Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, August 24, 2025

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.

Vance isn't worried.

Most Deplorable Trumping MAGAts are absolutely ignorant of history.

Most will actually recreate history to correspond with what Vance said.

Like Sarah Palin and Paul Revere.

Clearly, it's not just the MAGAt voter who is, generally speaking and simplifying matters here, an informational moron.

I loved the movie OPPENHEIMER about the race to build that world-changing negotiation.
