Here is the actually quotation:

“”But the second reason why is that they have unfinished nationalistic business dating back to their civil war in 1949. And if that’s the sole basis for Xi Jinping going after Taiwan after we have semiconductor independence, then you know what? I am not going to send our sons and daughters to die over that conflict. And that’s consistent with my position on Ukraine as well.”

It is perfectly consistent with most of the positions found here at FR on Ukraine.

It is not at all the content of the headline.

I wonder if people are paid — perhaps by the DeSantis campaign— to come on here and make hyperbolic claims about how they hate Ramaswamy.

No - that's the position of the neoisolationist, draft-dodging wing of the Freerepublic.

The majority of us who have spent some in the wide world know that we are obliged to fight for our interests and allies. - you know, the Men's Department of the Freerepublic.

There are some people posting here that purposely leave out context or large parts of what another candidate may have said in order to mislead people. For some it happens rarely and was simply in error. For others it happens a lot and is deliberate.

It is disgusting and so RAT-like.

PS. Saying “most of the positions” is “argumentum ad populum”.
