Over the past two years, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Trump’s nominee for 2024 GOP Vice Presidential nominee, has forthrightly shared his views on the Ukraine-Russia war.
Hopefully, I have paused this at the right spot or close enough. APRIL 23rd SPEECH 2024.
JD Vance SPELLS out why NATO is in no position to fight Russia.
Key points:
“WE DO NOT HAVE THE MANUFACTURING BASE TO SUPPORT A LAND WAR IN EUROPE.”
We do not make enough air dense missiles yearly.
We do not make enough of the critically important 155mm shells. The US makes a fraction of what is required to support Ukraine. Even with all western manufacturing, no where near enough supply.
“Ukraine has a five to one disadvantage in artillery shells and there is no credible way to give them parity, and I’m not only talking about this year, I’m talking about next year too.”
Massive manpower shortage in Ukraine.
