PARIS—Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that the U.S. would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Russian President Vladimir Putin won't agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv's long-term independence.
Vance said the option of sending U.S. troops to Ukraine if Moscow failed to negotiate in good faith remained "on the table," striking a far tougher tone than did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who on Wednesday suggested the U.S. wouldn't commit forces.
"There are economic cowtools of leverage, there are of course military cowtools of leverage" the U.S. could use against Putin, Vance said.
Amazing administration, very dramatic. Within 24 hours they went from an almost total capitulation (Hegseth) to threatening war

Yess make them sign a fricking treaty, motherlover!
That way they're legally obliged to follow it, which they will as there never have been any precedents to indicate otherwise. And even if they do break the fricking agreement, we can sanction them as punishment, motherlover!

You've got good passion and have some sense of what the big issues are. Unfortunately you're combining that with absolute shit for brains.
