Speaking to Kristen Welker on Meet the Press Sunday, the vice president vigorously defended Trump's push to end the war through give-and-take negotiations -- rather than the sanctions and ceasefire demands he once leveled at Vladimir Putin. Using the Second World War to illustrate his point, Vance claimed concessions and diplomacy are vital to end major conflicts -- but seemingly forgot that the war ended due to unconditional surrender.
"If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I. If you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation," said Vance, who was deployed in the Marines as a combat correspondent. Unfortunately for Vance, World War II not brought to an end, but came to a close with the unconditional surrender of Germany on May 7, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945. "Vance says WWII ended in negotiation -someone tell that to Hiroshima," one user wrote on X.
Because when JD Vance says "wars all end with negotiation," what he's really saying is that America should push Ukraine to cut a deal with Vladimir Putin. He's soft-selling a Russian military dismantling and the concomitant genocide of Ukraine. He's auditioning for the Neville Chamberlain fan club. And he's advertising, loudly, that he neither understands history nor the stakes of the present fight.
Let's start with the obvious: World War II did not end in a negotiation. We did not allow the Nazis to continue to govern a few of their seized territories. We did not allow Imperial Japan to hold Manchuria or the Philippines.
It ended when the Allies marched across Europe, bombed Germany flat, and forced an unconditional surrender in 1945.
It ended when the United States island-hopped across the Pacific, sank the Japanese fleet, unleashed wholesale killing machines in the form of United State Marines and the U.S. Army Air Corps, firebombed the Japanese homeland to cinders, and when the message wasn't getting through, we invented a portable sun and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Like any good socialist, Hillbilly Republican JD Vance eagerly took a free and generous handout to attend Yale Law School. But perish forbid anybody else in the US should get a free handout for an education, right JD?
