DeSantis calls Russia-Ukraine war a territorial dispute, questions US involvement | The Hill

By Thomas A. Smith

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 response to a questionnaire on Ukraine sent out to possible 2024 presidential candidates by Fox News s Tucker Carlson.

The Biden administration s virtual blank check funding of this conflict for as long as it takes, without any defined objectives or accountability, distracts from our country s most pressing challenges, the Florida governor said.

This is not good. It is in our national interest to defend Ukraine, because the rest of Eastern Europe is next up in Putin’s plans. And we also aren’t going to sit back while Putin goes forward with genocide in Ukraine. At least I hope not.
