Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.

Sorry for the headline. I don’t know why they don’t just say it’s Vivek Ramaswamy.

To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.

    I’m so glad he feels confident enough to do such a thing.

    You would have thought that not been Ukrainian would make him think he has no right to make that decision, fortunately not.

      Yeah. The USA is the one supplying the most monetary help, but I doubt Ukraine would just give up, if that help stopped.

        US is supplying the most military hardware, the EU leads when it comes to finances.
