America is done with funding Ukraine war, says JD Vance

Washington is “done with the funding” of Ukraine’s war against Russia, JD Vance, the US vice-president, has said, as Europe scrambles to build a united defence before in-person negotiations between Presidents Trump and Putin.

Speaking in an interview after an emergency summit with European and Ukrainian officials, co-hosted by David Lammy at Chevening, the foreign secretary’s mansion in Kent, Vance said Americans were fed up with paying towards the cost of the war.

“What we said to the Europeans is simply, first of all, this is in your neck of the woods. This is in your back door,” he told Fox News. “You guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing. And if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself, I think the president and I certainly think that America, we’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business.

“Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers, we’re OK with that. But we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore,” he added.

As Trump prepares to meet Putin in Alaska to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, the US president has suggested a deal would involve Kyiv conceding territory.

“Ukraine’s war against Russia”

Don’t they mean Ukraine’s “special military operation” against Russia?

That doesn't say that America is going to stop sending aid to Ukraine. It does say that the Europeans need to step up and do more, which in fact, they are. The U.s. will not and cannot just walk away and leave Ukraine to be taken over by Russia.

Neither one is correct.

It's the Ukrainian defense of their country against the invading Russians.

Then ask all the Ukrainian whores working in Singapore, Taiwan, Las Vegas, Paris, etc. to tithe 10% of their income to supporting their own country.

Ukraine is being invaded by the Russians, the rest of Europe is being invaded by Muslims. Given a choice, I would rather be conquered by the Russians.

Ukraine needs a whole lot more than just a few thousand dollars.

And, btw, how do you know about where all those whores hang out? Governor dimwitted has outed himself. ;) (sorry, couldn't help it).

The ukraine bros will stand up before you and tell straight out lies, without a care in the world....

“Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers, we’re OK with that. But we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore,” he added.

The ukraine bros will call billions in aid... to pay the ukrainian people salaries, wages, basic income, and for U.S. boots on the ground and nukes for zelensky...

But they won't go out and join ukraine's military for the cause they believe in...

The EU is doing nothing except complaining! They can’t all agree on anything for more than an hour, except that they don’t want to be left out of the Trump/Putin meeting! They cough up monetary pittance and snort coke!
Meanwhile, the punk dictator, Zelensky, dances around:

JD is a little too far out on the isolationist wing. As we see here that appeals to a segment of the base.

But if Russia was on the verge of taking Ukraine, JD would look like a fool. I don’t think he cares.

Vance: “I think the president and I certainly think that America, we're done with the funding of the Ukraine war business.”

Adorno: “That doesn't say that America is going to stop sending aid to Ukraine.”

You Zeepers are skilled in not understanding reality.

How can Vance look like “the fool” when the losing attitude has always been on the Gay Dancer, “Little z,” and the EU?

The U.S. absolutely CAN do this. Whether it will or not is a different story.

We have done this plenty of times in the past … so many times, in fact, that it’s a wonder any other country would expect anything else.

I can’t criticize you because your medical articles are great.

I’ll just support whatever Trump decides.

The only thing the US should be negotiating in Alaska is the clean US exit from the Ukraine war, and the normalization of trade/relations with Russia.

FRiend, I am not immune to any criticism.

Thank you for the kind consideration, though.

Please unload on me, as necessary.

You Zeepers are skilled in not understanding reality.

But they *do* provide the BideBama perspective. You know, for nostalgic reasons. They sorely miss January 2021-January 2025.
