“Trump’s message is, ‘Don’t believe your eyes. Everything’s fine. We’re very close.’ That’s obviously not true. And what Vance offered is a slightly more honest picture, which is that this could take several months. The problem is that Vance doesn’t seem to think that’s a bad thing. He doesn’t seem to realize that Americans are suffering. Our allies are getting bombed. Our alliances are getting weakened. And the war is dragging our economy into an abyss.”
“And just to say, it could take a couple of days or a week or several months is a completely unacceptable answer to the American people after they entered a war with no justification, no legal explanation, no strategy, and no realistic plan for getting us out of this thing.”
