Presidential candidate Mike Pence made a pilgrimage to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and affirm Pence’s position that the unilateral power of the Ukraine government needs to be supported.
Mike Pence then presents himself as the arbiter of what it means to be a Republican with a Twitter message saying, “I know the difference between a genius and a war criminal, and I know who needs to win this war in Ukraine, and it’s the people fighting for their freedom and fighting to restore their national sovereignty. There is no room in our party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.”
Americans must sacrifice to support the magnanimous interests of the industrial military complex. Failure to adhere to the dictates and fiats of Republican power will not be tolerated in his party.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Thursday, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and touring the war-torn country as it fights Russian aggression.
Pence, who this month launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for president, has been deeply critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
He has called on the U.S. to deliver more military aid to the country and criticized GOP rivals who have questioned the ongoing U.S. involvement, saying there is no room in the party for “Putin apologists” and pushing back against those who want the U.S. to take on a more limited role on the world stage.
Pence spent roughly 12 hours in the country Thursday, according to an adviser, with stops in Moshchun, Bucha and Irpin, according to NBC News, which traveled with him.
“I’m here because it’s important that the American people understand the progress that we’ve made and how support for the Ukrainian military has been in our national interest,” he told the network. “I truly do believe that now, more than ever, we need leaders in our country who will articulate the importance of American leadership in the world.”
In addition to his meeting with Zelenskyy, Pence received multiple briefings, including one from Ukrainian officials on the country’s current security situation and one on allegations of human rights violations by Russians accused of abducting Ukrainian children in a bid to weaken Ukrainian resolve, the adviser said.

Mike Pence’s platform is to continue the Russia Ukraine war.
He should be discussing negotiations, a path towards peace. Thank God this warmonger, traitor, danger to world peace – is a non contender for ’24.
Pence is a poster boy for MAKE RINOs Extinct.
Rino, “30” Pence continues to delusionally pretend he has a following.
Welcome to the new Nazi party.
Ever since he betrayed Gen. Flynn in 2017, Pence has been dead to us…
Fall RINOs.
When Pence ran away from Trump that weekend, after the Billy Bush affair started, Pence showed his true colors to me.
Just a treacherous boy toy for the VP slot.
What was even more sickening was that the club was planning on elevating Pence to the top of the ticket when Billy Bush’s little trick got put into play.
These idiots still don’t get it, even after that little stunt.
AND HE CONTINUED HIS AGENDA BY BETRAYING TRUMP! YOU BETRAY TRUMP, YOU BETRAY ME! (JUST FOR THE RECORD……I HAVE MACULAR DEGENERATION AND NEED TO TYPE LARGE FONT. SORRY —- LOVE ALL YOU PENCE HATERS 🙂
“I know the difference between a genius and a war criminal,”
I know the difference between a grifter (Big Z) and a fool (MP) …
Z is a murderous puppet, liquidating the Ukrainian people against an outraged and alarmed enemy, like Putin.
Russia could have been a somewhat difficult ally against China, rather than a major resource for China, the real danger.
China would be the other real danger…
Congress and intel, along with industrial media and the third oblahblah admin are the real danger.
Our primary enemy is within the gate….
A lot of those within the gates are CCP paid, or laid…
Who died and left him in charge of the Republican Party?
Really, the damn fool hasn’t figured out it’s the MAGA Party now.
Go somewhere else fool, we have no room for you.
A: RDS’s campaign.
He sounds just like the old George W Bush types.
Not going back to that.
And, not that he could go much lower, but this should see him dropping in the polls like a lead ball real soon.
I don’t see Pence dropping much further.
He’s already rolling along the ground like a dried cow plop, some mean kid rolled when bored.
The R party the Uniparty can love. He says ‘our’ party. R is fake opposition, fake choice. For the few good ones buried within that mess, there needs to be a MAGA party. But we’ll split the vote, what vote, they installed who they wanted.
If we were lucky enough to create a MAGA party, there needs to be some mechanism for exposing and disavowing frauds so we don’t just go from RINOs to Máganos.
Someone can’t just say, “I’m MAGA!”
There needs to be a way for a consensus to say, “He/She’s MAGA!”
The Rocky and Bullwinkle Ukrainian counter offensive…”this time for sure”. Sit down Mike.
Pence was so “out front” with his “Christian values” it makes me wonder if he’s seen the videos of Zelensky playing the piano, and prancing around nude in stiletto’s. Maybe he doesn’t know??? Or maybe he’s just another paid for flunky.
two of a kind IMO
IT’S BEEN QUITE OBVIOUS FOR A LONG TIME THAT HE IS A FAKE CHRISTIAN! HE WILL GET HIS …….IN THE NEXT WORLD!
Pence betrays both his faith and his country. Just more proof that AMERICA NEEDS an alternative political party. The new one for patriots, leadership and clean government. We have none of that now.
Maybe?
Maybe?
Always has been a neocon flunky.
He is the perfect poster child for the Evangelical Zionist wing of the Republican party.
They are pure neocon war-mongers. They have zero allegiance to the USA. They do not care one whit for American interests.
They are doing the bidding of their hostile foreign sponsors.
Honestly are there any Evangelicals voting for Pence? Doesn’t look like many of anything is supporting Pense.
Pence, Pompeo, Haley are favorites of Evangelical Zionists.
But, for them, pretty much any neocon will do.
“When Israel’s former ambassador to the US said his country should worry less about what American Jews think and concentrate on Christian evangelicals as the “backbone” of support for the Jewish state, he had in mind the Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee.
Hagee founded Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a group that claims 11 million members, who have had a significant influence on Republican party politics and in hardening Washington’s already strong support for Israel.”

How low can he sink?
F#%$ Judis Pence! FJBLGB!!!!
😂 Can Judas Pence’s poll numbers drop to -1?
That old republican party is dead, and he doesn’t even know it.
What a scumbag this hypocritical SOB turned out to be.
HE DIDN’T JUST ‘TURN OUT TO BE’…….HE’S BEEN ONE ALL ALONG.
Seneca. I scratch my head. No amount of money, privilege, power, position or whatever else could be handed to me would ever cause me to abandon my principles and faith. I was fired from a very comfy stable job because of my stands. I believe the entirety of those who frequent CTH would be equally strong in their convictions.
All politicians seem to descend into corruption and all manner of wickedness. It is almost like the position sucks integrity from them. Perhaps however the system is so tight that only the like minded sickos by use of all the control mechanisms in place are brought into the fold?
At any rate. It is very disgusting to watch.
DD
…and congress critters have been selling out this nation for decades….
Feed the Greed and it only gets more ravenous….
We can never get enough of what we don’t need to make us happy.
Mitch Ryan Boehner?
Can you read?)
I believe that the parties choose and promote people who are attracted to the money and power AND also have the worst kind of dirt in their past which makes them easy to control.
I love these staged pictures of Pence praying (to what God we don’t know). He and DeSantis are competing for the most manufactured, phony crap-artist award this election cycle.
They both know they will never be President. They also know that running for President is a great way to get really rich.
Just ask Bernie Sanders and family………
Isn’t Mars thr God of War?
Nikki Haley is praying to Kali.
Poseidon, “lord of the earth”, whose trident is emblazoned on all of Z’s clothing.
I appears that Mike Dense missed the Zelensky memo about canceling elections, having already outlawed religion and opponents. But Mike’s a Republican’s Republican, in other words, a Communist butt boi.
Send him back to Indiana post haste. He is such a dimwit.
We don’t want him either!!
Hey, Indiana is a nice place!
Send him somewhere else.
Please don’t. We don’t want him here either.
Why is Pence praying? This is a disgusting display of fake piety. Z cracked on religious people is unforgivable.
The irony is Zelenskyy outlawed the orthodox church….you know “democracy” and stuff.
He’s praying Zelinski will give him a couple young boys for his trip home.
I believe you’ve got something there.
This kind of behavior makes me wonder how much blackmail material the uniparty power-holders have on him.
It’s like they made him go do this ridiculous trip and told him what to say – which will only make him less popular with the primary voters.
Very strange, unless his only purpose is to do what he is told.
You can’t actually make someone do want they don’t want to do. You can coerce them to do something – take a shot. You can blackmail them, but then they had done something to blackmail them with. I have some things, I’d prefer not to be public, But to go on this, and shake hands with Z.
Oh hell no, publish it.
But Pence will get something out of this that he must want.
Yes, Pence is owned by the deep state. They got some dirt on the plastic, sanctimonious, fake religious Pence.
Somebody send Judas a rifle.
Since he sold us out, I figure I’m going to need mine here.
Guess there’s no room for me.
Darn.
🙄
I WOULD SAY THAT THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE HAVE SENT TO UKRAINE IS A BOATLOAD MORE SUPPORT THAT WE EVER SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM! THE FACT THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TOUTS HOW WE NEED TO SUPPORT UKRAINE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TELL ANYONE WITH A BRAIN THAT IT’S A VERY BAD IDEA! PENCE JUST PROVED HIMSELF —– HE’S NOT A TEAM PLAYER!
….and fried in lard
How is Pence different than Biden or the Democrats.
Not, and he represents many in the Republican Party.
Who does he think he’s foolin
Anybody find it interesting that he is speaking from a positIon of strength and power yet look behind him and notice the burnt out tanks and APCs. Also I find it odd that a couple of kids just get to walk around looking at the tanks with a former US Vice President just yards away from them in an active war zone.
If this had been in Vietnam during that war would the US just let potential Viet Cong that close to any VIP? Iraq? Afghanistan? Hell I dare any peon to try getting within 20 feet of the Danbury, Connecticut mayor at the annual Christmas parade. You’ll probably get shot in the head by a police sniper.
I always say it and most doubt it but there is very much going on in the world that is not what it appears to be. Personally I believe that the true patriots in the US government are working with Putin to destroy the deep state. Better in Ukraine than in the US. Putin wins by obtaining a buffer zone and destroying the Bio-labs peppered all over Ukraine. The US wins by destroying the deep state on foreign soil rather that the battle and bloodshed take place on US soil.
All the money we are sending there was probably part of the deal with Putin. Putin and his army does the heavy lifting and the US rebuilds the Ukraine and helps the non deep state Ukraine peoples after their country has become a war zone.
Yo, Mikey! I’m a conservative Republican that wants the US out of Ukraine and will NEVER vote for you…
This is the kind of guy who would never have your back. The prototypical “hireling” of John 10 who puts on an air of piety but inevitably abandons the flock and flees when the wolves come in order to save his own hide. If he were honest, his slogan would be, “Pence first.” (Granted, this applies to 99.999% of politicians in the end)
Ok, I accept those terms – I am not a Republican. I am America First.
Yep, I’m out …
He’s so out of touch.
He knows EXACTLY what he is doing, though.
Seems like both are keeping a look out on their surroundings…
Pence continues to be dead to me.
PLEASE DON’T JUDGE US ALL BY HIM.
Tangentially:
I’ve long wondered if PDJT had gone along, when Pompeo and the generals broke the chain of command and tried to start a war with Iran in 2019, whether he’d have remained in office for a second term, having the “backing” of at least one of the big player corrupt institutions (big pharma and big tech/IC being the others). It almost seems as if it was a sort of “test”. The timeline fits – it happened shortly before Covid.
After PDJT said no, I’m not joining in on your sick war games for profit, that was it – his goodness was deemed incompatible with any corrupt big interests, and all institutions resolved to remain aligned against him.
Trump doesn’t start wars he stops them from happening. That’s why DC doesn’t like him very much…..can’t be bought, blackmailed, or manipulated.
He SOLVES problems,…how DARE he, who does he think he is?
THEY create and maintain crises, they institutionalise them, so they can profit off of them.
Southern border, Israel/Middle East, SS/Medicare funding, Rust belt exfiltration of jobs, ALL Problems THEY created and sustained, and he solved them, and pissed off TPTB something fierce!
That’s how they justify their jobs. That’s how the false claim for an ever-growing Govt is justified.
WAR = BIG MONEY!!!!
“…know(s) the difference between a genius and a war criminal,…”.
And yet he chooses the war criminal.
“…fighting to regain their national sovereignty.”
What a mouthful of signaling!!!
Mike has absolutely no problem with the continued rape of this country to support the corrupt Nazis in Ukraine.
With Reublican’ts like these who needs Demonscats to ruin America??
SPIT!
Of course, Pence is part of the grift he went to go get his cut.
Well stated!
So Pence supports Zelenski closing down the opposition party, taking control of the media, delaying elections etc.
Pence has new definitions for democracy and freedom !!
“the difference between a genius and a war criminal,”
Is he saying that Zelensky is a genius? I guess he is since he stole American taxpayers money.
And Pence wants a cut.
Actually, he didn’t actually SAY that.
I know the difference between a genius (PDJT) and a war criminal (Zalenski) and I stand with the War criminal!
Why is Zelensky selling weapons (we sent) to Africa and the Cartels for cash?!
Lock him up!
They send our kids to Afghanistan to die while they send their own kids to Ukraine to get rich. Before long if they have their way they will send our kids to Ukraine to die.
Never understood campaigning in foreign countries to entities that do not vote in our elections. Oh, my bad. They do vote. With monies.
Watching these politicians, from around the world, pay their respects to the man is like we’re in an episode of The Godfather and Don Corleone has just passed his ring of power over to his son Michael. Expecting to see pictures of Pence kissing Zelensky’s ring to surface.
I can’t argue with that.. Bye!
Typical neocon–war! war! war!
For who?
For what?
They have no allegiance to the USA.
They are pawns of hostile foreign powers and defense contractors.
Who is he to decide who is a Republican?
I have been thinking about changing my party affiliation from the Republican party, which I registered as in 1976, to Independent.
Mr.Pence may have just persuaded me to leave.
I never want to go where I’m not wanted.
Do it. You will feel better, and you will stop getting junk mail from eGOP fakos. If you live in a closed primary State, it isn’t difficult to re register Republican’t to vote for President Trump.
I would’ve done the same years ago but in my state you need a party affiliation to vote in primary elections
I’ve thought of changing my affiliation from Independent to Republican for that reason.
Wait till after primaries.
You can not work to make the R party MAGA from the bottom up, to work in conjunction with PDJT,’s efforts from the top down, if you change your registration.
PDJT has endorsed theprecinctstrategy, and urged individuals like tracey Beane, to become R party precinct captains in order to do exactly that.
PDJT has NOT urged ANYONE to leave the R party and register as unaffiliated.
So, if you make such a boneheaded move, are you truly MAGA?
Or do you sct on your FEELINGS, instead of pragamatic, logical thought.
Because you LIKE (feelings) the sound of saying “I am an Independant”, meaning in the War we are in, you are a conscientious objector.
You have NO gun, no ammunition, no grenades and what? I’m supposed to CARRY you? Get the f*ck out of my foxhole.
what a fool
Ryan is one sad excuse…right there with Boehner and mitch…
Truly sorry human beings.
I think we’d be hard pressed to ID many folks in DC who are not….sorry human beings. I’m convinced the gates of hell are located somewhere n DC
