Vance: 'We're Done Funding the Ukraine War Business'

Monday, August 11, 2025

"Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars of 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," Vance continued."

Is JD Vance going to show up so they can yell at Putin for indiscriminate bombing of civilian population centers, or is that kid of treatment reserved for allies who don't thank Trump sufficiently?

How do you say, "Screw Democracy, Pay Us First!" without using those words?

What if France had said that to the US during our Revolution? We'd still be ruled by the Brits.

This must be Vlad's birthday week; Trump wants to give him Ukraine and first dibs on Alaska.

Oh, JV is just soooo boooored.
Perhaps some more of that eyeliner, just a touch of kohl, to soothe the fevered Neanderthalian brow?
It must be tough, playing arsewiper to Old Senescent.

Are word is meaningless. I would not trust the United States of America to come through for me ever again.

"We're done funding the Ukraine war business."

He has to say something provocative, or people will think he's on a perpetual vacation.

I'm tired of funding his salary. And Trump's. And all the rest of the MAGA sycophants tearing our country apart.

"What if France had said that to the US during our Revolution? We'd still be ruled by the Brits."

America did eventually pay back France. I believe America would eventually recoup the costs of their investments in Ukraine. Not only that the damage we are inflicting in real time on Russia and the Russian economy and the strengthening of our alliances is priceless.

"Investing in Ukraine" is a euphemism for pumping money in to US defense contractors. Ukraine spending bills were predominately for replenishment of US equipment. We send them some 1980-1988 models of Bradleys and order new ones from BAE to keep our stockpile around 4500 units.

Well there you go. Let Russia keep some of what they took and give some of it back to Ukraine and be done with it. And hopefully Putin gets taken out by someone in his own country.

@#14 ... Well there you go. ...

That 63% is likely due to Pres Trump's stopping of arms to Ukraine, allowing Pres Putin to make some gains in his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign Ukraine.

The land swap your current alias mentions is only part, of many, of the solution.

Another part is future security of Ukraine. But Pres Trump has already given that up to Pres Putin when he said that he will not let Ukraine join NATO.

So, it looks like Pres Trump may be just setting Ukraine up for another unprovoked invasion by Pres Putin down the road.

I can't wait for lefties to proclaim Vance is far more evil than Trump. Approximately 3 years from now.

So it is fine with the Trump gang to support a mass murdering psychopath who attacked a friendly nation and killed, is killing, thousands, in order to steal land.
I am an atheist, and do have to wonder at the Christian leaders who say they follow Jesus and follow the fascist Trump and are refusing to support the Ukrainian people who are being murdered.

Just STFU you idiot. Stop voting. Stop speaking. Stop acting as if your "thoughts" are worth the effort to express them.
