US Senator Lays Into Globalists During International Security Conference

Ohio Senator JD Vance recently attended an international security conference in Munich where he didn’t hold back on his thoughts about the United States carrying water for Europe in terms of defense.

He made the case that America’s financial support has weakened European nations over time.

Vance stated at the conference: “The American security blanket has allowed European security to atrophy.”

Funding for a never-ending Ukrainian war has been hard for the democrats to come by as of late.

Many GOP legislators have drawn a line in the sand regarding outrageous amounts of tax-payer dollars being thrown around globally as if America’s historic debt level was a fleeting thought.

It’s not hard to see why in the comments about Vance’s remarks.

Otherwise the USA will continue to get taken advantage of to pay our unfair share while we continue to go further and further into debt.

Good for JD Vance. Europe needs to stop mooching off the US and needs to start defending itself.

We need to focus on ourselves.

People aren’t blind to the problems that currently exist in their own neck of the woods.

Times are still tough for many here in the US, and giving billions of dollars away to foreign nations while Americans are struggling is a hard pill to swallow for most citizens.

It should be.

Thanks to JD Vance for standing against more wasteful spending from Washington.

ABC News had more on Sen. Vance’s statements:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and others have advocated passage of the $60 billion in aid at the Munich Security Conference, which coincided with Ukraine withdrawing troops from the eastern city of Avdiivka after months of intense combat.

But Sen. JD Vance, an Ohio Republican and ally of Donald Trump, said “the problem in Ukraine … is that there’s no clear end point” and that the U.S. doesn’t make enough weapons to support wars in eastern Europe, the Middle East and “potentially a contingency in East Asia.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson insists he won’t be “rushed” into approving the $95.3 billion foreign aid package from the Senate that includes the help for Ukraine, despite overwhelming support from most Democrats and almost half the Republicans.

If the package goes through, “that is not going to fundamentally change the reality on the battlefield,” Vance argued, pointing to limited American manufacturing capacity.

“Can we send the level of weaponry we’ve sent for the last 18 months?” he asked. “We simply cannot. No matter how many checks the U.S. Congress writes, we are limited there.”

“I think what’s reasonable to accomplish is some negotiated peace,” he said, arguing that Russia, Ukraine, Europe and the U.S. all have an incentive to come to the table now and that the two-year-old war will at some point end in a negotiated peace.
