US VP Vance says Russia has made significant concessions toward Ukraine peace deal
Source: Reuters
Aug 24 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Russia has made "significant concessions" towards a negotiated settlement in its war with Ukraine and was confident progress was being made despite the lack of clear advances towards ending the conflict.
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker", Vance said Russian President Vladimir Putin has made several concessions, including that Ukraine will receive security guarantees protecting against future Russian aggression.
"I think the Russians have made significant concessions to President Trump for the first time in three and a half years of this conflict," Vance said in comments aired on Sunday.
"They've recognized that they're not going to be able to install a puppet regime in Kyiv. That was, of course, a major demand at the beginning. And importantly, they've acknowledged that there is going to be some security guarantee to the territorial integrity of Ukraine."

Like they have lived up to any guarantees. But then, maybe they'll settle for 1/3 of Ukraine and use their troops to attack another country. What a laugh!

J.D. VANCE DEFENDS FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST HAITIANS: IF I HAVE TO CREATE STORIES
THATS WHAT IM GOING TO DO
Trump and his vice presidential candidate continue to spread debunked rumors claiming immigrants are eating local pets in Ohio

J.D. Vance tripled down on his debunked claims that Haitian immigrants are killing and eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio, while also admitting, If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then thats what Im going to do.
Vance has spread unsubstantiated rumors about immigrants in his home state of Ohio, rumors that Donald Trump parroted during Tuesday nights presidential debate. As a result, hospitals, elementary and middle schools, and universities in the area have experienced threats of violence, forcing closures and evacuations.

Vice President JD Vance fumbled some very textbook facts of world history while talking foreign policy on Sundays Meet the Press. During the interview, the Yale Law School alum defended President Donald Trumps decision to entertain Russias terms for a peace deal with Ukraine by claiming all wars end in compromise.
NBC News Kristen Welker asked the Ohio Republican an important question, If Russia is allowed to keep any of the territory that it illegally seized, what message does that send to China? Does it give China a green light to invade Taiwan? Does it give Russia a green light to invade other European countries, which is what your European allies are concerned about?
Instead of answering the question directly, Vance took issue with the premise.
JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

......Specifically as to World War II, the United States and its allies gave the Axis powers two choices: death or unconditional surrender. Negotiated settlements were not on the table and at no point did the U.S. consider allowing Germany or Japan to keep territories they had illegally seized by force.
The global conflict was resolved in Europe when Germany collapsed and Adolf Hitler killed himself, ahead of Japans surrender after the American bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki......
As for how and why Vance got this wrong, its possible that the vice president is just confused. Its also possible that hes laying the groundwork for a White House policy that would reward Russia for its invasion, as if this is simply how wars ultimately get settled.
