In May, Vance was among nearly 50 members of Congress added to a long list of lawmakers banned from entering Russia in retaliation for U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow.

"In response to the anti-Russian sanctions regularly introduced by the Biden administration, which are intended, according to Washington's plan, to inflict maximum damage on Russia by personally affecting officials and ordinary citizens of our country, entry into the Russian Federation for 500 Americans is being closed as a countermeasure," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement at the time...

Like saying that Trump is the “American Hitler”.

LOL. Yeah, Putin is the threat to the World. Biden and his Thugocracy have been trying to instigate World War III, imprison and/or kill political opponents and destroy all cultural norms in the US and elsewhere. He even threatens to bomb we who politically oppose him! Yet Putin is the big bad enemy. LOL.

He didn’t criticize Ukraine.

He said he respects Ukraine for fighting back against Russia.

"Putin is a Communist. Never forget that."

Putin is a nationalist and totalitarian. More like a NAZI than a communist internationalist.

Perhaps if we turn over agitators like Isabel van Brugen and canuck_conservative to Russian Authorities, the Russians will Unban Vice Presidential Candidate J.D. Vance.

It's time Zeepers took one for America instead of taking Billions FROM America.
