Vance’s Cousin Calls VP and Trump Putin’s “Useful Idiots”
Following his three-year volunteer service in Ukraine’s Da Vinci Wolves battalion, Nate Vance, JD Vance’s cousin, condemned Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump as “useful idiots” to Vladimir Putin in an interview with Le Figaro. This sharp criticism stemmed from a failed Oval Office meeting involving Trump, JD Vance, and Zelenskyy, where a crucial minerals deal collapsed amidst accusations of Ukrainian ingratitude and disrespect. Nate Vance directly challenged JD Vance’s distrust of Ukraine, highlighting his firsthand experience fighting alongside Ukrainian forces. He further revealed attempts to contact the Vice President regarding these issues, which went unanswered.
