Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting. Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine because he does not believe the country will ever be able to overpower Russia. He questioned why sending billions in aid to Ukraine is going to help the country at this point in its war against Russia, considering previous aid has yet to end the war. “What’s in America’s best interest is to accept Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians, and we need to bring this war to a close,” Vance said. “But when I think about the great human tragedy here, hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans innocent have been killed in this conflict. The thing that’s in our interest and in theirs is to stop the killing.”

    I don’t understand why the GOP is okay with strengthening the Kremlin, who identifies as our adversary, by allowing them to steal valuable economic land that has major strategic geopolitical ties. They were always supposed to be the strength and might party… And Russia is clearly not that mighty so why is that the ship they want to jump to?

      Because they give zero fucks about what happens to anyone but themselves, and they’re being manipulated with either bribes or kompromat. Or they just want to own the libs.
