Marine. Whistle-Blower. Advocate. Dad. Trained foreign officials in anti-corruption measures. Represented the US abroad in CVD/anti-dumping investigations.
@Claybats_elSane@yashar@pdoocy No. Used to be that way under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). But, that went away in the 1980s. Now it's FERS.
@laic@eimisja@Raphfel France participated in Afghanistan and routinely sends troops for UN peace keeping missions. France is already in discussions with Ukraine to deploy troops.
@rapppingdadddy@ArtCandee So, at bottom, Trump wasn't able to negotiate a peace deal. The fault here, obviously, is with Vance because he sabotaged Trump's negotiations. This is likely why Trump wouldn't endorse Vance for 2028. He realizes Vance doesn't have the emotional intelligence to lead.
@rapppingdadddy@jonojonovich@ArtCandee The US just needs to seize the Russian assets held in US Banks, since Russia started the war. No more Ukraine debt. Next complaint.
@risingonfire1@ZelenskyyUa@POTUS It sounds like you haven't watched the entire meeting because he did.
Vance's reaction is likely why Trump didn't endorse him for 2028. It's becoming clear that he doesn't have the temperament to lead the free world.
