Presidential candidate Mike Pence made a pilgrimage to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and affirm Pence’s position that the unilateral power of the Ukraine government needs to be supported.
Mike Pence then presents himself as the arbiter of what it means to be a republican with a Twitter message saying, “I know the difference between a genius and a war criminal, and I know who needs to win this war in Ukraine, and it’s the people fighting for their freedom and fighting to restore their national sovereignty. There is no room in our party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.”
Americans must sacrifice to support the magnanimous interests of the industrial military complex. Failure to adhere to the dictates and fiats of Republican power will not be tolerated in his party.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Thursday, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and touring the war-torn country as it fights Russian aggression.
Pence, who this month launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for president, has been deeply critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
He has called on the U.S. to deliver more military aid to the country and criticized GOP rivals who have questioned the ongoing U.S. involvement, saying there is no room in the party for “Putin apologists” and pushing back against those who want the U.S. to take on a more limited role on the world stage.
Pence spent roughly 12 hours in the country Thursday, according to an adviser, with stops in Moshchun, Bucha and Irpin, according to NBC News, which traveled with him.
“I’m here because it’s important that the American people understand the progress that we’ve made and how support for the Ukrainian military has been in our national interest,” he told the network. “I truly do believe that now, more than ever, we need leaders in our country who will articulate the importance of American leadership in the world.”
In addition to his meeting with Zelenskyy, Pence received multiple briefings, including one from Ukrainian officials on the country’s current security situation and one on allegations of human rights violations by Russians accused of abducting Ukrainian children in a bid to weaken Ukrainian resolve, the adviser said.

Well, GOODBYE! This WAR is a HUGE MONEY LAUNDERING SCAM for the most part!
Anyone see the picture of Pence’s MANSION??? HOW did he pay for that on his salary and his teacher wife’s salary? It’s a MANSION!
Because Sundance is not a journalist. He is a creepy Trump cultist who makes up many of these articles from his imagination and without factual basis.
Sundance is playing a whisper campaign against anyone but Trump. He is a boot licking worshipper of Lord Trump.
This is a Democrat-globalist war, the Republican Party should be looking for ways to end this war, not prolong it. But there’s no room in this Republican Party for constructive opposition, just more count us in, globalists, we want to be part of your team for international mayhem and ultimately the destruction of American freedom and prosperity one bad policy at a time. Trump will decimate Pence and all the other chicken littles (some are not so little) but is Trump really a Republican? I think not, he’s an independent especially now that the GOP has gone full globalist.
He always reminded me of a Wax Museum statue.
Too late.

One of these days maybe we can get a “Average American Caucus”
No room in HIS Republican party...I think he’s pretty lonely.
I left the Republican party 30+ years ago. I have to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils but I am an American, a constitutional conservative.
Hahaha, good point! Guess I’ll wait. Thanks for the kick in the rear. :-)
One would expect wrongly then, wouldn't one?
Screw Pence.
(PS: "Mike Pence" does not really exist. There IS a "Mike Pence" robot on the loose, though. Speak to it, it speaks back. Speak to it again, it speaks back again. Speak to it a third time, etc. After awhile it will occur to a reasonable observer that "Pence" is really just saying the same hsit, over and over. Blah Blah Blah. It's a robot, after all.)
The major divide is along who is to really decide what the Republican Party is: the voters or the “party leadership”?
We saw this around here on FR in 2016, when FR members who happened to be in local party leadership roles wanted the party committees to decide the nominee, because they hated Trump.
For me, I think the Republican voters should be the ones to decide who is in or out.
He keeps getting even worse. He’ll drop in the polls.
+++++++++++++++
Of course Mike Pants is real. He was the lead cartoon character - Clutch Cargo. Remember his pals "Spinner" and "Paddlefoot"? 
I’m Conservative .... a-hole.
There are no Good Guys in this war.
Amen to that drSteve
Ukraine
The suggested sins of the past are atoned by defeating the Russian Menace on the battlefield and economically where they live
Destruction of Russia is a good cause for the entire world
"Intelligent" feedback. Tell me where I'm wrong - or can you?
you falsely claimed:
“The US pushed to start the process of admitting Ukraine into NATO.”
not true. Ukraine did NOT ask to be in NATO til AFTER putin’s war was underway
That would have put a NATO border a little over 300 miles from Moscow.
Did people think Putin would just sit there and let it happen?
It is NOT putin’s call to make
Finland borders russia and is in NATO. Norway is a founding member of NATO
It is NOT putin’s call who is in or out of NATO.
I’m not a fan of Russia or Ukraine - but the US provoked the initial altercation.
not true. putin *provoked* himself
putin chose to invade Ukraine. This is putin’s war of choice
