Senate Republican says US needs to accept Ukraine will ‘cede some territory’ to Russia
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | December 10th, 2023 | Lauren Sforza

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting.

Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine because he does not believe the country will ever be able to overpower Russia. He questioned why sending billions in aid to Ukraine is going to help the country at this point in its war against Russia since previous aid has yet to end the war.

“What’s in America’s best interest is to accept Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians and we need to bring this war to a close,” Vance said. “But when I think about the great human tragedy here, hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans innocent have been killed in this conflict, the thing that’s in our interest and in theirs is to stop the killing.”

...snip...

“The idea that Ukraine was going to throw Russia back to the 1991 border was preposterous, nobody actually believed it.”

“So what we’re saying to the president and really to the entire world is you need to articulate what the ambition is, what is $61 billion going to accomplish that $100 billion hasn’t,” he added.

Or they will do it again with the new treaty as soon as they find it convenient

Just like their buddies Hamas

Use any pause to re-arm, then attack again

Then Ukraine doesn’t really have any incentive to stop fighting, do they?

This is where we can send NATO troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers.

What does Ukraine get in return?

The Zelensky will get a new condo in Miami and a cool $1 billion in FRNs tucked away in a Swiss bank account.

This.

There is way too much history and bad blood that has absolutely nothing to do with us. Nothing we do or don’t do will fix it.

The disaster was the decision to send troops to Vietnam.

It is the business of Ukraine what they are willing to do or not do to stop Russia from attacking them.

Of course land for peace generally ends with no land and no peace but entirely their business.

If the EU wants to get involved their business.

We should stay out of it.

BTW this is exactly what I predicted would happen once the US got tired of babysitting Europe. There will be a bunch of petty and not so petty wars because war is the natural state of Europe.

There is nothing they like as much as they like killing each other.

You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re too much of a poet to avoid being at least a little crazy.

“Will we put American troops on whatever border is decided upon, ...”


How about putting US troops on the US border ?

I read all these NeoCons on here, trying to drag the entire NATO into the Ukraine War, and talking about how aggression must always be opposed anywhere and everywhere.

Well how about the “aggression” of an invasion by millions on the US southern border ?

What does Ukraine get? They get to keep what's left of their country and access to the Black Sea.

All annexed territory will remain with the Russian Federation. There is no chance any of it will ever be part of Ukraine again.

You're a sociopathic fool if think Ukrainian should keep dying in futile proxy war it can't win. The Ukrainians absolutely no leverage in any negotiations.
