“And I was talking about what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, and we were like, maybe it’s Iran, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the UK, since Labour just took over,” Vance added.
He thinks Pakistan might not count as a “truly Islamist” country, but the UK does (but only since last week).
I think it's more that he's uncertain that they are a nuclear power, not whether he finds them "islamist" or not.
Well that just shows that he's ignorant on international affairs, because I'm pretty sure Pakistan has nukes.
Abdul Qadeer Khan’s network fueled both Pakistan’s, and multiple other countries nuclear ambitions. Pakistan deffo has nukes, and very likely helped Iran and North Korea on their path to the same.
How does somebody go from calling Trump America’s Hitler to his vice president pick?
Bootlicking. Lots and lots of bootlicking.
Vance has mever been anything more than a fucking weasel who appeals to suburbanites who absolutely detest poor people.
...He doesn't think of Hitler as an bad guy.
come on, you know why lol
He bent both knees
Political opportunism.
The UK is not.

I'm not a fan of any country identifying as a theocracy.
Neither am I. My point, if I had one, was more about the fact he was being Xenophobic. Not like he isn’t part of the group trying to establish a Christian state here.
Yeah, this is an (unfounded) accusation that they're establishing a theocracy for the wrong religion.
American here. I'm not quite getting the "said quite a lot of fruity things in the past." From context.
Anyone care to explain it?
Never heard of this guy but he seems pretty American.
