A disgraceful proposal that would make a wider war much more likely.
Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance has unveiled Donald Trump’s supposed ‘peace plan’ for Russia’s war against Ukraine.
And as many feared, that plan amounts to giving Fascist Russia what it wants:
JD Vance says that Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine is to let Russia keep all the Ukrainian territory they currently occupy (nearly 20% of Ukraine) and give Russia a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO and any other “allies institution” [EU?]

“I’ll shorten it for you:
The Trump/Vance plan for Ukraine is to sell out Ukrainians, carve Ukraine up, and abandon them to be pushed around and abused by Putin for the rest of their existence.
They’re campaigning on giving Putin what he wants on a silver platter.”

This is what Russia has demanded from the beginning, meaning the Trump-Vance ‘peace plan’ isn’t a peace plan at all, but is in fact simply a surrender to Russia.
Make no mistake, this would be the equivalent of Chamberlain’s ‘peace in our time,’ which was a short-term deal that not only failed to bring peace, but further emboldened a fascist expansionist state to launch even more brutal wars of conquest.
This is sad to see. Not only is it dangerous for the United States, North America, and the world, it also shows how far the Republican Party has fallen from their once noble tradition of standing up against authoritarian states like Russia. Everyone benefits when America has a strong, centre-right, pro-Western, pro-freedom, pro-national defence Republican Party. Unfortunately, under Trump & Vance, that Republican Party doesn’t currently exist.
