Oh, the irony is thicker than a D.C. lobbying dinner. Here we are again—Joe Biden, the man who oversaw the single largest foreign policy debacle since Vietnam (hello, Afghanistan?), offering advice on how to manage the Russia-Ukraine war. And not just advice, but moral condemnation. According to Biden, the Trump administration’s blunt-force style of diplomacy with Zelensky was “beneath America.” That’s right—beneath the country that gave us Benghazi, the Iran Deal, and Hunter’s little art side hustle. You can’t make this stuff up.
Thankfully, Vice President JD Vance, who apparently still possesses a functioning memory and a grip on reality, was more than happy to set the record straight. Vance reminded us that under Biden’s watch, Russia didn’t just rattle sabers—they rolled tanks, launched missiles, and triggered a full-scale war that has now drained billions from American taxpayers and sent inflation skyrocketing. That’s not “modern-day appeasement,” Mr. President. That’s modern-day incompetence.
Vance’s response? Classic. “I don’t really care what he has to say about American foreign policy.” And why should he? Biden’s foreign policy legacy reads like a how-not-to guide for the next 50 years. From his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to the whiplash-inducing about-faces on China, Biden has treated international relations like a confusing TikTok trend—jumping in too late and flailing around while the rest of the world cringes.
He continued to say, “If we just did the opposite of what Joe Biden did, I think we’d have one of the most successful foreign policy administrations in a very long time. So he can spend his time on the beach or doing whatever Joe Biden does. We’ll continue trying to fix the problems that he created.”
But here’s the kicker: Biden accuses Trump of appeasement. Trump—the only guy in recent memory who actually got NATO to pony up, called out Germany for cozying up to Russian gas, and dropped bombs when necessary to get a point across. Remember Soleimani? He’s not tweeting from Tehran anymore, is he?
Meanwhile, Trump is out here doing what Biden never could: actually pushing for peace. A ceasefire, direct talks, a roadmap to a resolution—call it what you want, but at least it’s action. Not some meandering, word-salad press release from Foggy Bottom. Trump’s push for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire is, frankly, more than Biden’s State Department has offered in months. And the best part? Trump’s willing to be “available on a moment’s notice” to help close the deal. That’s leadership. That’s what a Commander-in-Chief sounds like—not some beachside retiree phoning in soundbites between naps.
And let’s not forget Vance’s parting shot—telling Biden to enjoy the beach and let the grown-ups handle the mess he created. It wasn’t just a jab. It was a reminder that the Biden administration has been all optics, no results. Remember when “adults were back in the room”? Well, if this is what adulthood looks like—confusion, chaos, and caving to foreign powers—I’ll take the so-called chaos of Trump’s administration any day.
Vance has been down this road before—shrugging off media pearl-clutching with a firm “I don’t really care.” And honestly? That’s what more conservatives need to embrace. Stop dancing around the fake outrage. Stop pretending Biden’s critiques are serious. Call it what it is: projection, from a man whose foreign policy has been defined by disasters and whose party is more concerned with virtue-signaling than victory.

The American people are watching. They’re seeing who talks about peace and who perpetuates war. They’re seeing who gets results and who makes excuses. And come November, they’ll remember which team stood for strength—and which one stood on the sidelines whining about tone while the world burned.
