As a french, I expect an apology. Come on, you expect that from Zelensly so it’s not that hard.
Fuck you, Vance. You fucking dick puppet.
Couche fucker. Vance is the couche fucker, cheeto is the dick puppet. Get your facts straight!
What a moron! Everybody knows it’s four random countries
In a trenchcoat
Haha! Yeah! Wouldn’t want some loser military that hasn’t won a war in the last 80 years. Haha!
Can’t lose a war if you don’t declare war, taps head
Britain hasn’t fought wars? Try Googling Iraq and Afghanistan, Mr. Vice President.

Bold words coming from a couch fucker.
Someone really should ask if the Whitehouse cleaning staff are being paid extra to get Vance’s emission’s out of the furniture.
Vance is Peter Thiel’s hand puppet, just like Trump is Musk’s. Thiel and Musk first came to serious money when they merged their companies to create PayPal, and since then they’ve been cooperating on various projects. Their current project is to establish corpo-feudalism in the US, and for that they need geopolitical isolation (Thiel’s job) and the dismantling of all social safetynets (Musk’s job). That’s all the context needed to understand Vance’s behaviour.
So Thiel is really in control then, since Musk is actually an idiot. The idea that Thiel thought “I can’t trust this guy to do anything” when he kicked Musk out of PayPal, and now “Wait, I need someone to ruin something and run it into the ground, I’ve got just the guy” is somehow absolutely hilarious to me.
Yeah this has been what I’m wondering lately. Clearly Thiel can’t be super in love with Elon since they ousted him from PayPal while he was on his honeymoon… but if he’s a useful idiot that can take the attnetion and heat, when everything implodes it’ll be on Musk and then Trump, and then Vance, who has been higher profile as VP than most, can try and worm his way in there and voila, Thiel has got what he wants. Vance is pretty off putting to most people though, which seems like bad judgement on his handlers part if they want a pseudo-legit govt CEO… but then the handlers are also super off putting in real life and clearly live in a alternate reality/bubble so maybe it’s not that far fetched.
Musk is dr evil. Thiel is dr no.
It would be hilarious if it weren’t for the 75m Americans being sacrificed because of these idiots. If it just affected morons who FAFO, it would be a bit more lighthearted.
Their playbook is The Sovereign Individual.
Hasn’t fought a war in 30 to 40 years? Who came with us into Iraq and Afghanistan?
And did real, actually fighting there, too.
Vance was in the Marines and ought to have known that
Vance was a press correspondant in an office. He didn’t do shit and didn’t see shit. He has no idea what fighting a war is.
Pretty disrespectful of him.
Well, it shows Vances vast knowlege of politics, history, and reality. It fits on a very small piece of paper.
I’d say that’s an insult to the paper slip
I’ve read longer fortune cookies
I hope this guy is a blimp in history and nothing more.
Like the Hindenburg, I hope.
Excuse me, the Hidenburg was not merely a blimp, it was a rigid airship. JD could never.
JD rigid airships couches
He does strike me more as the flaccid type.
They do their best to get alienated from their allies, don’t they?!
They are evidently trying to destroy the USA’s traditional alliances and weaken its historical allies. The most immediate benefit is to Russia, but China also benefits while North America and Europe lose out. Their motivation seems to be that turmoil offers billionaires new opportunities to make more money, and they may also hope to strengthen their dealings with Russian oligarchs.
War is good for business.
And despite the next rule being “peace is good for business”, that’s not actually all that true.
War is good for business.
wars fought on far away land, ideally fought by other people.
Yes, this is crucially what is often forgotten
If you are actually directly participating in a war, then it’s nothing but destructive
“War is good for business” would apply mostly to china in this case, and a little to Africa and maybe South America depending on how involved they’re gonna end up being
Yup, the country whose infrastructure is getting obliterated does not profit from war.
Care to elaborate on the South America/Africa part?
Well I’m mostly thinking they’re gonna benefit depending on how ignored they end up being in any potential conflict, as a consequence of not being in that conflict. That’s mostly speculation, I don’t have anything to actually back it up beyond my meanderings
I see what you mean, benefitting through not getting involved. I can totally see that going for South America Unfortunately, Central Africa would get deeply pulled into such conflict given its vast rare earth resources, so I doubt they could benefit.
What a knob, the Australians were right.
Sounds like something a knob would say.
What a weirdo
