“That will just impose enormous costs on all Western countries.”

JD Vance’s ‘abandonment’ of foreign policy in Ukraine will lead to the emboldening of China, Iran and Russia, says former foreign secretary William Hague.

  12. "We need to tone down and come together", from the same people cheering the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, Trumps kid even posted a pic of a hammer and underwear claiming he was doing Halloween as Nancy Pelosi's husband. They consistently prove themselves to be whiny little snowflakes with no morality.

  13. My read of the Trump and Vance position on the Ukraine is a little different. Their position is not that they wouldn’t support Ukraine at all but that European NATO members who have not been living up to their financial or military commitments geopolitically have a more urgent interest in supporting Ukraine.

    They want the European’s to step up to the plate and meet their contractual treaty commitments rather than have the U.S., which has its own financial problems, bear the majority of the burden of supporting Ukraine. Facially, it is not an unreasonable position.

  17. Trump's criticism of Nato is that a far away nation in another continent, who can be completely isolationist if it wants is asked to pay for everything. If you look at the percentage gdp that Germany or Spain or Italy give, it is paltry compared with what the US is asked to give, to defend other countries, across a wide ocean, in another continent. The US has been criticised forever for making itself "the worlds policeman." Well, maybe trump does not want to be the worlds policeman anymore.
    But youtube will delete my comment anyway, so what is the point?

  24. Not bothered what sort of politician is he, no heart what about the Ukrainian people do they not deserve to live in a democracy instead of putins dictatorship.

  25. JD Vance flip flops more than flip flops. C'mon man.
    Why would Trump humiliate the U.S. military by losing in Ukraine?
    He's not.
    Go ask Joe Biden what happens when you humiliate America.
    Biden's poll number imploded and NEVER recovered because of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
    Trump wants a STRONGER NATO.

  28. Unlikely Vance could find Ukraine on world map 5 years ago. Like most Americans very naive and ignorant on anything outside of the USA.

  31. he says that the biggest concern in these presidential elections is the Ukrainian problem lol. Not price increases, the border with Mexico, migrant crimes, Democrats are only interested in Ukraine and not the Americans. By voting for the Democrats, you are voting for Ukraine, but not for the US
