch it over and over again.

      I said it before and I’ll say it again, no matter what Trump or the Republicans do when it’s time to go to the polls every single Republican voter will grind their teeth, pick up the marker, a vote for Trump and the Republicans because “Well at least he’s not a Democrat.” Then once the results are out Democrats will be shocked to see that they lost to the Republicans again.

    He doesn’t realize that even if he is 100% correct, that’s the lowest bar achieved by any administration in history.

    but sometimes I think he has to be in on the joke, he’s sold out long ago 100%, but he is self-aware

    then I remember I am always wrong so it must be opposite

    I was 100% sure Trump would lose second election, man I have no idea what is real anymore

    Just Dumb and the MAGA fucks continue to break the 1994 Budapest Agreement. If the USA requests you to get rid of your nuclear insurance policy, tell them to f-off.

      they’re not really breaking Budapest memorandum (not that they wouldn’t break any treaty in a heartbeat) because it did not say the other signatories would have to defend Ukraine from anyone else. It’s still a bad precedent for nuclear disarmament of course but then again the Trump administration has done every fucking thing they can to make literally every country in the world want nuclear weapons now because they’ve completely broken the old order where countries had at least some faith in USA mostly upholding and abiding by international law and supporting their supposed allies.
