Major Media Outlet Caught Twisting JD Vance’s Words
Opinion by Nick Pope • 18h

The Wall Street Journal misrepresented the words of Vice President J.D. Vance in a Friday headline that suggested he made threats to use military and economic force to get Russia to agree to a deal that would end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The WSJ interviewed Vance for its Friday piece about ongoing efforts to wind down the Russia-Ukraine war, headlined “Vance Wields Threat of Sanctions, Military Action to Push Putin Into Ukraine Deal.” However, the vice president did not explicitly threaten Russia with military actions or sanctions, instead stating generally that all options are on the table for President Donald Trump as he seeks to negotiate an end to the war, according to portions of the interview transcript released by Vance’s staff and the publication.


“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,” reads the opening paragraph to the WSJ’s story. A tweet from the outlet’s official account promoting the story stated that “Vance pledged to hit Russia with sanctions and potentially military action if Putin won’t agree to a peace deal that guarantees Ukraine’s independence.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I would have lost $$$ betting on SEE BS.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

The Wall Street Journal is just as left wing as the rest of them.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
