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.

aka limp d|ck!
“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.”
In Ukraine since 2014, there has been one group of Ukrainians fighting another group of Ukrainians. One of the groups was fighting for freedom from the group that was fighting to impose a sovereignty which discriminated against the former.
Mr Pence claims to know that President Z is a genius and President P is a war criminal. If Mr Pence was a genius he might realise that facilitating a war where a better outcome for both sides avoids the war, might just define him as a war criminal.
And that is why, when this all started, Zelensky had to issue orders that men under a certain age were forbidden from evacuating to surrounding countries?/s

Real men would have been running towards the battle.
Jim Mattis ordered the same war crime at the Siege of Fallujah. Navy Pediatricians were present. Sandy Tomita under deputy commander Dave Tam springs to mind.
No one was charged and prosecuted for war crimes against children and the general population then. Nor will anyone by prosecuted today.
“This” is what we have become as a nation in the name of expediency, money and pathologic self-aggrandizement
When I first scrolled by your comment, I read it as “It is a sin to wage war in Ukraine.”
Quite the opposite of what Pence said. Hmmmm…
A Christian is someone who follows the teaching of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
He is someone who longs and prays for the realization of the promise in Isaiah:
(The Lord) shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Is 2:4)
It is a shame when a politician puts his politics ahead of his Christian principles.
He is lacking in the discernment the Scriptures speak of and so does not distinguish between good and evil.
“It is a shame when a politician puts his politics ahead of his Christian principles.”
Are you sure a warmonger like that has Christian principles to be put ahead of?
He professes to be a Christian
but it appears he does not recognize the lies and corruption so prevalent in politics and the world today.
We live “in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation” (Philippians 2:14)
and in this world the one aim of every Christian should be to do the will of God:
wholehearted devotion to God, putting him first in all things,
and showing a compassionate concern for the people around us and also our enemies.
This is why Jesus said
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’, will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Most money scam in America starts with churches ..
A “Christian” does not support the murder of people for money laundering purposes disguised as war.
money laundering, human trafficking, pedophilia, organ harvesting bio warfare research and that is an incomplete list.
Well, Mr. Pence – you are clearly not a genius, you are a war criminal!
You insist on carrying on this manufactured war that is causing suffering in Ukraine , with ridiculous and dangerous assaults on the peace to bring us closer to World War 3, at least to endanger the safety of innocent people by unleashing yet greater suffering should nuclear reactors be damaged as well as the dangers of biolabs where diseases could run rampant.
Suffering, Stupidity. Waste.
Plus, you are trumpeting the importance of continuing this war in Ukraine on which Congress has spent vast sums of money, endangering our own economy and national security here at home.
Too bad Mikey doesn’t believe in reestablishing our former borders, eh ? Nothing is more important over your own nation than Ukraine. Correct Mikey ?
Supporting Nazis. It’s really that simple.
Pence is an idiot!
Who Put Pence in charge of the hotel front desk? Sorry, motel. Motel Sick.
Mike “Judas” Pence is doing his best to turn off the 2% or so of the party that he claims to be the arbiter of. What a loser.
Go to the Southern border where WE’RE being invaded and speak out, you worthless scum.
Pence is sick. There’s no doubt about it. You can’t believe a word coming out of his rotten mouth. He is the kind of narcissist who would send young men and women to fight and die in Ukraine for “the greater good” under the guise of saving Ukraine’s democracy and sovereignty. What a load of garbage. He obviously supports the money laundering and graft.
Get lost 30Pence. You are as jaded and as sick as anyone could be. And you call yourself a Christian. WE SEE YOU!!!!!
God, even his tweets are sanctimonious drivel.
Looking like Pence wants in on Biden’s kick back scheme!
Mike Pence is a tool of the corporate oligarchy that runs America. Wars for profit. Butchering people, trafficking children and money laundering.
War for Profit.
What a fine Christian specimen you are, Mike Pence. ☠️
The GOP is bound and determined to lose in 24. If Trump is not the nominee, they will be crushed. If Trump is the nominee, they will campaign against him.
IMHO
Isn’t he (Pence) shitfaced on leftist RINO KOOL AID !
It’s the same stuff Mitch McConnell & Lindsay Graham are stumbling about DC determined to have a war with Russia over a war we instigated by supporting a coup to toss out the elected government of Ukraine and put up this CIA/State Department Puppet POS to continue the money laundering for the DC UNIPARTY see (Sam Bankman Freud) and his leftist bags of shit parents !
Then there’s BURISMA with a former CIA head on the board warming up a seat for GUESS WHO ??
Hunter Biden , there’s another POS rags to riches just like “THE BIG GUY”
Only in what’s left of America as a great republic circles the drain !
NO pence2024 NO Thanks,
Pence’s betrayals are another reason to vote for Trump.
Mike Pence is a dangerous warmongering nutcase.
Endless wars make some people very rich.
Thermonuclear World War III will destroy everything.
“Men make more money in one day of war than in a year of Peace.”
that about sums things up.
Pence boldly and stupidly demonstrated why he is not qualified to be president.
Of all the predictions facing us, one is absolutely certain – Pence is going nowhere, he will be elected to no office, and his historical memory will pass from any meaningful relevance as mankind marches by.
Bastard.
(SPIT!)
Wonder who paid for this trip – Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed, BAE, etc…. I assume all of the above. FMP
“Americans must sacrifice to support the magnanimous interests of the industrial military complex. ”
There is another advocacy group you are strangely ignoring:
https://www.adl.org/ukraine-crisis
https://www.ajc.org/ukraine
Pence has become so rotten, the flies will no longer land on his head.
Smart flies.
I am concluding there is no room for me in the Republican party unless Trump wins the nomination and even then I will be very selective about which other Republicans I vote for. The war mongers like Pence are not going to be happy about the down ballot results. Unless, of course, that is their intent.
The more the “interests” of Zelensky’s Ukraine align with those of the corrupt Deep State, the more one is forced to wonder what the real reason is behind their hate for Putin….
I liked him better a Race Bannon on Johnny Quest…
He wants his historic legacy to read “..and supported Ukranian Nazis”
Et Tu, Brute
A pompous, lying moron.
It’s amazing how the snakes can go undetected in the grass.
Trump/Pence! Trump/Pence!
It’s sounds so dumb now.
Did he refer to Zelensky as a genius?
Pence is the most despicable of human beings. Pretends to be a Christian but lies to the world with a straight face. There’s a special place in hell for the likes of him.
Can we sacrifice Mike pence instead of sacrificing “…to support the magnanimous interests of the industrial military complex….”?
Hey Mike!
FU Buddy
I do not see an end to the zelensky scam any time soon. WWIII or a Vietnam mess coming to our country very soon? I pray for the future of our grandchildren. The peoples of this area have been fighting and killing each other for centuries.
A first class POS. People describe him as a coward. He is not. None of these people are cowards, for example McCarthy. Nope. They are liars, they are corrupt, they are actors in the delusion and pretending, but cowards they are not. Well at least I don’t know that they are by these actions. They may in fact be. But these actions are not “cowardly”. They are purposeful acts of self interest in the dance of gaining or maintaining power to aggregate wealth. My first glimpse that became enlightenment was Fast and Furious. Our government purposefully running guns from Mexico. Remember the effective “Congressional investigation” that resulted in accountability? Me neither. Do you remember any of those hard hitting brilliant questions by Trey Gowdy during his “Congressional investigations” that changed the world? Me neither. I do remember at the time being fooled into thinking those questions by those suave questioners were forbearers of meaningful accountability. Now I understand my naiveté and foolishness. Anyone who describes these behaviors as cowardly is either masking lies or is foolish. Either way they betray the vapidity of their opinions to me.
I declare that there is no room in the Republican party for war mongers like Pence.
Wow, that was easy. Means as much as what Pence said.
He never served but wants to send our kids to be killed for Z.
Hey maybe Mike Pence should run for office in Ukraine. Oops! But elections have been cancelled there in order for more freedom. At least we have another form of affirmation that Pence is a traitor to those he was supposed to represent.
I just noticed you can’t access Twitter posts, like Pence, unless you sign up, and sign in now. I used to be able to just peruse posts, and now that’s been taken away. Freedom of speech, not happening there. Take note that this happened under Elon Musk too. Anyone else notice this?
Go to Daily Presidential topic and read about it. We’ve all been canceled from reading Twit
Anyone who supports the war in the Ukraine is nuts.
Another uniparty cuck
What makes him think he’s helping in any way?
And how is any of this “in our national interest”?
Hey, Pence, there’s no room in MY country for a fake Christian who supports Nazis.
Or is your income being laundered in Ukraine, too?
I’m tired of wars. I came from a military family. My dad was in Air Force for 27 years(started 1942) and he told me that US problem is sticking our nose in other countries conflicts and making it worse since the end of WWII.
Attacking countries that haven’t attacked us – Korea, VietNam, Iraq, Afganistan, etc, etc end with destroyed countries and US footing the bill. Those that say 9/11 was reason enough to attack Middle East doesn’t fly. Bin Laden was not a country, yet we invaded Iraq & Afghanistan.
And people here is US don’t understand why the rest of the world hate us.
I don’t think so, Pence..
Thoughtful, nuanced, nonsense!
IMHO, Trump is more of a Christian than Pence will ever be.
The Ukraine war has destroyed the people of Ukraine. How is this is any way a fight for freedom?
We need a third, Independent, party.
Does he honestly believe anyone of the 76 million people that voted for DJT give a rat’s behind what he thinks about Ukraine? Or for that matter ANYTHING? Can anyone be that unbelievably clueless?
It’s just mind boggling.
Biden is buying Ukraine and getting kickbacks…Pence is a scumbag…
Judas P. actually believes he is something very special and is probably convinced he has been called of God. You can sense it in his arrogant self-righteous demeanor.
Hope you enjoy that Ukraine money Pence and company. Do your homework and trace where your money is coming from.
Yes, you are in denial of that part. God is counting on your honesty, Judas.
The only man in the Pence family never to serve in the military is…Mike Pence.
GFY Judas pence. It’s ok cause I stopped being a republican a long time ago. I subscribe to the philosophy of me and do not blindly follow the blank.
Pence is nothing but a backstabbing deep state, establishment stooge whose political career needs to be relegated to the “dustbin of history “ where it belongs. Same with former AG Barr.
