Nate Vance, the cousin of U.S. Vice President JD Vance and a volunteer fighting on Ukraine's front lines, said he is "disappointed" in his relative's stance on Ukraine.

Vance, a former U.S. Marine, defended Ukraine from 2022 to January 2025 as a member of the Da Vinci Wolves First Motorized Battalion, a volunteer unit.

"Being your family doesn't mean I'm going to accept you killing my comrades," Vance said in an interview with Le Figaro published on March 9.

Vance's remarks come at a low point in U.S.-Ukrainian relations, as Washington has halted intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv. The freeze followed a contentious meeting in the Oval Office between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Volodymyr Zelensky.

1. surely by now he must realize JD is a total Trump whore

the interests of Trump, well, trumps all

2. Ugly is how you know it's real.

One guy in the family gets handed a job by a babbling traitor lunatic and doubles every cowardly lie, the other defends someone else's country out of a sense of duty. I wonder who the honorable one is. Ha.

3. I applaud his courage in serving to defend Ukraine 🇺🇦

And in condemning his worthless POS cousin 👏🏼

4. How does JD look at himself in the mirror.

He is as evil as Trump, only smarter.

5. Marginally smarter, perhaps...

... but, as you noted, every bit as much a sociopath, and therefore, incapable of any sense of shame for his despicable, self-serving words and actions. And, being a textbook sociopath, he is an unrepentant liar, though not as blatant and reckless about it as the Orange Gargoyle.
The ends for both of them cannot come soon enough.

6. And remember, smart + evil is NEVER a good combination. n/t
