U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration’s top achievements.

Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.

“And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war,” Vance said.

    You mean the “aid” where were dump off our old military equipment and don’t have to pay to dispose it any more? That aid?

    Or is it just the regular aid, where Congress cuts some fat checks to Northrup, Lockheed, and General Dynamics, and all that money circulates inside the United States?

    Hopefully Ukraine requires no further US aid. With Orban out of the picture, maybe the EU can finally step up to help in a bigger way.

    I so hope this gets sour quickly enough for all of us to enjoy.

    The stupid Iran war has already shown that Ukraine is much more up to date with how current drone war works than the US and Trump is too dumb to see that.

    Once Ukraine has kicked out the Russians and has all the expertise on modern drones wars, the US is going to come begging.

    We only want to support aggressors in wars. if you want the US’s help, you need to 1. already have a nuke, 2. drop the first bomb.

    The last thing the Trump administration wants to do is get the US involved in a war in some far away land!

    Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. Who does he thinks makes all the weapons they buy with American support?
