His cousin, Nate Vance, recently criticized Vice President JD Vance for his handling of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his position on Ukraine.During his Monday appearance on CNN, Nate Vance shared pictures of himself as a child with JD Vance before critiquing the vice president’s strategy regarding the conflict in Ukraine.He accused former President Donald Trump and JD Vance of attempting to curry favor with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a different interview with Le Figaro.

It’s obvious that Donald Trump and my cousin think they can appease Vladimir Putin. “They’re mistaken,” Nate Vance said. “The Russians will not forget our backing for Ukraine.” We are the helpful fools of Vladimir Putin.Because both Nate and JD Vance’s fathers were brothers who served in the U.S. Marines, they both come from military families.
