US vice-president JD Vance says Europe must spend more on Ukraine as he warned that America is “done with the funding of the war”. He also vowed that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky will be forced to meet by Donald Trump.

Mr Vance, in a wide-ranging interview on Fox News, went on to dismiss European leaders’ calls to allow the Ukrainian president to attend the upcoming summit between the US and Russian leaders, insisting that it would not be “productive” at this point.

On Saturday, European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer jointly welcomed the meeting, which is planned for Friday in Alaska. However, they warned that any talks should see Ukraine represented and not permit any land to be ceded to Russia.

Their statement came after Mr Trump admitted the deal may involve “some swapping of territories” – a suggestion Mr Zelensky strongly rejected..........................

“We’re done funding the Ukraine war — Europeans can take the lead,” Vance says

The US vice president said taxpayer money will no longer fund the Ukraine war ahead of Trump–Putin talks in Alaska on 15 August.

I absolutely don't get why they continue to argue that it is a hoax. The Senate report, which says Russia did try to influence voters but argued that there was no probable collision with Trump was actually a good place for Trump to leave things.

The fact that people all the way up to Manaford in his campaign shows there was some collision. Reminding people that Barr mishandled the Mueller report and that Mueller did get indictments is not a good idea for Trump.

What it shows is his vanity is hurt by claims that he had help winning in 2016.

Since Trump is a Russian spy/asset, etc.

Also, he is a pedophile in case anyone wondered.
