JD Vance explains that if Zelensky has a problem with Trump’s policies he must not confront him in public. Okay. But then he returns to the topic of elections, gives the example of UK and Churchill who “found out that he lost the British election at Potsdam” and then says this:
The idea that you cannot have elections in the midst of a war is, I think, kind of a preposterous idea. And the President has made very clear that he thinks that should happen. So, you know, that is, that is American policy. And I think it’s. It’s pretty simple and straightforward
Wait, what? UK had elections in 1935, then the next one was scheduled for 1939 but was suspended because the WW2 broke out. The next elections only happened in 1949, two months after war ended but effectively ten years after the previous ones. What is he talking about, maybe I just don’t understand what he says correctly?
