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.

        It’s pretty cringy to have these 16 year old type beliefs as someone much older than that.

          Well, unlike you I don’t believe it’s the pinnacle of adulthood either to outsource your conscience to parties that take no responsibility for their policies.

              I think you talking down to fellow adults like children says a lot about how you view not only adults, but children too.

              I sincerely hope you don’t do that in real life.
