Bad! JD Vance Goes Full Retard Neo-con, Threatens Military Action In Ukraine
Young Americans might want to refrain from joining the military… at least until these neo-con endless senseless wars are completely over.
Vice President JD Vance while at the Munich Security Conference warned that Washington could hit Russia with more sanctions and even use "military tools" on the table if it refuses to agree to a deal allowing Ukraine's long-term independence. He issued the words to The Wall Street Journal, saying "There are economic tools of leverage, there are of course military tools of leverage."
"There are any number of formulations, of configurations, but we do care about Ukraine having sovereign independence," the vice president continued.
This was the most hawkish warning yet issued by the Trump administration in the context of pressing for a final Ukraine negotiated settlement with Moscow. He further assured European allies that Trump will not go into talks with Putin with "blinders on" and that "He’s going to say, ‘Everything is on the table, let’s make a deal."
Vance also said: "I think there is a deal that is going to come out of this that’s going to shock a lot of people."
The Europeans (and American neo-cons) continue to express anger over Trump essentially going over Zelensky's head and showing willingness to deal directly with Putin. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Friday blasted the potential for peace talks that would cut out Zelensky or the Europeans.
Moscow is meanwhile cautioning that it could take months for talks to get off the ground, walking back some of its initial obvious enthusiasm - again in an attempt to maintain its leverage. State media was positively giddy when Trump spoke to Putin in a 90-minute call this week, and as Hegseth denied NATO membership for Ukraine. Neither side wants to look too 'eager' at this early phase. It could indeed become a long-haul before a peace deal is hopefully reached.
But the longer it takes to achieve ceasefire and peace, the more potential for some kind of destructive and shocking mass event which triggers bigger escalation between Russia and the West.
