‘A Full-Throated Isolationist’: Glasser on J.D. Vance’s Embrace of Viktor Orban’s Playbook

RUSH EXCERPT:

GLASSER: "I should point out as well that Orban has been perhaps Vladimir Putin’s most important remaining interlocutor in Western Europe, he has much to the dismay of his partners in the European Union. He has continued to engage with Russia, he has sought ways around Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and to continue economic and political ties with Russia, and J.D. Vance from the very beginning, campaigned not just as a well, I’m not really sure about it, but a full-throated isolationist. He has more than most all Republican senators, he has consistently taken Russia’s line. He has dismissed Ukraine’s right even to defend itself."
