DeSantis' Ukraine u-turn: Florida Governor now says his 'territorial dispute' comments were 'mischaracterized', calls Putin a war criminal and says Russia is 'basically a gas station with a nuclear weapons'

[Governor Dinwiddie]

What a wuss. Puts his finger to the wind to see what way the breeze is blowing. You don't have to be rocket scientist to see this is a war of globalist multinational criminal new world order GloboHomo oligarchs against Russia. Russia's real crime is that they refuse to go "Woke".

[Flavious_Maximus]

Will DeSantis call Bill Clinton a “war criminal” for ordering a missile strike on a commuter train in Serbia killing hundreds of civilians.

Is G.W. Bush a war criminal for ordering the bombing of a safe house in Iraq that contained numerous children.

[TTFlyer]

I’m done with this guy.

[hinckley buzzard]

That line about Russia being basically a big gas station is not original. He stole it from McCain who said it in 2015–“Russia is a big gas station masquerading as a nation. “ Bad look, borrowing from John McCain..

[kiryandil]

Well, that's it.

He's gone "cabin boy" for Linda Graham and John McCain.

Screw him.

[Equine1952]

CYA much Ron?

[cowboyusa]

Russia is a 3rd rate Power. China is the threat.

[jimjohn]

Facepalm.

[Nervous Tick]

>> I’m beginning to feel like DeSantis, who used to seem like a fairly authentic man, has started listening to “advisors” recommended by the ever-more-woke RNC.

DeSantis knows nothing about foreign policy, and he’s going to get his ass kicked on that topic. He’s been talking about Ukraine, what, two weeks now, and already a major total flip-flop. President Trump will mop the floor with him on that one issue — and guess what? Foreign policy and the risk of getting entangled in a stupid war are beginning to matter to the electorate.

However... you’ll REALLY know he’s been bought and paid for when his domestic policy positions change. That’s gonna suck for Floridians going forward.

Not exactly subtle quotes!:

"He also rolled out tough talk against Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him a 'war criminal' and saying he should be 'held accountable,"

"while dissing Russia as 'basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons' during a week when Putin huddled with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Moscow."

[cowboyusa]

He called Russia a 3rd rate power. It is. Putin was wrong to invade Ukraine, and it's not our business. China is behind it all.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Their “rich cultural history” begins with the Mongols, who dominated in Muscovy for many years. They never really left. The predatory instincts still show.

[cowboyusa]

Puri is a War Criminal and it’s not our busniess. Both are true.

[cuz1961]

Yup. Not a good look Ron. .

[odawg]

Thinking that DeSantis is ready to be advanced to the White House is like hiring a high school football coach with a winning season as an NFL head coach.

[cowboyusa]

They are no threat to us.

[Nervous Tick]

>> He stole it from McCain who said it in 2015

Well that about makes me puke. It won’t remain a secret for long, either.

[cowboyusa]

What did he say that’s untrue? Russiais a 3rd rate power that will never fully concor Ukraine, and is no threat to us.

[JonPreston]

He self-immolated. He wasn’t able to keep the Neocon genie in the lamp.

[Yogafist]

Of course, he is going to answer to the donors, and the Republican party. He is beholden to them, unlike Trump he can’t stand on his own, he needs the party and the support. That is his problem, he will do whatever the deep state tells him to do.
