GOP Senate candidate JD Vance said he doesn't 'really care what happens to Ukraine'
Business Insider ^ | 2/20/22 | Kelsey Vlamis

JD Vance, a Republican running for US Senate in Ohio, said he's not particularly interested in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

"I gotta be honest with you, I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another," Vance said on an episode of Steve Bannon's War Room.

"I do care about the fact that in my community right now the leading cause of death among 18-45-year-olds is Mexican fentanyl that's coming across the southern border."

not wanting to get into a war with a nation isn’t the same thing as “not caring what happens” there.

seems like what happens there matters a great deal.

#25: "Will he be able bring Ohio’s electoral votes with him?"

The people growing up in the Ohio River Valley share the same experiences as J.D. Vance. The same issues affect all those states.

How “statesman like” was Trump when he started out? If I recall, not very.

Actually, he shouldn’t say that.

He should explain how he feels ZERO compunction or responsibility to follow the asinine and dangerous Ukraine policies of his predecessors.

Ukraine is a Christian nation.

And so is Russia. Satan gets all the credit for pitting two Christian nations against each other.

With a great deal of help from the US military-industrial complex.

Nobody should give a shit about a corrupt spit of land the size of Texas, that sits 5,000 miles away, and has no national security interest to the U.S. whatsoever. The RATS are trying to turn Texas blue, yet we’re supposed to be concerned about an overseas country that has made politicians on both sides of the aisle here very rich.

The Ukrainians should not have trusted the Deep State. One look at how the Deep State has been treating Americans should have clued the Ukrainians in that they could expect the same treatment.

ICAM! Especially since Europe is still largely sheltered by Uncle Sam’s military and nuclear umbrella. IIRC

Remember when Czechoslovakia rebelled against the Soviet Union, and the Soviets sent tanks in to end the uprising? And we did nothing because we didn’t want to start world War 3?

Remember when the exact thing happened when Hungary rebelled against the Soviet Union?

Remember when Reagan said “Mr Gorbachev tear down that wall”, and called the Soviet Union an evil empire? And Liberals said he was going to start world War 3 just from those comments?

But now it’s okay for us to treat Ukraine like it’s the 51st state, because the Soviet Union no longer exists, even though Russia has the same amount of nuclear weapons that they had before?

We’re not risking world War 3 anymore, because it’s no longer the Soviet Union, and we no longer push the Cold War propaganda? And now that it’s just Russia, we can just say “Putin’s a bad dude, and he needs to go, and maybe we can get the Russian people to rise up against him”?

It’s sick how people can be manipulated into going along with this absolute madness!

The US and the EU are 100% to blame for pushing Putin to invade Ukraine. They kept pushing NATO further and further Eastward, after initially promising not to move it 1 inch further Eastward.

SCREW UKRAINE! My grandparents fled there during the anti-jewish pogroms. My great-grandmother was raped and killed during a pogrom. And I don’t care if Zelensky is Jewish. I hate that little globalist puppet’s guts.
