KremlinTV Celebrates J.D. Vance As Trump's Running Mate
“It’s being said that Vance is Trumpier than Trump. If Donald Trump is assassinated, another Trump would remain,” gushed host Olga Skabeyeva.
Russians are celebrating and popping open the champagne as their preferred choice for Trump's running mate is now officially in the race. They hope, and with good reason, that if Trump is elected all American military support for Ukraine will end and they can go back to taking Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe they held when the Soviet Union existed. That's the mad dream of Vladimir Putin anyway. And with Trump and J.D. Vance's help, it's certainly a possibility. So it's no wonder that Kremlin propagandist was so giddy the other day. Or why Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was in such a good mood talking about J.D. Vance.

Russia's Foreign Minister could not believe their good luck.
