JD Vance’s Phony Mineral-Rights Red Line

In Monday night’s interview with Sean Hannity, Vice President JD Vance declared that “if you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine.”

“That,” the vice president continues, “is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”
