Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted President Biden’s support of Ukraine on Monday and argued that helping the European nation fend off Russia’s invading forces is not a vital national interest. that he plans to run for president in 2024, issued the statement in response to a questionnaire sent by Fox News host Tucker Carlson to all major prospective Republican presidential candidates last week.
“While the U.S.
DeSantis indicated that he against a policy of “regime change” in Russia, saying that it would increase the likelihood of nuclear weapons being used and could produce a leader “even more ruthless” than Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Because it's not
I agree 100% with him we need to totally pull out of there and not give them another rent cent.
You might want to reconsider if you want to win the election.
He is correct
mazzenilsson True. It will become vital after Putin success if according to rumours Putin will set up missile bases in Venezuela and Niquaragua. Isn’t it vital for the US to keep Putin in Europe?
And he’s right
That is the correct stance, IMO. Its a European problem. Rooting for Russia to get a bloody nose and, frankly, to lose, but our priorities should be our southern border (1) and to prepare for whatever sinister plots China has in the works. China threat Russia.
Why is the US “all in” on Ukraine?
And he is totally right.
neither is the red tide of fungus choking out the coastal areas of Florida thanks to his big sugar donors but he’s traveling the country like he’s Bill deBlasio
I agree with DeSantis
And he's right.
He's right.
George H.W Bush said 'Read my lips: No new taxes'....
Yea right he had a different tune last week TRUMP2024
Yep, it’s not 99% of Americans can’t point to Ukraine on a map either.
Um his stance is basically Biden’s!! Lol minus the billions of dollars
Thank you GovRonDeSantis
Agreed. It's detrimental to America.
This is a ridiculous take. I suspect pro Russian motives
Highest percentage of pedophiles in the world and a comedian leader!!
based
I am 100% sure that as soon as Ron Desantis or Trump wins, support for Ukraine will not only decrease, but on the contrary will increase. Since the elections are coming soon, the Republicans will say everything against the Democrats.
The man gets it
Is it?
yet he sent his Natnl Guard there for a year rather than protect FL border. FL is 4th i illegals, 3rd in human trafficking. Fraud.
He is correct.
The problem is, when the Soviet Union fell, NATO promised to protect the Ukraine if they would give up the nuke weapons it controlled. IMO, a strong response from NATO, before Russia invaded would have stopped Russia from invading and got both sides to negotiate a better option.
This is why I will never vote for him or his ilk.
He is right!
But stopping drag shows and banning textbooks is. Got it.
Ukraine invasion is just extension of post WWII after USA tried to chum up to communists initially.
If the Europeans don't care, why should Americans. They were told for years to stop buying their gas and pay your NATO dues, and they did neither. Now they want our blood and treasure to defend those borders. Sorry, NO!
Darn him for speaking the truth.
He is correct. Spend that money on the US Mexico border wall. Make it 50 feet higher with machine gun turrets on top.
People are suffering here because of this US proxy war with Russia and they're using Ukrainian citizens as cannon fodder. If you support this war you support senseless death and military complex. They've been bombing there OWN people for years. No more aid to Ukraine from US!
Totally disagree with him. Russia becoming a bigger power and able to sustain itself with the land of Ukraine is not a pretty idea
Don't get it wrong, the UN/NATO and US invaded Russia.
Putin sympathizer.
ScubaMySteve I think Mike Pompeo might be the last guy in the GOP that actually gives a damn about the US's geopolitical power.
True
It’s time to America first
I'm interested to see if he still does want to support Ukraine. Notice he said it isn't a 'vital' interest. He never said we would stop supporting them. Regardless, he's my preferred candidate, and I hope he continues our support for Ukraine against Russia.
That is correct. We have enough to worry about RIGHT HERE
What a maroon!
Absolutely correct. They can’t even take part of Ukraine, one of the weakest countries in the world, yet people are afraid about them going into Europe.🤣🤣
it's all based on revenge. Only three countries, the UK, Mexico, & the Soviet union threatened the United States. Two of them are pacified. The third is involved in an ethnic Civil War, where every death is a ex Soviet death. Which is a good thing for the Americans. ;)
No lie detected
And he is right
We wouldn’t be in this situation with a different President. Especially the previous one.
Suuure it is…the US is just trying to keep its regime in place
mazzenilsson us should have no business at all in other peoples ' courtyards.
Facts are facts. Desantis 2024 🇺🇸
Let’s say US drop interest in Ukraine. Russia eventually overpowers & wins. You really think Putin, someone desperate for return of USSR is going to stop there? Next is Georgia & Moldova with Finland, Lithuania & Estonia worrying all while Russia lands firmly on NATO’s doorstep.
Breaking, DeSantis buried his presidency.
He’s right!
He has my vote!
Russia and China and North Korea would agree
And had we let Hitler do his thing. Im sure it wouldnt have been our problem at all.' Its like way over there... in a teenage girls voice'
It’s not
Ron DeSantis, Kremlin spokesman. Ask Charles Lindbergh how America first worked out for him…. The governor of Florida will go the way the former governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, went. The more people see him, the more people dislike him. He has the personality of a pet rock
He's right.
So, when is going to be vital for US? When the Soviets get their war ships in the Caribbean? Or when they attack other country? Remember how Stalin started…
Where is the lie?
He said the protection of our homeland will always come first. Of course it does. Why is this an issue?
The GOP is in full capitulation mode to Putin and Russia. Such a far cry from the GOP of the 80s I grew up seeing.
It's vital to the MIC. After Biden surrendered Afghanistan, they needed a new revenue stream.
He’s right.
In other news, the sun is bright.
Agreed
💯
Agreed
He should be president… but peeps are gonna do what they are told. Piss their money and kids futures away and pretend they are doing something honorable.
He changed his mind
You lost me.Desantis
He is correct.
Double no-shit Sherlock
This meatball is supposed to be “ex military “ ? He should know that Russian was always an enemy in unspoken ways. He should be happy that they’re bleeding financially
I agree.
No that’s not what he said , he said peace should be our objective not creating a situation where we have to deploy troops or spend a blank check .
He’s smarter than that! But right now his base wants to hear that. Once he gets the nomination the tune will change
And DeSantis would be correct.. DefundUkraine
If Ron DeSantis is going to morph into Donald Trump, there is no reason to support him.
Well, yeah, duh...
Weak
Love this guy. He is the perfect leader America needs.
Foreign policy is critical and when you have people like dantis trump who simply understand it vital to it’s country. Definitely I can say full hearted Dantis knows nothing and simply we able to be compromised as trump.
Vitalis a strong word. The damage has been done to Russia already as the world has seen how inept their army is. Continuing to keep them in a quagmire is a cost effective way to continue to damage a geopolitical foe but hardly “vital” at this point.
RT GovRonDeSantis is correct UkraineRussianWar is corrupt
RT Zelenskyy millionaires 1000s of Zelensky millionaires steal billions escaping to Poland and Dubai Shinto Abe told nato to stop UkraineRussianWar is corrupt WEF Biden choice Ukraine over OhioState
Somebody needs to say it
How the actual fvck is restraining Russian aggression NOT in US security interests? The ghost of Saint Reagan weeps. What next, opposing China is not in US security interests?
AfrDiasporaNews
He's not wrong.
It's true.
Exactly
He's right.
Facts!!! Its not Vital to anyone other then the Industrial War Complex and Brown communities have no interest in sending our kids into another War of profit.
Does Ron DeSantis really come from a mob family?
DeSantis and a lot of republicans. Love the natural enemy of USA … they love Russia.
He is speaking the truth
Agreed, Americans first!
He is correct
He's 100% correct
Obviously correct.
Putin has already said he wouldn’t stop with Ukraine. 🇺🇸
Loser
Truth
He’s intentionally inviting help from the Kremlin for 2024.
he's correct
Power is intoxicating and makes you think your better than you really are! 😌
Governor DeSantis is 💯% correct
And an expanding Russia is in America's vital interest? The pattern of American cowardice has led to these perpetual wars. Sometimes the sissy has to stand up to the bully.
Agreed.
Slavi Ukraini 🇺🇦
Yup
He’s right. It really isn’t vital for US interest. It only helps a select few who have investments in Ukraine.
Regime change in Russia via a proxy war in Ukraine is not in America's interest and is spending us blind
Coz He has bigger interest in war with China
Well he's right
Meatball Ron looks like a smithsonian imagination of a copper age hatchet salesman
HE'S DAMNED RIGHT!
Ron is not vital to US interests; minus it being vital that he’s gone.
Russia owns the GOP. They all grovel at Putin’s feet.
More MAGA pandering by DeathSentence DeSanctimonious. Hold the meatballs.
Americans are crazy.They broke so many states where they didn't have to go at all,and here Ukraine is defending the entire east of Europe,and this communist will say that this is the businessof Russia and Ukraine.Republicans are the same as Russians.Insidious, cowardly communists
Yet he supported the 2014 color revolution in Ukraine. He’s such a typical politician. Makes me sick. Trump2024
💯 % correct. Its a European problem.
Only vital for the ones making cash off it!
Yep. Sending tax money and weapons which Bidie has played Hold My Beer game with Obama needs to end.
Ukraine fucking around means they should be Finding out by themselves
Good decision
Whatever... DeSantis endorsed by Soros he'll say whatever he supposed to say from his handler
This isn't going like y'all thought is it? Unless you enjoy getting trashed and shitted on in which case this was great!
Unless it's humanitarian aid, peace brokering, or involves a NATO country being assaulted, we really have no business.
Issued a statement and avoided an actual interview for deeper questions.
where where you pro ukrain mfers when people where getting killed all over the world ? or is a white country more important ?
He
yes, he's absolutely right. what do we get from helping ukraine other than WW3?
Imagine if the US took this stance during the Cold War
Completely agree.
And he is right. It is a European war.
Correct.
He is right, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed
If the West took the Russian invasion threat seriously, they would have stopped Putin before Feb 24, 2022. He spent 4+ months building up his forces on the border with Ukraine. NATO or not, a show of a huge joint defensive force would have deterred him.
He's just now figuring that out?
He is not wrong.
You just lost my vote dude....
And he’s correct
So I'm guessing he'll be announcing his policy to cut aid to Ukraine? Nah. Meatball Ron is too scared
True
And he is right.
Exactly! They're not part of Nato! Zalinsky has billions of Americans tax payer money. Audit where and how those funds were spent! I can tell you 2 new mansions and several vacation homes already accounted for, but the rest?
He’s right
1000% accurate
Agree. No more money to Ukraine
Correct.
Thank you!!
lalovestrump Although I love what he’s saying . He’s being read by the Jews in power. Look up “protocols of Zion”
Geopolitics. If we don’t fight Russia, via Ukraine, we’ll have to fight China in Taiwan, with NATO boots on the ground.
Wasred4skins 100% Agreed, Not our Flag, Not our Problem, You can't help people if you can't take care of your own
Trumps biggest flaw is his inability to pick anyone who doesn’t backstab him. we can’t do another 4 years of daily sabotage. Too many serious issues. Has to be Desantis
Imperialism and colonisation are the main US interests, what is he talking about?
Finally. Thank you.
AMEN.
He is right.
He is right....
And he's right.
He is going to run on this issue and win, Americans are worried about their own country, and they should be, we are falling behind the rest of the world, I give zero fucks about Ukraine, neither does anyone else I know.
Lol and just like that... he's done.
100% agree
American liberals need a boogeyman. Team Covid failed. What happened to the liberals of the 60’s? Todays liberals worship big PHARMA and they now want war?!!! What happened?
He is right
Wonder what he would say if this was the 1930s and Russia was a little more German
Well it isn't a vital US interest. It never was.
Protecting democracy in Europe is a core US interest.
Absolutely.
no shit Sherlock
Americans first
Fact check: ✅
DeSantis will you win the battle against Trump, it sure looks like the 2 of you are bringing back the Hitler phenomenon, remember cults like what you and Trump are flinging on the public never last they die an untimely death!!!!!
He's awful about everything but this issue
Sending unconditional arms help to Ukrainians has turned many Americans into Russia-sympathizers … this is unheard of and is getting out of control …
AG_Nole8387 America should have stayed out of it.
He is correct
I think weakening Russia is a vital US interest. And this war with Ukraine is doing just that. Russia will be left a shell of its former self and can be brushed off while the west focuses on China
Here comes the Ukyi bots
He isn't lying.
This guy is two faced , he will say one thing and do another . Deep state Ron
Ask yourself why this is the first war where no one apparently wants a peace agreement?
Thank you, Bid Daddy Ron! Best president ever.
Because it’s not. We don’t care about ukraine. Stop spending our money.
He is wrong
Who doesn't agree with this?
Lol the lefties are going to have fun with this one. Here come the Putin's puppet Trump comparisons
Somebody realized Trump was right and he was going to get buried following the Rino m’s. I don’t believe him tho
Correct
he WHAT?!?
He is correct
He’s right. I would’ve liked to see him say we would stop funding them all together, but he made a decent statement.
Floriduh
And he's wrong how?
👍🏻
Ron Desantis looks like one of Ghost’s former members
He's not wrong.
As a conservative boomer I am concered by these statements. We boomers have been voting for proxy wars and airstrikes for decades, and I'm not sure I can vote for him in good conscience if he does not promise more wars, even if he promises to expand social security and medicare!
