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.

      Yes he does. He just does not care. This guy is evil, not stupid. He has said many, many smart things before. He can sound pretty compelling saying super crazy shit now. Not an idiot.

      He listened to all the people that said “can you imagine what a smarter Donald Trump would be like” and though “ya, let’s go for it”.

      The only saving grace is that he is also at about zero percent chance of becoming President.
