J. D. Vance, military strategist?

I have been convinced that J.D. Vance lacks integrity.  Now I learn that he also fails as a strategist.  Lots of Republican members of Congress are enamored of Putin, but most don’t publicly support his goals.  Vance does.


Yesterday in an article entitled “The Math on Ukraine Doesn’t Add Up,” Vance wrote that the West couldn’t supply enough shells and other weaponry for Ukraine to win.  The smartest thing would be for Ukraine to negotiate the best deal it could get, giving up territory in return for peace.


Vance makes the typical civilian error of equating weaponry with power.  Thank goodness he wan’t around during the American Revolution, when an out-gunned and poorly-trained American army defeated the strongest army on the planet at the time, although we did get aid from our ally France.  Vance would have been right over there with Benedict Arnold.  


And why would Putin agree to stop once people like Vance throw in the white towel?  I hope the voters of Ohio come to their senses and show this surrender monkey out the door.
