Pence says there's 'no room' in GOP leadership 'for apologists for Putin'

Former Vice President Mike Pence condemned "apologists" for Russian President Vladimir Putin within the Republican Party, an indirect dig at former President Donald Trump, during a foreign policy address delivered on the first anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine.

"While some in my party have taken a somewhat different view, let me be clear," he told the University of Texas at Austin's Clements Center for National Security Friday. "There can be no room in the leadership of the Republican Party for apologists for Putin. There can only be room for champions of freedom."

Pence described Russia's war in Ukraine as "unprovoked" and "unconscionable," noting more than 300,000 people have been killed and "millions more" have been forced to flee their homes during the conflict.

"Beyond the courage of the Ukrainian people, we've also seen free nations of the world unite to stand with the Ukrainian people and stand up the Russian aggression," he said. "We will not stop providing [vital military aid] until victory is achieved."

I have a question about nuclear deterrence. US thinking has been that no nuclear "victory" will ever be worth the price of the destructive nuclear retaliation that will come from a first devastating blow against your cities and economies. But what happens if you are facing a great global imperial evil that undermines the possiblity of civil society or remunerative enterprise, turns peaceful neighbors into squalling enclaves of civil unrest and otherwise uses the bankign system to sponge off the whole world.

Can such an entity deter its own nuclear annihilation by posing a threat of a swift counterblow. Can the evil such an entity represents create such fear and loathing that it undermines the fear of retaliation that it depends upon for its depradations on the world.

How can such an entity tell that it has pushed so far that it's deterrent is now a pointless gesture in the effort to save itself from the world annihilation that it's nihilistic culture is striving?

Are you reaching that point when the other two great nuclear powers point out that you are the threat to world peace directly participating in endless war for well over a century? Are you straining the world's patience when asking "give peace a chance" you have engaged in endless war, with barely a pause?

So he is basically saying that because one doesn’t want to send billions to Ukraine to support what must be the world’s most dangerous blackmail database, one is a Putin apologist?

Nuts!

There is no room for neocons in the Republican, let alone in leadership. They must be expelled or the Republican party must die.

what’s our next global ever war expansionist move?

Breaking up Russia into smaller corrupt countries they can suck money and resources out of and then taking on China.

These idiots in their echo chamber - no one is apologizing for Putin.

Opposing US involvement in Ukraine is NOT an endorsement of Putin or Russia.

Now that I think about it, the demonic illegal usurper Obama aka Soerto also used to say “Let me be clear!” all the time.

During the Trump-Pence administration, Vladimir Putin never attempted redrawing international lines by force,"

Mafia Dons used to be able to keep the peace by respecting each others boundaries. Trump didn't threaten Russia which pissed off the deepstaters for whom Victoria Nuland works. Peace is not what they want. They Want WAR!

The world is a complicated place. I think the Western support so that the government in Kyiv does not fall was the correct thing to do. Now we need to be ready for the next step. A cease fire.

Well... to use Mike Pence’s words. Let me be clear. This is not an apology for Putin, he is just a realist.

1) Western Elites ran a Color Revolution in 2014 in Ukraine to over throw Putin’s installed regime in Ukraine...
2) Western Elites ran a Color Revolution in 2020 to overthrow Donald Trump
3) Mike Pence went along with it.
4) Putin did the math and figured he was next.
5) A KGB agent faced with a coup does what a KGB agent has been trained to do and invaded Ukraine.

So for Mike Pence, if you weren’t a coward Putin would not have invaded Ukraine... you could have broke the cycle, but in the end... Mike Pence is a coward who has sided with the Globalist, and the rest of the self appointed Western Elites.

As a bonus of Mike Pence’s cowardice over 1/2 million Americans will die from CCP made fentanyl. Our country needs warriors who can stand up and tell the truth about the industrial scale fraud that went on in our own country. That fraud is leading the world into WW3 because the entire world knows what our media refuses to acknowledge and that is Joe Bide is an illegitimate President installed through industrial scale voter fraud.

--------------------

Fans of other candidates do the same and call people, mostly Trump supporters, Putinoids. But the minute you criticize their favorite candidate on anything they melt down and say stop the name calling.

Except that “forever war” apologists like Pence aren’t pro Ukraine either. They will happily watch it get bombed out of existence over the next twenty odd years and then just walk away.

Just like Afghanistan.
