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.

    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.

        Americans are fine with foreign kids dying and committing a genocide elsewhere, they draw the line when their rights are under threat.

          They love empire. Every second of it. In their minds the worst thing about imperialism is not the extraction of resources nor the mass slaughter of women and children, but that every once in a while the other imperialist party gets to take credit for it too.
