Vice-President JD Vance delivered a brilliant history lesson to a neocon foreign historian who tried to dunk on President Trump over the Ukraine conflict.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Trump went off on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday for his desire to continue an unwinnable war and for canceling elections. All while American taxpayers foot the bill to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle, Trump wrote on Truth Social. “A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.”
“In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do,” he added.
Niall Ferguson, a neocon British historian, lashed out at Trump’s explosive words by using a quote from former President George HW Bush regarding Kuwait to smear the current commander-in-chief as an appeaser.
“This will not stand. This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.”–George H.W. Bush on August 5, 1990. Full quote from Jon Meacham’s biography,” Ferguson wrote. “Future history students will be asked why this stopped being the reaction of a Republican president to the invasion of a sovereign state by a dictator.”

Vance responded to the tweet by calling it “moralistic garbage” while reminding people the war would not have started if Trump was in office and that there was no plan for victory during the Biden regime.
The VP then rightfully questioned Ferguson’s seemingly limited knowledge regarding the conflict and pointed out Bush Sr. was dealing with a different war from a different time period.
Vance proceeded to lay out five cold, hard facts regarding the Ukraine war that Ferguson conveniently ignored:
• Our Western European allies pursue disastrous domestic politics, such as open borders and censorship, while benefiting greatly from American generosity. This offends Americans who rightfully see these nations as freeloading off our country while not doing their part to defend their own backyard (including Ukraine).
• Russians retain huge advantages in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and there is nothing the West can do to alter this reality no matter how much money is sent to the sinkhole.
• The United States has tremendous leverage over both Russia and Ukraine.
• The only way to end the conflict is by talking to the individuals responsible for starting it and continuing it.
• The Russia-Ukraine War has stressed multiple levels of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions. While the continued conflict is awful for Russia, Ukraine, and the rest of Europe, it is also terrible for the United States.
This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.

Try to imagine any other Vice-President giving this kind of eloquent America-first response to a foreign policy interventionist voice. By choosing Vance as his sidekick, Trump has endured the MAGA movement will remain in good hands when he leaves office.
