DeSantis: Ukraine Aid Not 'Vital' National Interest
Newsmax ^ | March 14, 2023 | Fran Beyer

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says protecting Ukraine against Russia's invasion is not one of America's "vital national interests" in the face of more pressing issues closer to home.

In a statement broadcast on Monday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," DeSantis, a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, countered President Joe Biden's oft-repeated vow that the United States' support of Kyiv is "unwavering" and will continue for as long as needed.

"While the U.S. has many vital national interests — securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party — becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them," DeSantis said in the statement.

Ron, this has been going on a year now. The issues today are the issues 2/24/22. The only differences? We’re out $150+ Billion, tens of thousands of dead Uke and Russian boys, a Chinese/Russian/BRICS+ alliance to contain West Woke Green Global Hegemony, we sit on the razor’s edge of imminent World War. Ron, where have you been? We could have used you. Why now?

All they are doing is appealing to a base that is ignorant of real world threats.

Trump is the only one forceful enough to come in and demand that both sides make a peace.

And even that would require threatening Russia as well as Ukraine.

I cannot help but wonder how much of the support for Ukraine is to permit the continued viability of a state whose main purpose as per the elites is to launder money for the deep state, to engage in human trafficking. and to maintain the 17 Ukrainian sites for development of biological weapons to be used for population reduction for Bill Gates and his ilk.

The sad part is that the people of Ukraine are the victims of this persistent war footing to keep the military-pharmaceutical-industrial complex in operation and in the money.

There is no profit for them without disease or warfare, so they create both and rely on our patriotism to support them, in the hopes that we never dig deeper to determine the cause of our misery.

A pox on them all.

Maybe ALL of it?

Dennisw has informed us that we are misinterpreting DeSantis comments. In other words, he’s lying.

Few governors if any have a foreign policy role so opinion when asked is about it...especially if one is a prospective presidential candidate.

I agree with him 100%. We have NO national interest in Ukraine other than rooting out the corrupt Biden Administration’s involvement in hiding our money-driven complicity to the money-grubber Zelensky.....

I think DeSantis is candid and tends to business.

Who is this Dennis, the six year old comic strip noisemaker?

He's been governing Florida.

And winning reelection by 20 points.

He's been kicking ass, not spewing verbal diarrhea on Truth Social.

Then why the hell is “zero” talking about it now? Round and round we go, whoopee! Is he referring to Ukraine County, Florida?

That, as well as, blackmailing Biden because they have all the receipts on Biden’s corruption.
