To paraphrase Upton Sinclair, as long as Vance stands to gain power and wealth from supporting Trump and telling the Pope what lane the Pope should be in, that is how long Vance will be a unable to see war as a morality issue.

@courtcan @DrALJONES Speaking of money and morality, I read somewhere that this whole thing came up because Vance pushed Trump to beef with the Pope because it'll help sales of his (Vance's) upcoming book.

@ZenHeathen @DrALJONES UGH, I would not be surprised in the least. He might not be as bad as Trump (tho my jury is still out on that), but he's still a grifter.

Vance is Thiel's protege. Vance as VP was part of Thiel & Musk's deal with Trump.
Just as Pence was part of Trump's first deal with the Christian right.

@DrALJONES This. And they are part of the deeply fascist and eugenic #TESCREAL ideologies (therefore no morality or ethics at all.

@DrALJONES War and peace are among the most profound moral issues, as they directly affect human lives. It is natural for them to be discussed from religious, ethical, and political perspectives. Different views here reflect differing understandings of the roles of religious and political leadership, but ultimately the protection of human life should remain the priority.
