JD Vance is a Ukraine-skeptic in the sense of opposing the prosecution of the war as presently conducted and with current goals; but he has also said recently that it would be against America’s interest if Russia were to march on Kyiv or a similarly extreme outcome. So in a different framing one can say that he actually has a moderate position on the subject. He would likely lean on Ukraine to accept a loss of territory in exchange for a ceasefire but he would not facilitate an outright defeat that resulted in the dissolution of the country.

To me the big question is sustainable peace vs three-year interlude before round 2 (really, round 3). The "peace" proposed in Apr 2022 would have Ukraine's own army reduced to a tiny size, *and* banned security agreements with other countries, which was clearly totally unreasonable. Ukraine needs conditions where they have a reliable guarantee of Russia not attacking again, and people can confidently invest in the country (both funds investing their money, and citizens investing their time by returning/staying) without fear it will all be erased - or else it has no way to get economic growth. Political incentives always lean toward the photogenic short term handshake and narrativizing away medium term issues as "not our problem now".

He specifically tried to get House Republicans to tank the Ukraine Aid package, has snubbed meetings with Zelensky, and refused invitations from his R senator colleagues to learn more about the conflict. He's the same kind of isolationist who would have allowed Hitler to seize all of Europe.

I Don’t think Putin wants to march on Kyiv; if he would have wanted he could have done it. He want a neutral Ukraine, with no NATO trace. That to me is a very logical demand and really hope that a new administration in the US could seal peace 42 $degen

@adam-
His purpose is to convince skeptics by presenting some illusion of a steady hand and then kiss the ring. On those two accounts he'll fulfill his obligations.
