DeSantis’s statement exhibits ignorance.

We should not need to remind supposed Republicans that America supports Ukraine because that’s in our national security interest. Putin wants to reconstitute and expand the Soviet Empire. Countries on NATO’s eastern flank realize the Russian dictator will not stop at Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the return on our investment is amazing, without a single American soldier’s boot touching Ukrainian soil; however, if Russia crosses into Eastern Europe, the United States will be required to send troops to defend against further Russian aggression. Someone should remind Tucker Carlson and DeSantis that it’s better to stop Putin in Ukraine without spilling American blood than engage in a shooting war.
