Even giving Vance all the credit in the world (which I will only do this once), the negotiations he's alluding to at the end of the second World War are exactly why Putin is parking tanks in Ukraine right now.

So, J(erk)D(oofus), even if we forget that America dropped two nuclear bombs on Japanese civilians, the negotiations are not something to be excited about, historically.

Yeah. It was negotiation on dividing up the land among the victorious allies. Not negotiations with the axis.

I don’t give him credit because I doubt he knew that.

I don't know, I'm sure Peter Thiel gave him a tremendous rundown on Nazi history...and a sensual back rub.

In which case he’s just making up facts to support what he wants to do. Yeah that’s even worse.
