Even we have normalized how stupid those people are [View all]

Speaking to Kristen Welker on Meet the Press Sunday, the vice president vigorously defended Trump’s push to end the war through give-and-take negotiations—rather than the sanctions and ceasefire demands he once leveled at Vladimir Putin.

Using the Second World War to illustrate his point, Vance claimed concessions and diplomacy are vital to end major conflicts—but seemingly forgot that the war ended due to unconditional surrender. “If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I. If you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation,” Vance said.

Unfortunately for Vance, World War II not brought to an end, but came to a close with the unconditional surrender of Germany on May 7, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945.

not a post about this here nor any real coverage anywhere else.

Just imagine had Harris said this while she was VP.
