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.

“Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine”
how he can even show his face in public is beyond me- he knows no shame apparently! -
“There are no Good Guys in this war.”
Exactly. Two of the most corrupt nations in the world. I pity the citizens who live in both places.
The man who presided over January 6th.
Pence - wrong on everything!
GOP = Grifting Old Pricks
Sorry Mike, no can do. Welcome to Loserville.
Z: You have to wear these high heels... You can keep them if you want and I’ll sign them.
P: No problem Mr. Z. My wife gets me to wear stuff like this all the time.
Z: I did a porno video, and now I’m the head of Ukraine. Who would have thought.
P: Well I use to... (inaudible) and look where it got me.
Z: I want nukes.
P: Against Russia and Belarus... smart man.
Z: No. Against the US. Because you’re going to ditch me like a cheap date, like an old cabbage roll... and I have to protect myself.
P: Well, I can’t guarantee that.
Z: You have to... because I have photos of you Mr. P.
P: Consider it done.
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?
I'm not a fan of Russia or Ukraine - but the US provoked the initial altercation.
Hasta la vista, baby.
The repugnant party is not much better than the demonrats.
I’d post Curly Bill Brocius saying “Well, Bye”.....
But I already left, thanks to Republicans LIKE Pence, but stunk up the place before Pence came to a significant level of power.
I wonder how much money Ukraine laundered for ‘holier than thou’ Mike.
Glad I left 10 or so years ago..
Screw this guy.
Hey Mikey,
I left the Republican Party long ago when they sold us out to China and elsewhere. I was an owner in a midsize mfg business and me and many acquaintances had to sell our businesses. The Dem unions were equally disgusting.
I’m a proud America First Independent and I dislike any Republican who wears jockstraps two sizes too small pretending they know more than those in the battle. You losers are so easily conned and live in a bubble. Take your brand of ‘Republican’ and stuff it!
OK bloody Victoria.
kill all Ukrainians for your evil fetish
(and still won’t make a damn bit of difference)
you actually drink blood, don’t you?
BS
Mike Penice
I’m still doing penance for having been being fooled by Pence’s facade. It seems Donald Trump was, too. May we all look beyond the facades that politicians wear.
That “May it be So” account doesn’t seem to have posted anything to FR from the end of 2015 to 2022. It seems to have posted more in the last year than it did between 2000 and 2015 — and pretty much only Ukraine posts now. May be a hijacked account from a dead user?
