Fuck yeah. I hope it's him and Kamala. Harris Kelly 2024.
He's my top choice for VP as well. :)
I want to watch the "support the troops" folks shit on a vet and an astronaut. That wouldn't play well with the traditionally red voting military.
The dude is a national goddamn hero. I get the reasons not to choose him, but I like him for it.
I donated to Harris and Kelly. Hoping you get to see that. The awful feeling when some of the older vets I know stood up for Trump after he tried to make fun of McCain for being a prisoner of war. Ick
Guy is 60. I'm becoming a fan of Beshear.
*Sigh. I'm saying pick the person who can run and win in 8 years.
Is there a quick tldr of what Kelly wants to do regarding Ukraine?
TL;Dr: Something.
Seriously though, this was his official statement back in December: https://www.kelly.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/kelly-statement-after-senators-meeting-with-ukrainian-president-zelenskyy/
Thanks, it says
"... Abandoning Ukraine at this moment without the ammunition and weapons they need would be a massive gift to Putin and a strategic error for our own national security. Time is running out, and I will continue working with my colleagues in the Senate to find the necessary agreement to move this critical aid package forward."
Can I presume that Vance said basically the opposite?
I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.
-JD "Couch Cushion" Vance
Well it's a question of how deeply the US should be involved, rather than Russia vs Ukraine per se.
Vance's stance is that he doesn't care. I can extrapolate that means he is against helping, so no involvement. Because even if he didn't care but wanted to give Russia a black eye, he'd pretend to care.
Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks.
I honestly wish that Kelly was up for president, but vp is nice too.
Well, he would still be second in line. This would be closer than he had been. And if Kamala wins, it'll be quite a few VPs to Presidents.
Whoops, wrong keyboard shortcut posted before I'd finished typing. Removing.
