Earlier this month, he said the invasion of Ukraine was “not a vital interest to the United States,” but now he says Putin’s invasion is a “mistake.” Eugene Scott, Eugene Robinson and Sarah Longwell join the Meet the Press NOW round table to discuss Ron DeSantis’ (R-Fla.) recent messaging changes over Putin’s war in Ukraine and its effects on a potential race against former President Trump for the GOP nomination while Biden’s approval nears his administration’s lowest.

#DeSantis #Ukraine #Putin

He’s flipp flapping 😂really not ready to be president he is a killer who got lucky with covid by not doing nothing he came out looking good but u can not be a president who doesn’t do nothing. No policies on national or international issues covid wasn’t super contagious by not behaving carefully he became a face for the party of lawless and small gov when conviniente
DeSantis should leave international security to the real leaders, his 'competency' is bullying drag queens, gays kids, and other vulnerable people. Just a disgusting person!
Well. It’s no surprise. The vast majority of Americans like Ukraine a lot more than Russia. Ukraine is successfully defending it’s home against a monster sized invader that regularly lobs missiles into cities, killing women and children. Pretty hard for the Russian stooges to spin this their way.
Putin Kim Xi: horsemen of the apocalypse
This is a really far reach haha. You can consider putin a war criminal while also not supporting the war hahaha. This is just a desperate group trying to twist what he is saying to fit their own narrative.
DeSantis fails to admit that the US pre-planned this proxy war against Russia utilizing Ukraine's military, thus making himself an obvious liar, shame on him for aligning with this US led war against Russia.
Softball DeSantis, pandering to others ideas, a blank mind with ZERO original thoughts.
…..world affair , he knows
none of it
he is just one lucky man
sitting at the governor's
bench that's all in my view
him becoming president
ehe ehe
kkkk

Politicians are such frauds-that they could simply flip-flop over such a fundamental issue with so many far-reaching implications tells me he will say anything the American want to hear just to get into office, after which point he'll be able to do much more of what he wants.
Zelenskyy was so hysterical during his last video conference with EU leaders that they decided not to make this video public. Zelenskyy strategy is reduced to rounding up civilians often at gunpoint and throwing them into a meat grinder. It reminds a strategy of one Austrian artist in 1945.
Difference between DeSantis and a fart in a windstorm ? DeSantis won't go away . 😢
It makes no difference who the president of america is as he /she will be working for the Genocidal plans of that Satanic country💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸💩💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸💩🇺🇸
Americans won't go for another warmonger. After two more years of the Ukraine war, they will want a peacemaker. DeSantis won't get elected as an establishment Republican.
DeSantis has zero foreign policy experience and thus susceptible to neocon pressure. Most Americans are sick and tired of wasting hundreds of billions and even trillions on stupid wars .
I think both things DeSantis said can be true.
War criminal bush, biden, obama, trump, republicans and Democrats
Putin : “Another clown again . I’ve seen so many come and go “
Ukraine already lost most trained and motivated soldiers along with almost all hardware it had before the war plus hundreds of tanks and IFVs it got from Eastern Europe (to understand the scale of losses it had 1 990 tanks, 1 212 IFVs, 1 112 heavy artillery systems, 354 multiple rocket launchers). Its army is a shadow of its former self at the beginning of the war. Zelenskyy is catching and forced conscripting often at gunpoint mostly people with zero motivation to die for him, who never served in the army, often disabled. When such people are in the trenches, it means that the front can collapse at any moment . According to WaPo of all places Russians have 1:6 advantage in artillery (you can imagine their real advantage). 85% of Ukrainian soldiers are killed even without seeing an enemy. Biden administration is getting quite desperate and hysterical. The only option left for Biden administration is to throw Polish army into a meat grinder. I just hope that Polish government isn't that crazy.
Stupid stupid pindos))) It doesn't matter what you say about Ukraine, Putin, Trump's Russia and so on… The whole world knows that this war is beneficial only for the USA))) It's just that many are afraid to talk about it, fearing American pressure. But that doesn't mean that no one knows what's really going on)))
It was not s flip flop! Ron was mis represented on Ukraine and the Dems. ran away with it!
He didn't "change course". Thats how people tried to spin it!
Spineless
DeSantis and Trump are both tarred with the same brush
To be honest, I think 4 years of DeSantis presidency will be worse than Trump , the guy with no mustache 😂 you will cry , I don't care Biden he keeps falling on stairs and his job approvals is low and its true no jobs out there everything is expensive no jobs the companies starts sending people home, listen no hope. but I don't see who's coming 2024 . Maybe Kanye West needs to come back and start crying on his campaign.
Who are all these unknown people!? Desantis the best
500000 moved to Florida last year from all democratic states to republican Florida
DeSantis 😅 he plays too much. He keeps changing his mind and position on Ukraine
Two Words "Iraq, Afghanistan"
I think some stuff is about to come out re: trump and putin.
He may be trying to distance.
Nobodies shocked ! He’s a puppet ! That man has lied so much. Didn’t he like live out his mom plans on a sports team or some crazy stuff?
Desantis may be the Dumbest Harvard Graduate ever to serve in public office. He dose not have the intellectual depth to be the President.
KAREN DESANTIS 🤡
IT'S A POLITICAL PLOY
ONCE A RECHUMPLICAN ALWAYS A RECHUMPLICAN
CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸
"LET'S HOLD TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN"
DeSantis a flip flopper. Lost his spine, has he? I was thinking of voting for him, but I am less likely to now.
This guy has no spine and no integrity.
What about George Bush? Would you also call him a war criminal? He killed millions in Iraq.
The vvar criminals previous to Putim: Nixon – Unauthorized use of force against Laos and Cambodia, Clinton – Unauthorized use of force against Yugoslavia, GWB – Unauthorized use of force against Iraq, Obama – Crossing the UNSC mandate for the No Fly Zone and expanding it into an open aggression against a sovereign state of Lybia, GWB+Obama+Trump – crimes against humanity (jailing and torturing inmates without a fair trial in the Guantanamo Bay camp), GWB+Obama+Trump – crimes against humanity + crossborder agression (drone strikes without a judicial approval and the permisson of the country involved most notably in Pakistan = in essence extrajudicial killings)
Ron the con disgusts me how do people even vote for this psycho extremist.
Biden lawyer
Exactly why DeSantis should not be a candidate. At this juncture, the United States needs someone who has command of international security and detente. Who understands policies that govern international relations and trade.
Read everything to the people
Garbage Florida governor is a great 🤡 show of really screams and shouts at kids that is not his.. liz Chaney for president in 2024 on a debate stage she will undress 45 for what he is …
DeFascist is not presidential material.
DeSantis can't feign that he misspoke and his words were misrepresented. He was a Navy JAG which makes him definitely qualified to understand the geopolitical conditions around this globe. DeSantis' pandering to the ultra-right, who love and adore everything Putin does, will not set well in a general election. Russia and China are the greatest threats to the U.S. and anyone in the U.S. who supports Putin is supporting a war criminal.
All he is saying is who’s going to pay for all of this.
Ohhh Crap…. I meant to say Go Ukraine… 🤫🤡
Rep have to defend Trump. Because to attack Trump you will make the Dems look good. Also Rep don't want to upset Trumps cult maga followers. As they can't afford to lose any potential voters. Ron and all other Rep running are in a awkward position!
Desantis is garbage! He doesn’t need to do anything but step down
the De Fascist culture wars(gays ,blacks, wokeism, mickey mouse, books, collage students ) will not fly with majority of the voters in a general election …the American people doesn't want a Taliban style government .
