JD Vance’s primary win in Ohio represents a fulcrum moment for the America First movement, because it validates that a populist nationalist approach to foreign policy can prove decisive with 2022 voters. In fact, Vance’s insistence that America reverse course and de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine provided the most crucial policy differentiator against his opponents.
Consider the backdrop of a highly contentious primary in Ohio, one where JD faced a constant barrage of attacks, from both the leftist corporate media as well as from Republican operatives and organizations. The globalist Club for Growth poured the gargantuan resources of multinational big business into saturation TV advertisements maligning Vance. In total, his primary opponents and related groups outspent Vance by more than five to one.
The Beltway foreign policy complex clearly identifies Ukraine as next opportunity to rev up Washington’s war machine. They envision the next Iraq, or a new Afghanistan. Nothing empowers the permanent political class more than war. It swells budgets, rewards giant contractors, elevates lobbyists, and allows the effete dilettantes of Foggy Bottom and D.C. think tanks to treat the world like some game of globalist chess. Only, in this corrupt version of the game, the deplorables are always the pawns, the suckers who pay the price in American blood and treasure for needless warfighting and constant nation-building.
