Poor old JD decided to try to dig upwards to get out of his foxhole. No joy:

1 Key Fact Destroys JD Vance’s Attempts To Backpedal After Apparent Jibe At UK And France
"So who were you talking about JD?"
...
Clearly stung by the criticism, Vance took to X to claim it was “absurdly dishonest” to suggest he was talking about the UK or France.

He said: “I don’t even mention the UK or France in the clip, both of whom have fought bravely alongside the US over the last 20 years, and beyond.

“But let’s be direct: there are many countries who are volunteering (privately or publicly) support who have neither the battlefield experience nor the military equipment to do anything meaningful.”

But numerous people pointed out that no one other than Britain or France has confirmed they are willing to send troops to Ukraine to keep the peace, meaning it is unclear who else he could have been talking about.

1. Trump to Lil Marco'--- "Go fix this!" What a bunch of clowns playing leaders

2. UK Trump-humper claims of "patriotism" have become very tenuous

Very difficult, if not impossible to reconcile Trump-humper claims of patriotism with President Fart blatantly siding with Russia and working against Europe (and indeed his own countries best interests).

It doesn't help when you dive into some of the movements involved with Trump and find strong undercurrents of anti-British sentiment, as expressed by JD Vance.

3. "Let's be direct." or "Let's be honest." asserts a purported deviation from his default position of dishonesty.
