Vance is one of Trump’s most vocal supporters and an outspoken critic of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

. . .

Vance has said that it would be “completely irresponsible” for Ukraine to join NATO. He has also argued for the U.S. to focus solely on preventing Chinese expansion, even if that means sacrificing sovereign Ukrainian lands to Russia.

“Any peace settlement is going to require some significant territorial concessions from Ukraine, and you’re gonna have a peace deal, because that’s the only way out of the conflict,” Vance said in February.

              Wasn’t USA siding with Phalavi against Khomeini?

              I think you might have to point into another direction in that case.

                Yes, the US backed Pavlavi, they’re the ones that gave him power over the more democratic system they had before. He hunted people (primarily leftists) down with secret police and ran the country terribly, as the resource colony it was, to the point that the conditions were created for a revolution, and since most of the leftists had been killed, the fundamentalists were able to take advantage of the situation.

                  I don’t think I should even reply to this pile of disinformation.

              I agree with a lot of what you said, but the US inventing Islamic fundamentalism is a comical take.

              Abrahamic extremists have been useful idiots of those in power for thousands of years. The US is just the latest to take advantage.

              The real problem there is religion is poison
