Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said on Thursday that sending seemingly endless aid to Ukraine comes at the “expense” of combatting China.
Vance said that Ukraine’s government has a “corruption” problem and called Russia’s conflict with Ukraine a “quagmire.”
He then said that sending so much military equipment to Ukraine makes it harder to deter China should conflict arise. Vance explained:
We have sent so much of our munitions down, so much of our military-grade equipment down, if we have to fight a war against China – which I think is far more likely and, frankly, it’s a far more dangerous opponent – that’s what worries me, is that the focus on Russia comes at the expense of China.
