Holy stumbles, Batman! Vance just fell flat on his face and then tried to say it didn’t happen. The man obviously doesn’t know any history. And now the UK did not actually *say* that but the intent was clear. He just tried to be The Big Man from America and oh yay, it Did Not WORK. Stupid. You need to watch what you say, dude.
“If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine,” Mr Vance told Fox News. “That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”
WHAT? What in the hell is he saying? And that’s some ego there, JD. Accusing other nations’ peace keeping forces, of not being good enough, so “America must SAVE THE DAY”??? Oh come ON. You’re putting pressure on a country, Ukraine, that has been at war for THREE YEARS. If America hasn’t saved the day yet, they’re not going to. Instead you create a situation where America is going to come in and steal, yes, steal, Ukraine’s natural resources. It’s not like they have much of anything left at this point, and they will need those resources to rebuild if the war ever ends. But here, have some awesome UK responses.
Lord Beamish told The Standard: “This type of talk isn’t helpful and will be insulting and very hurtful to the memories of those who died and still suffer today from injuries from Iraq and Afghanistan and who fought alongside American forces.”
Liberal Democrat defense spokesperson Helen Maguire, a former Captain in the Royal Military Police who served in Iraq, said: “JD Vance is erasing from history the hundreds of British troops who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.” She added: “I saw firsthand how American and British soldiers fought bravely together shoulder to shoulder. “Six of my own regiment, the Royal Military Police, didn’t return home from Iraq. This is a sinister attempt to deny that reality.”
Leave it to the Brits for the ultimate smackdown. They just lost all the respect they ever had for the Vice President of America and he’s not getting it back. tRump is losing real estate too. Boast and brag and say stupid things, then try to backpedal. Later on Tuesday, Mr. Vance claimed it was “absurdly dishonest” to suggest he had been referring to either Britain or France. “I don’t even mention the UK or France in the clip, both of whom have fought bravely alongside the US over the last 20 years, and beyond,” he said. Nice try JD. The whole world is going to know what you said and how the UK expressed their displeasure. That means you’re going to lose respect in a lot more places – except Russia, of course, because American Leadership belongs to a new annex of Russia. Let me close with one last bit of nonsense. This came up in Vance’s conversation with Sean Hannity and we all know what Hannity is like. “Mr Vance also used the interview as an opportunity to criticize Europe’s approach to free speech, saying governments wanted to “silence and shut down” free speech in response to criticism over immigration.” LOL wut?
How do you like DEM apples?
*****And now, please read a very special request from our awesome boss******
Friends, if you can help us through these stormy days, it would be appreciated. Although, with what’s happening now, I don’t think it will be much longer before Democrats tune back in and get fully engaged. It’s about to hit the fan. Thank you. Ursula
Yup, somehow there has never been a creature uglier than “The Ugly American.” [The “ugly” American in the book was the plain-looking, plain-spoken, unassuming hero who learned the language and culture of the other country he was in and got his hands dirty helping the locals on small development projects. JFK got the Peace Corps spark from that character.]
The ugly American later came to mean exactly the opposite of that character and is now what our government looks like to the rest of the world and at least half of the US: loud, arrogant, obnoxious, bullying, sometimes well-educated but always acting unlearned, unthinking and demanding! The leaders of this group created their own reality bubble, stepped into it, feed each other the lie of their collective value beyond diamonds, and destroy anyone outside the bubble. These ugly Americans don’t know and don’t care that their bubble will burst…as they always do! But why wait for that to happen? Get your sharp objects out, poke at the bubble with every needle or hat pin you can find.
My favorite hatpin wielder today is Gov. Tim Walz, who should be our VPOTUS right now, and his offer to people in red Congressional districts. He has told any group who wants a town hall with their Republican Rep. who won’t come, for whatever reason, that he will be happy to come and answer all their questions!! I would love to see this offer from every Dem! What beautiful Americans they would be! 😃✊️👏
You said it, I agree with it! Hatpin wielder *gigglefit*
If Vance had been Veep back in 1941, Hitler would have owned Europe.
Why does,Trump need Zelensky to grovel for aid? He is gonna get the rare earth deal.we need–or Putin will. Is this man such a mixture of arrogance and insecurity that he needs everyone to praise him.constt? I know the amswner is “yes,” but it still shocks me. especially after Zelensky’s first lines wete thanking America and Americans.
Agent Orange wants the whole world to grovel to him. Seems to me that’s what he’s trying for, at least. Just read he sent a nastygram to Iran’s leaders warning them they ought not get involved. Blah Blah Blah. Yap Yap Yap. *Supposedly” he is now working directly with Hamas to get the hostages out and maybe even work out some sort of peace deal. I’m not too sure that will happen.
