Let's remember that Vance is a custom-made product, or at least so it seems to me. He is/will be hated by libtards for his 'traditional values', possibly real, like abortion, same-sex marriage, cancel-culture, immigration issues, and so on. And that's where the MSM owned by Democrats/Liberals of various colours comes from. They don't mind the bigger picture and behind-the-scene ties and connection which are the

Wars will continue, China will be in crosshair probably, and TMIC will keep making big money as usual, feeding on people's deaths. If someone has any problems with it, Thiel's friends from the country "fighting Hamas" at the moment have state-of-the-art tools and collected files to keep everyone in line.

Peter Thiel Is Very, Very Interested in Young People's Blood). Nothing suggests that he has any moral reservations about that, or anything else for the matter. If there is an Antichrist on this planet...
