However, he does have other platforms as well, including Newsmax and the One America News Network (OAN), who have their own legal problems with lying to their viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51138\" target=\"_blank\">Newsmax and OAN Added to Smartmatic\u2019s Billion Dollar Lawsuit for Pushing Trump\u2019s \u2018Big Lie\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fulfilling its Trump-fluffing mission, OAN hosted Vice-President JD Vance on The Matt Gaetz Show to discuss recent developments with the Trump administration&#8217;s ongoing failure to resolve the Russia\/Ukraine war as Trump had promised. And predictably, Vance offered a full-throated defense of Trump&#8217;s views, which just happen to be exactly the same as Vladimir Putin&#8217;s. The opening question by Gaetz was both biased and leading. But most of all weird&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Gaetz:<\/strong> Sources have told me that Russian president Vladimir Putin has suggested that sanctions relief could result in Russia moving more of their energy commodities in the U.S. dollar, functionally giving the United States a lot of control over U.S. energy markets that could lower energy costs for Americans. Do you see economic cooperation with Russia as one of the things that could bring an end to some of the hostilities that we want to see concluded?<br \/>\n<strong>Vance:<\/strong> Absolutely. And it\u2019s one of the carrots that we\u2019ve thrown out there. And the president has been very open with both the Europeans and the Russians that he doesn\u2019t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia except for the continuation of the conflict&#8230;Let\u2019s be honest. Whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they\u2019ve got a lot of oil. They\u2019ve got a lot of gas. They\u2019ve got a lot of mineral wealth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:3ilzhrzkar3icae4mfyupmqp\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lyi44en6uc25\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreig5msw4dihzidq24m2eoslcgdgftsjlr7jx3jbtkyndgnwmfuvux4\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Vance stated that the Trump administration does not seek economic isolation of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:3ilzhrzkar3icae4mfyupmqp?ref_src=embed\">WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:3ilzhrzkar3icae4mfyupmqp\/post\/3lyi44en6uc25?ref_src=embed\">2025-09-10T11:14:03.230Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>REALLY? Vance just justified giving Russia a lucrative economic deal that he said would enrich both Russia and the U.S. And he thinks that&#8217;s an appropriate <em>&#8220;carrot&#8221;<\/em> for the barbaric invader of Ukraine who has slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent civilians. After all, as Vance says, Trump <em>&#8220;doesn\u2019t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Vance also brought up what he thinks are the issues that are most important to both sides. He said that Russia just wants 6,000 square kilometers more of Ukraine, and that Ukraine only wants security guarantees. Both of those are profoundly shallow assessments of this very complex situation. Russia has been adamant about controlling all of Ukraine, that Putin thinks belongs to Russia. Conversely, Ukraine is determined to maintain their sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>In Vance&#8217;s tiny and twisted imagination, Russia can be persuaded to end their assault by making economic deals with them for energy and natural resources. These are deals wherein Ukraine is left battered and divided and subjugated to Russia. Meanwhile, Russia gets much of Ukraine, lots of money, and a fair chunk of American subservience. The latter is already evident in Trump&#8217;s neglect to do anything about Putin&#8217;s recent escalation in Ukraine, or his flying drones over Poland.<\/p>\n<p>Virtually every recommendation offered by Vance benefits Russia and harms Ukraine. And he places the blame for the war on both nations, despite the fact that it was Russia that invaded their peaceful neighbor without provocation. So there is one thing that Vance is making abundantly clear: Putin could not have have bought a better advocate than Donald Trump and his lackey, JD Vance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66182\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Flunky Kari Lake Taps MAGA Propaganda Network, OAN, to Be the Voice of Voice of America<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66877\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Congratulates OAN for Getting \u2018Millions of New Viewers\u2019 That They Didn\u2019t Actually Get<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67201\" target=\"_blank\">TACO Trump Gives Putin Another 2 Weeks \u2013 No, Really, 2 Weeks \u2013 and He Really Means It This Time<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unrelenting campaign of propaganda that is dispensed by Donald Trump and his administration appears to be inspired by the PR campaigns of entertainment media, particularly the reality TV genre that birthed Trump himself.
