Former Vice President Mike Pence just emerged from political obscurity to undermine President Trump’s peace efforts.
The establishment never-Trumper is back to his old tricks again.
And Mike Pence launched this shocking attack on Trump’s Ukraine strategy that proves he’s still bitter about 2020.
While President Trump has been working tirelessly to broker peace and end the bloody conflict in Ukraine, Mike Pence has suddenly reappeared to push the establishment’s endless war agenda.
In a recent interview, Pence directly contradicted Trump’s peace plans with inflammatory rhetoric about Putin.
“Vladimir Putin doesn’t want peace. He wants Ukraine,” Pence claimed, ignoring the progress Trump has made in getting both sides to the negotiating table.
The former Vice President, who has been largely invisible since leaving office, suddenly has strong opinions when they can damage Trump’s diplomatic breakthrough.
“The fact that we are now nearly two months following a ceasefire agreement that Ukraine has agreed to, and Russia continues to delay and give excuses, I think, confirms that point,” Pence said, conveniently forgetting Trump’s administration saw no major Russian aggression.
This mirrors the warmongering establishment’s desperate attempts to derail Trump’s peace initiatives before he even takes office.
Pence pretended his views come from personal experience with the Russian leader.
“I’ve met Vladimir Putin. I have studied his leadership in Russia, over the decades, and I really believe that Putin only understands power,” Pence claimed.
The disloyal former Vice President didn’t stop there.
He essentially called for prolonging the conflict with endless military support—precisely what Trump has criticized as the failed Biden approach.
“In this moment, we need to make it clear that the United States is going to continue to lead the free world, to provide Ukraine with the military support they need, to repel the Russian invasion, and achieve a just and lasting peace,” Pence declared, directly undercutting Trump’s commitment to ending the bloodshed quickly.
Pence tried to criticize the Biden administration while conveniently avoiding any mention of Trump’s successful peace initiatives.
“The wavering support the administration has shown over the last few months, I believe, has only emboldened Russia,” Pence stated, failing to acknowledge that Trump’s approach ended the fighting in his first term.
The bitter former Vice President continued his warmongering.
“We continue to see their brutal assault on civilian populations, claiming innocent lives,” he added, pushing for an escalation that could drag America deeper into foreign entanglements.
Pence then broadened his hawkish stance even further.
“This is not just about Ukraine, for me,” Pence concluded, hinting at the neocon vision of expanded conflicts that Trump has consistently rejected.
His comments come just as President Trump’s foreign policy team is already delivering results with their peace through strength approach—not the endless wars Pence and his establishment allies seem to crave.
Meanwhile, as Pence promotes more weapons and prolonged fighting, Trump’s team has already established diplomatic channels to end the bloodshed that began under Biden’s watch.
The timing of Pence’s sudden reemergence speaks volumes about his true motives.
President Trump’s strong America First approach to foreign policy during his first term left his administration with no new wars and no major Russian aggression—facts Pence conveniently ignores.
This desperate attempt by a failed Vice President to undermine Trump’s peace initiatives shows just how threatened the war lobby feels by Trump’s return to office.
The military-industrial complex that Pence seems to represent is terrified that Trump’s diplomatic approach is succeeding where Biden failed—bringing an end to a conflict that has cost countless lives and billions of American taxpayer dollars.
With Trump firmly in the White House since January, Pence’s desperate effort to sabotage peace negotiations exposes his true allegiances—and they’re not to the American people who overwhelmingly voted for Trump’s vision of peace.
