Summary

Nate Vance, a former U.S. Marine and cousin of JD Vance, criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

After volunteering to fight for Ukraine in 2022, he condemned his cousin and Trump for “ambushing” Zelensky and pausing military aid.

He expressed disappointment that JD Vance never sought his perspective on the war.

The administration’s stance has sparked concerns over its alignment with Russia.

    Imagine a family member of yourself is currently fighting in a war, you’re being vocal about said war, but you’re actively ignoring said family member.

    That looks pretty cruel to me.

      Let’s not forget that with this administration, the cruelty is the point. I thought the guy was shitty before, this just keeps reinforcing it.

      It’s probably because he doesn’t care to dig into an issue any further than what fits the current narrative that he’s pushing, which should be a disqualifying trait for anyone holding an office this high.

      Next time activists see him and his kids they should ask him why he wants his cousin to die in Ukraine…
