JD Vance further antagonizes America's allies
UK-based Guardian newspaper details the anger Vance is stoking after the Trump regime's abandonment of Ukraine.
The On-Target videos by Steven Beschloss and me highlight news outlets that are standing strong as MAGA authoritarianism puts journalism under siege. The British-based Guardian is one of the standouts, with excellent reporting on how the Trump regime alienates allies.
After a discussion about a British-French peacekeeping force in Ukraine, Vice President JD Vance mocked the idea of deploying “20,000 troops from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years.” But France helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, and the Brits helped us in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Vance later said he wasn’t talking about Britain and France (yeah, right), but he didn’t say who he was talking about.
