Ron DeSantis Tells MSNBC He Would Continue Military Aid to Ukraine
Breitbart ^ | 2 Nov 2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 11/02/2023 4:25:11 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday in an interview with MSNBC that he would continue to send U.S. military aid to Ukraine but did not specify how much and for how long.

Asked by MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough if he supported “continued funding” for Ukraine and if so, for how long, DeSantis repliied:

So I would not do what Biden’s doing which is funding pensions for bureaucrats over their pet funding salaries, their funding small business stuff. We were supportive of the defensive weaponry to be able to prevent Putin from taking over the country.

So as president, I’m going to leverage resources. I’m going to get the Europeans to do more. I’m going to do more on the energy side. I’m going to do more on China, which by the way, is the biggest benefactor for Ukraine. But I would not just send checks because I think what they’re going to do is they want $60 billion now, but I think they’re going to come back at the beginning of the year next year and ask for at least another $100 billion. So we’ve already put a lot of money into this. And he hasn’t really been able to articulate a coherent strategy about how does this come to an end?

I think our interest is bringing it to an end in a way that keeps Russia in a box. But it’s not going to have a spend hundreds of billions of dollars for an outcome that’s not much different.

When pressed on whether he supported sending more weapons to Ukraine, he said, “Well, not only that, I mean, I supported it under Trump, and then I supported the initial stuff under Biden.”

Keep digging, Ron. The liberal voters you are courting are good for the Republican nomination but they will not help you in the general election as they vote for their Biden or Harris.

Another deep state Military Industrial Complex grifter. Such a disappointment, meatball. He followed the G W MORON model of winning conservatives over by fighting divisive culture wars, then pulled the rug out from under us by turning out to be another globalist MIC one-worlder neoCON.

The only good thing is that he has exposed himself as a GW MORON clone. Now we know who you really are Meatball.

“...Asked by MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough...”

Stopped right there, maybe RDS is just warming up for Whoopi. Kind of feel sorry for him lately.

War monger, and lover of wasting money on proxy wars. Shouldn’t surprise anyone, since he deliberately got the State Legislature to allow him to keep his job, and get a paycheck while he runs around the country stiffing Florida taxpayers. Many of his recent comments about Trump, the law as it should apply to Trump, and now this, makes me wonder what the hell kind of advice he was giving those Navy SEALS he was assigned to in Iraq.

Trump says he will threaten Russia by telling Putin that America will give Ukraine’s “honorable” President Zelensky “a lot” of weapons and money.

Trump says “we’re going to give them more than they ever got” from Biden “if we have to.”

You know, at first I kinda liked him. But man he’s gone off the edge.

It would have been most wise to have never made an attempt until 2028. Now, maybe not then either.

Me Too!

I thought he would be the perfect VP at the start of this process.

I wouldn’t vote for him for Dog Catcher now.

Sure, let’s fund another country’s war. It’s not like we’re broke or anything.
