What has Trump's VP pick JD Vance said on matters of US foreign policy? 🔹 The Ohio Senator has been strongly critical of continued military aid to the Kiev regime, writing in an editorial in The New York Times that “the math on Ukraine doesn’t add up.” Vance…
US Senator JD Vance said in an interview that he was initially skeptical of former US President Donald Trump in 2016 but now views him as a great president.

"I don't hide from that. I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind. I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans because he delivered that peace and prosperity," Vance said on Monday.


The remarks were in response to the interviewer Sean Hannity's question about a 2016 text where US Senator JD Vance described Trump as a cynical figure like Nixon and compared him to America's Hitler.

"I bought into this idea that somehow he was going to be so different, a terrible threat to democracy. It was a joke," Vance said.


JD Vance added that US President Joe Biden is undermining American law and order by attempting to imprison his political opponents and destabilize the nation's legal system.

Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that Vance would be his running mate in the 2024 US presidential election. However, Biden said he does not intend to let the duo win the White House and asked people to donate to his reelection effort.

“Everyone with a brain in their head knows that this is going to end with negotiations” – Trump running mate Senator JD Vance

Thump's VP pick questioned US policy towards Ukraine during a previous appearance on US television.

“Our Ukraine policy is unsustainable. The average age of a soldier in their army is 43 – that's tragic, that's older than me," Vance pointed out. "No one can articulate what $61 billion will accomplish, so we need to be pushing a negotiated end to the war."

US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance said that Trump would negotiate with Russia and Ukraine to bring their conflict to a rapid close.

“I think what President Trump has promised to do is go in there, negotiate with the Russians and Ukrainians, bring this thing to a rapid close so that Americans can focus on the real issue, which is China. That's the biggest threat to our country,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News.

Ukraine military brigade celebrated Trump assassination attempt – report

The social media channel of Ukraine’s 79th Air Assault Brigade celebrated the shooting of former US President Donald Trump Saturday, according to a Sputnik contributor, appearing to take credit for the assassination attempt.

Security analyst Mark Sleboda made the revelation on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Monday.

“Was it crazy for me to think that it could have been Ukraine immediately without any information to suspect that Ukraine could have been behind it?” asked host Garland Nixon, noting the Ukrainian government-connected Mirotvorets website that urges the killing of those it deems “enemies of Ukraine.”


“It's not crazy because actually the Kiev regime's official social media channel of the 79th [Air Assault] Brigade, they celebrated it,” Sleboda claimed. “They thought it was their own [intelligence].”


“They said our intelligence, our SBU is great… That goes, I think, to the nature of the regime in Kiev that the West is supporting and its most ideological militants and supporters. They would have been quite happy to see Donald Trump assassinated,” the analyst clarified.


Despite the air unit’s boast, there is no evidence linking Ukraine to Saturday’s incident.

Who is JD Vance?

Ohio Senator JD Vance was elected to Congress during the Republican Party’s “red wave” of 2022.

After graduating from Ohio State University and Yale Law School, Vance worked at Chicago’s Sidley Austin LLP law firm before moving to San Francisco to pursue a career as a Silicon Valley venture capitalist. In 2016 he became a principal in conservative entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s firm Mithril Capital.

Vance’s memoir Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis briefly made him a liberal darling as he reflected on the socioeconomic concerns of rural Appalachia, writing about his family’s background in Kentucky and Middletown, Ohio. The Washington Post declared him the “voice of the Rust Belt” while The New York Times wrote that his account was “one of the six best books to help understand Trump's win” in 2016.

JD Vance was initially highly critical of Donald Trump, calling the former US president “reprehensible” and claiming he was a “never-Trump guy.” Vance changed his views by 2018, claiming Trump “recognizes the frustration that exists” in post-industrial parts of Ohio and other Midwestern US states. He strongly supported Trump’s reelection campaign in 2020 and claimed the real estate magnate lost due to far-reaching voter fraud.

Trump’s selection of Vance as his VP pick provides him with a running mate from a perennial US swing state as the former president seeks to appeal to voters who proved crucial to his 2016 victory in Midwest states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Imminent Doom: No remedy against Russia's unstoppable Iskander missiles

There is no effective protection against the Iskander-M mobile ballistic missile system, Russian defense conglomerate, Rostec, stated on July 16, commenting on the Military Watch Magazine’s report that the system's high maneuverable missiles are extremely difficult to detect or track.

The mobile weapon complexes have proven effective in the zone of the special military operation. The Iskander-M carries highly powerful warheads, enough to destroy a building, warship or fortification.

According to the manufacturer, the system has gained prominence not only for its destructive power, but also the capability of hitting the bull's eye.

"During the special operation, the Iskander has demonstrated sniper precision. Missiles can deviate literally by a few meters," Rostec commented.


Last Sunday, Military Watch Magazine described what it called Russia's new "double strike" tactics, reportedly employed by Iskander-M crews in the special military operation zone. While the first strike usually inflicts serious damage on the enemy, the subsequent one maximizes the impact, per the online publication.

"The missiles launch fire on semi-ballistic depressed trajectories with apogees of around 50 km, and can conduct extensive in-flight maneuvers throughout their entire flight paths," the magazine noted. "This not only makes their missiles extremely difficult to detect or track, but also allows them to use their fins to maneuver much better than would be possible on standard ballistic trajectories."


The Iskander-M brigade's equipment comprises 51 units, including self-propelled launchers, transport-loading vehicles, an integrated automated control system, technical condition monitoring equipment, and a data preparation station.
