Pence: ‘Biden has done a terrible job explaining our national interest in Ukraine’
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | July 23rd, 2023 | Miranda Nazzaro

Former Vice President Pence, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said Sunday President Biden has done a “terrible job” explaining America’s interest in Ukraine.

“I know he said we’re there as long as it takes, but, frankly, it shouldn’t take that long,” Pence told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.” “This administration has been, not surprisingly, dragging their feet on providing military support from early on. They cut off the military aid that we had been providing to Ukraine under the Trump/Pence administration in the early going.”

Biden said earlier this month that the United States would “not waver,” on support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia. While the president said Ukraine is not ready for membership into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), he announced a long-term security plan for Kyiv at this month’s NATO summit.

“Even after the initiation of hostilities and the unconscionable Russian invasion, the administration has been slow in delivering armor and delivering munitions and still hasn’t given permission to provide aircraft and F-16s for our allies,” Pence said on Sunday, noting the United States invested 3 percent of its defense budget in Ukraine.

“Joe Biden gives these gauzy speeches about democracy in Ukraine,” Pence continued. “We’re there supporting them on a military basis and supporting their soldiers for the reason that I believe, if [Russian President] Vladimir Putin overran Ukraine, it wouldn’t be long before the Russia military crossed the border, where our men and women in uniform would be called upon to go and fight and defend,” noting that the United States has a national interest in the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Domino Theory.

Again.

Abstract and ephemeral.

Nothing real.

Designed for fools and charlatans.

Hahahah. It’s not the The Trump Pence administration, it’s thr Trump administration. How come it’s just the Kennedy administration, the Nixon administration, The Reggan administration but with Trump, 30 Piece Pence wants to be a headliner.

“Pence: ‘Biden has done a terrible job explaining our national interest in Ukraine’”

In defense of Biden, there is no answer for the US other than settling a hormone-driven blood-fued that some of our top leaders have with Stalin.

We are fighting to make the world safe for perverts.

The administration has been crystal clear on this point.

Lol, the old “you just don’t understand what a great investment Ukraine is” meme.

Not. My. Concern.

Maybe we have no national interest in Ukraine. What did we get for 55,000 dead in Vietnam? (It took me nearly 50 years to say that.)

Russia already shares borders with NATO nations. If they wanted to face off with NATO, why would they need to cross Ukraine’s border?

It’s the pedo capital and the dark money laundering capital of the world.

After you visit the loo this morning, don’t forget to jiggle the handle after you flush the Pence.

Russia attacked Ukraine when Biden was elected, not Trump. Biden is fighting to protect his corrupt Burisma interests, and people are dying.

“What did we get for 55,000 dead in Vietnam? (It took me nearly 50 years to say that.)”

That is wisdom speaking.

It took me many years to figure it out—once I realized that .gov was not my friend.

The military contractors made a killing on Vietnam—everybody else involved got boned.
