"One of the things I'm proudest that we've done in this administration is we've told Europe that if you want to buy weapons, you can, but the United States is not buying weapons and sending them to Ukraine anymore," Vance said.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration’s top achievements.

Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.

“And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war,” Vance said.

    Edit: I’ll also add that the “vote blue no matter who”

    Who are you even talking to? Talk about false dichotomy

      I brought it up as further proof that the primaries don’t really matter because the primary doesn’t exists as a method of finding the best democrat candidate, it exists as a tool of conformity to squash dissent against the establishment candidate. The “Vote blue no matter who” is the slogan used after the primary to tell people to put their differences aside and vote for the candidate who won the primary. But clearly the “no matter who” part has a secret addendum, it’s actually “no matter who as long as it’s the establishment candidate”.

      Had Mamdani lost the primary and ran as an independent the establishment democrats would’ve been up in arms about him sabotaging the chances of the primary winner, who in this case would be Cuomo. But because Mamdani won there’s no outrage from the establishment about Cuomo running as an independent and getting backed by democrats, because that’s who the establishment wanted to win in the first place. Basically Mamdani had to beat the establishment candidate twice because there’s a double standard in place.
