Vice President JD Vance on Sunday attributed President Donald Trump’s recent change in attitude toward the Russian-Ukrainian war to the loss of human life and the impact to Russia’s economy.
“The Russian economy is in shambles. The Russians are not gaining much on the battlefield. It’s clearly time for them to listen to his passionate plea for them to come to the table and actually talk seriously about peace,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that aired on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I think what has changed is the reality on the ground, with the Russians killing a lot of people and losing a lot of people and they don’t have much to show for it,” he added.

“What we have seen over the last couple weeks, the Russians have refused to sit down with any bilateral meetings with Ukrainians. They have refused to sit down with any trilateral meetings,” Vance said. “A lot of people are dying and they don’t have a lot to show for it. How many more people are they willing to lose? How many people are they willing to kill for very little, if any, gain in the military advantage on the ground there?”
Vance on Sunday stopped short of saying he would support sending Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine, which Zelenskyy reportedly asked Trump for during their meeting at the United Nations.

“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.”

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $4k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Get on the Free Republic donations train, freeploadusmaximus.
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
Why no marcusmaximus? Wha happen?
Like a rock, deadbeatusmaximus stands against donating a cent to the forum he's trying to disrupt with his spam.
First Belgorod. Is Kazan Tatarstan next?
Thanks for being a perennial Free Republic donor, Saxxon Woods - unlike deadbeatusfreeploadusmaximus, who doesn't contribute ANYTHING but spam and blogpimping to Free Republic!
How about getting on the FR donations train, freeploadusmaximus? Or are you just going to keep spamming and blogpimpink on the Robinsons' dime till everyone gets sick of it?
DITSF - Deep In The Spam Forest...
I don’t see either side willing to stop what they’ve been doing. I hope they destroy each other, taking all of Europe and NATO down with them. No US involvement of any kind in the aftermath.
Pokrovsk and Mirnograd Surrounded – Ukrainian Army on Its Knees
Wha happen?
Jump on the Free Republic donations train, freeploadusmaximus.
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
Many of us prefer to support FR anonymously. Don’t know why that never occurred to you. Oh wait - you’re a filthy propagandist and don’t care.
Ukraine just knocked out the thermal power plant in Belgorod this morning
—————-
Not so smart, now Vlad can repay the “favor” by putting all of Ukraine in the dark, from Lvov in the West to the East.
If you haven’t heard, he just put all the electric train sub stations along Transnistria in the dark, shutting down the rail traffic in the Southwest.
When do they learn? St Z hits one powerplant, then Vlad shuts down the entire country…
“”””” Vlad can repay the “favor” by putting all of Ukraine in the dark, from Lvov in the West to the East.”””””
I believe the first couple of years was like that, Ukraine being without electricity was the normal status and was posted on a lot here at FR.
I always hear that dodge from abusive FR trolls. It's par for the course.
Amd if you didn't realize it, "marcusmaximus" IS an anonymous account.
You're mucus's second boyfriend that's ridden to the rescue. Do you know that you're getting two-timed?
Thanks for supporting Free Republic in Q3 of 2010, BTW.
Nice --- "...a post both rambling and incoherent. Your phony, forced pedantry is wearing thin. Now you just sound just like Kamala."
That skin of yours sure is thin.
What's most amusing to me is that, when you or anyone make a comment, among other advice from the site owners is "NO personal attacks...."
So, to another on this thread you made a personal attack, "you're a filthy propagandist."
Just can't help yourself. Alas, I've thick skin.
Oh, yeah, as to Harris, she was endorsed by your kind of Republican.
I'll stick with the Trump-Vance administration. Thanks anyway.
Looks like.

Just a word to the wise, Kazan - mucus's boyfriends will be after you, because they want the free Spam Train from Ukraine to continue.
You must be over the target, because you’ve raised the hackles of A Pair of Panties Maximus, marcus’s white knight. 😉😂😂
