#JDVance told a gathering of #GlobalSecurity officials in Washington that #Russia had determined that a 30-day #ceasefire with #Ukraine was not in its “strategic interest,” suggesting that was the reason the #Trump admin had changed its focus beyond an “obsession” with a 1-month pause.#geopolitics #PutinsPuppet https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05/07/us/trump-news/49e1e07c-21f6-5a8c-91db-e4f4e15c31b8?smid=url-share

#JDVance is speaking in Washington at the #MunichLeaders Meeting, a #GlobalSecurity conference. “I do still very much believe that the #UnitedStates & #Europe are on the same team,” Vance said. “The same *civilizational* team.” [whatever that means] #Vance said he thought it was “completely ridiculous to think that you’re ever going to be able to drive a firm wedge between the United States & Europe.”#geopolitics #Trump #PutinsPuppet

#JDVance appeared to be confronting the central question facing America’s relationship w/ #Europe right now: If the #US turns away from #Ukraine, could the US & other #NATO nations find themselves on opposing sides, w/the US moving toward a normalization of relations w/ #Russia? Vance argued that #Trump brought “strategic realism” [🤣that guy has no idea what realism is!] to the decision to seek a negotiated solution to the war.#geopolitics #Earth2 #AlternateFacts

@Nonilex And yet, weirdly, that's exactly what his boss has done.

@Nonilex He can say what he likes, but the trust is gone because of the unpredictability of his boss, oh and the rest of them. To be "allies" there has to be trust, co-operation, understanding, reliability, actions to back all that. I'm glad Europe has woken up and is making solid plans, for itself.

More unbelievable #gaslighting:#JDVance made the argument that #Trump is “a genuine humanitarian,” & said “he just wants the killing to stop.”Right, the guy deporting #children with #cancer who are #UScitizens, sending #asylum seekers to #CECOT & now #Libya, separating #families, canceling #funding to combat #InfectiousDisease & to make heart pumps for #babies w/ heart defects, yeah he’s a real #humanitarian. Go fuck yourself JD.#FactCheck #VanceLies #TrumpLies #TheCrueltyIsThePoint

#JDVance was asked whether he & #Trump were interested in “a strategic deal with #China, even maybe on #Taiwan.” Vance avoided giving an answer, apart from saying that there had been no discussions about Taiwan w/Beijing. Instead, Vance began spinning the tanking of the global #economy by the admin’s #TradeWars, saying “in a world of hypercomplicated supply chains,” the US “cannot be reliant on countries that don’t put our best interests at mind.”#geopolitics #security #inflation #recession

@Nonilex Vance, more than anyone else, seems to understand that it’s essential to fascism to make its victims swallow the most ridiculous shit they can dream up. I have railed against Trump for going on a decade now, but JD is an even worse human being.

#JDVance said the #trade situation w/ #China was not sustainable. He said “Liberation Day”was only 30 days ago, & “we are in the early innings” of negotiations.#Treasury Secy #ScottBessent, speaking at a #House hearing on Wednesday, declined to say which countries are close to reaching trade agreements w/the US & said that the deals would initally be agreements *in principle* that would be finalized in the coming months.#geopolitics #security #inflation #recession

#ScottBessent & Jamieson Greer, the #UnitedStates #trade representative, will be heading to #Switzerland for trade talks w/Chinese officials this weekend. He said that #PeterNavarro, #Trump’s White House trade adviser [& nut], will not be attending [lucky #China].#geopolitics #security #inflation #recession

Asked about #Iran’s #nuclear program, #JDVance did not directly answer the core question of whether Tehran can be allowed to continue to any ability to enrich #uranium, the core fuel for making a #NuclearWeapon. He said the negotiations were “so far so good,” & the #Trump admin’s bottom line was that “you can’t have the kind of nuclear enrichment program that allows you to get to a nuclear weapon.”#geopolitics #security

@Nonilex seems likely they don't have anyone on their staff who even knows what an enrichment program looks like

@Nonilex "don't put our best interests at mind"?? Are they doing this word salad thing on purpose or what?

@Nonilex Not lost on me that they don't even know what that process is. Like a lazy parent, watching a football game and saying "whatever you're doing, stop it."

@Nonilex I guess that shows precisely how far away we are from fixing things. They have to fly out to Switzerland to open negotiations while the nutcase in the WH can just toss in another XO to blow it all up. I'm gonna hoard TP.
