Oh no, Vance got Vance’d… Lucky it wasn’t televised for the whole world to see.
Anyways, can’t wait for the snarky tantrum and projection condemning the Pope once he’s far away.
Bet the poor Pope couldn’t even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.
Bro really thought, after everyone else involved since 2014, he could just get in the room and say:
"Hey, c’mon. Let’s just stop this. Killing is bad, peace is good. I also want Ukraine to give up all the taken territory and I want 50% of Ukraine’s minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing.
“And then everyone clapped, and the war ended for good, just like that, with everyone happy. Zelensky hugged Putin, both kissed Trump’s ring, and they shared some champagne overlooking the beautiful US Gaza Trumpland sunset, surrounded by AI bearded ladies”.
The End.
Children raised on silver spoons often expect others to simply obey them, no questions asked.
Slow clap. He really managed to come in when Ukraine had the upper hand with allied help, weakened their efforts by humiliating, extorting and cutting off aid and intel, as well as making them lose their bargaining chip in Kursk, and now they just say “this is too much after all” and bail out.
Just to show up again at the end to claim victory after Europe and any other allies have seen this through. Mark my words.
It definetly was the platform ever. Like, no doubt about it.
Sometimes I look at the politicians from my country, and think to myself “gosh, what a bunch of sleezebags. Even I could do a better job”. And then I see this and come back to reality.
I mean, my politicians are still sleezebags, but not at this level, and that doesn’t necessarily correlate to my ability to actually do better than them with no actual experience.
These folks are the me that didn’t stop at intrusive thoughts. Who thought that just because they were raised on silver spoons and bailed out at every blunder they knew better.
That’s the issue. Too much threatening, too little going forward with it.
No one wants unnecessary conflict. We all want to get along. But when you have people acting in bad faith, who know you’re bluffing, they’ll take advantage of you everytime.
Because they know you’ll complain but that’s the extent of it. If they act in bad faith apply consequences, don’t hold back. When they complain or throw a pity party don’t waver. They knew it was coming, they were warned.
With the US adding fuel to the fire we’re at a crossroads in history. Russia wants to buy time, and excessive bureocracy and empty threats only aid them and their cronies.
