Anti-peace Mike Pence said Sunday that President Donald Trump needs to bring the “hammer” down on Russian President Vladimir Putin with additional secondary sanctions.
After meeting with Putin at a high-stakes summit in Alaska, Trump shifted from advocating for an immediate ceasefire deal to a broader “peace agreement” between Ukraine and Russia.
In an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Pence described Trump’s style in dealing with dictators as the “velvet glove” approach but said he thinks “the hammer needs to come, and it needs to come immediately.”
If anything, he uses the velvet glove with the Euro-globalists and Vlad Zelensky.
I don’t know who gave President Trump the idea to sanction India heavily to lure Putin to the peace table, but it sucks. Don’t use India.
Mike Pence is urging Trump to escalate tensions with Russia rather than pursue a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
He warns against the “velvet glove” approach, insisting the hammer must fall immediately.

Dude, seriously, STFU and go get a real job. We get it. You’re an opportunist corporate GOPer whose ego is being stroked by going on leftist shows and spouting anti-Trump tripe as they clap and squeal. You really believe they’re having you on for anything other than you being a trained monkey whose touting their narrative?
Wow, right to the point. He is serving the warmongers!
No matter how much Pence appears on TV and tries to impress the deep state neocons, he is done, he is never going anywhere. But he seems to still be trying. Notice that people like Pence, that oppose Trump’s tariffs, claiming it disrupts the economy, causes inflation and job loss, are anxious for Trump to implement super sanctions against Russia.… Read more »
