Mr DeSantis was not speaking off the cuff, but in a prepared answer to a questionnaire put out by Tucker Carlson, a host on Fox News. Describing the war as a “territorial dispute”, he argued that America should not become further entangled in Ukraine when it faces so many other tasks, including countering China and securing its own borders.
And Mr DeSantis is undermining his own priority of standing up to China. If America abandons Ukraine, then Asian countries that depend on America for their security will start to question its reliability. Should they lose faith, some will react by falling in behind China. Others, such as Japan and South Korea, could even procure nuclear weapons. Neither is in American interests.
If this is Mr DeSantis’s thinking, his campaign tactics come with a price attached. The war is not going well for Mr Putin. His armies are failing to make advances. He is losing men and equipment at an alarming rate. Hisis ragged or opportunistic, but not loyal. However, because Russia is a nuclear-armed power, the only way to establish a real peace is for Mr Putin, or more likely his successor, to realise that trying to conquer Ukraine is futile.
DOD off you wankers
🦇💩
American needed a president in the like DeSantis to save the peoples, this decade old President is a big mistake and a very wrong choices of the American, they have practically being control by war mongers in the house and senate.
It’s clearly a blunder, but you are wrong to assign blame to DeSantis for « turning his back on the principles America helped build into the UN after WWII ». America turned its back to these principles way before that!
Unholy nexus with ruling party in centre may be,that's why collegium introduced,now total commission should resign immediately for smoothly enacting the verdict
There's nothing wrong with this man's truth, there are far more urgent issues within their borders, but America has to priorize those nations they need, otherwise why did Laura Richarson meet Cristina Kichner to talk about Argentine's resources? Coz USA needs litium badly.
🙄 I guess spending $Trillion dollars on the RussianUkrainianWar is reasonable after you learn that Social Security is at the point of cutting benefits by 45% in 9 years. After all, what does it matter if a few Americans are in pain when the warprofits are flowing
No. He is correct. The truth is a rare commodity in American politics.
But….he is actually right
He’s trying to be in the limelight. He’ll make more oddball remarks and get more press. It worked for Tump.
Ron DeSantis is poised and seems to be on somebody else's agenda:
I think it is vital national interest to CLEAN UP THE UKRAINE! The Ukraine is one of the worst human-trafficking nations in Europe!
Desantis gets his playbook from authoritarian CCP.
How are Ukranians dying for the national interest of America? Why is someone else to die for your country interest? Send your sons and daughters.
The Economist is gradually losing it's grip on reality - this war is NOT vital to the US. Putin is evil, but Zelensky has done no good by pushing his country to a disastrous war over NATO membership and a hero complex. The US interest is limited to Social Media. As it should be.
The neocon dream is dying yet again.
Why USA, the West, NATO and EU so obsessed with Russia when Zelensky killed Ukrainians who happened to be of Russian origin, the language, religion and culture contrary Minsk Agr that he was voted for....
'The governor of Florida blundered Ukraine....Ukraine? WTH does he got to do with foreign policy? Really? Good God this job sucks......'
War does not solve any problems, dialogue and diplomacy is the way to go. Think about the people impacted because of the war. We tend to take sides but forget that sides are made of people. Be human , do not lose empathy and end the bloody war. No one wins in war!!!
Say's the Warmongers
Ukraine has never been & never will be a vital interest to the US. The propaganda the Economist have written about this war is truly sad. This used to be a trusted and value source for news.
DeSantis is SO out of his intellectual depth in foreign policy and international relationships. The only thing he's really good at is pushing back against phantom 'wokeness' to rally the wackadoodle right wing base
Nope he is right
That is a lot of drama for an economic periodical. Leave the political theatrics to the talking heads.
I doubt that
Over the last few days we were able to access that his words did lasting damage to Ukraine, because we're like wizards and stuff.
He's not wrong.
He’s perfectly right and we the American people think same.Shame on you for not supporting American interests first.
Where are the leaders that seek peace? In the end it is peace that is needed. Until then it is more death and destruction. Why not broker peace?
I thought Ukraine was winning. What happened?
No. They have not done a single damage to America. It strengthens America because our money should be spent on Americans, not Global war hawks and corrupt Ukraine. It is not our responsibility to be funding European border crisis. The media is enemy of the people.
He's spot on
And he is definitely right. America - at first!♥️🔥🇺🇲
I can guess who will be robbed in the next US presidential election.
What does this have to do with Economics. It’s sounds like you are the PR wing of the DNC. I read for economics not political opinion.
What does the Economist, its owners and editors, have to gain from selling a pro-war position?
Of course a UK based news organization wants the U.S. to spend unlimited money defending Europe.
Y'all should start sending your kids over there asap. Tell em to ask for Malcolm Nance. I hear that guy's a real pipe hitter. He'll show em the ropes.
You guys are really something, aren't you? The guy is trying to win a GOP primary and get the support of working class Americans who are sick of funding foreign wars whilst their own needs are not being met. De Santis understands this, so does Trump, you clearly do not.
Ukraine is a waste of our tax money. Work on your own publication to get more interest.
Your rhetoric matches Antifa: 'your words cause damage!' Your publication has fallen far in the last 20 years. Sad!
He's right. You are ALWAYS wrong! F*&*^ng war mongers.
He will be blundering all along. I wouldnt waste anytime on this person if he ran for the nomination.
Cry harder
Ron Dukakis.
This periodical used to be informative and insightful, now it is just one more shill outlet copy-pasting bylines lifted from K-street think tanks that define an appropriate “national narrative.” How distasteful.
Biggest blunder he has made by far, what was he thinking?
Didn't Ukraine invite Desantis to visit? Has he accepted?
There is no limit to the blood that the filthy creatures would spend in the pursuit of profit through war
do you feel threatened by the truth often?
We are throwing money at a corrupt autocracy that is banning Christians, closing churches, newspapers, radio and TV. Oh yea, they have Nazis. Lots of em. See dom_lucre - DeSantis is clearly right. Ukraine is a money laundering weapons sale.
Well the people of Florida did an excellent work voting for this guy, he’s a real treat.
Name a country on the planet that is not of 'vital national interest' to the US?
And damage to military industrial complex profits. I think if you read his statement he is advocating a peaceful solution v. warmongering. The next war will be fought with bio, cyber, drones, missiles. All else is obsolete.DeSantis2024 RussianUkrainianWar
I've personally had shortness of breath, heart palpitations and genital warts since the minute he made those statements. And I turned into a newt.
Ukraine is of interest only to corrupt democrat politicians and the Biden crime family.
It's not our war and the hell with proxy wars
Semitic agenda brought us to this point
When MAGA becomes MRUGA
No one believes you any more.
But how is it a 'vital national interest'?
How?
Are they all in Putins pocket?
DeSantis is right is time to let Europe pay their own way. The United States should quit nato also. Close Ramstien air base and the ones in Great Britain also .
Ron DeSantis has my vote, Ukraine and Russia are the same and I don't care for either if them. Keep our money in US.
This man can not be the president of US. Europe at this point needs the all crucial US patnership and support to stop Putin's crazed desire to recreate another Soviet era control of eastern Europe which is what the war in Ukraine is all about now.
Not a fan anymore of Desantis but a lot of people agree with him 100%.
the speech that can make Donald Trump POTUS again
My social betters insisted that Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria were vital national interests, and just look at those places today. You dweebs have been wrong about every major conflict for the past 20 years. Why should anyone take you seriously now?
Because Floridian Mussolini is Liliputin’s supporter…!
What aligns with your agenda is right and what aligns with the masses are wrong. How ironic
Great governor and potential presidential candidate, until now. I don't believe that as president he would cut Ukraine off and allow Russia to occupy the country, move 700 miles to the west and half-way reconstitute the Soviet Union. But his words will haunt him
No YOUR TAKE is wrong
Ron DeSantis is right!
I never realised how internationally influential and important DeSantis is. I honestly thought he was just one of the 50 state governors but he’s so much more. Kudos.
Opposes the latest neocon proxy war of aggression? Bravo!
100%.
Gov. DeSantis is 💯 right!
Ron de Sycophant.
You paid by the US gov to be a pro war propaganda rag or do you do it for free?
The Economist, 27.2 MILLION followers and almost zero engagement. It's you guys who've blundered somewhere.
Ron Di Santos is proving to be a massive disappointment.
Go getem RonnyD. Americans could not care less who lords over the Donbas region, Moscow or Kiev.
The man who would be President and leader of the Free World is a blinkered chauvinist. Sounds about right for MAGA
What’s this for propaganda?
what does a newspaper owned by billionaires in england know about america's vital national interests?
Bit OTT...
