Zeeshan Aleem: DeSantis' policies on Ukraine are simply Biden ideas dressed in Trump clothing.

, who is all but certain to officially declare his 2024 White House ambitions any day now, has issued a statement on the war in Ukraine and entered the fray on the most hot-button foreign policy issue of the day. But it’s a weaselly statement. DeSantis sounds as if he is aligned with Trump on the war, but the language isdesigned to make him look more opposed to President Joe Biden's policy than he is.

The statement ticks all the boxes on right-wing nationalist rhetoric: “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,” it reads.

. “Like Biden, [DeSantis] says he worries about escalation risks and the possibility of direct conflict between the U.S. and Russia, but he can’t be seen acknowledging that Biden holds these same views,” Larison writes. DeSantis resolves this predicament by using vague innuendo to imply that the status quo in the Biden administration is more hawkish than it is.

'Never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up.' Barack Obummer

MSNBC is gone woke, time for them to go broke.

Russia invaded Ukraine because of Joe's weakness. Period!!!

If Trump was in office right now there would be no war in Ukraine. Case Closed!

Everything DeSantis does is just imitate

Greatest argument against DeSantis

DeSantis has no international or negotiating experience. He has no original policy ideas & is a bully. Hmmmm…Not such good qualifications for a Presidential candidate.

Sort of like Biden’s ideas?

Rather Ukraine was invaded under both Obama and Biden due to weak foreign policy but not under the GOP who gained respect and fear from adversaries.

God bless trump

DeSantist And Trump Are Both Unfit For Any Office!!!!!

The twisted narratives from the dems and left when Ukraine was invaded under both Obama and Biden but not under Trump and the GOP who gained respect and fear from adversaries.

Biden has no ideas

The majority of Americans do not want thier tax money being spent to support a war of expansion for the e.u

All negative stories on Republicans while you run cover for Biden and the democrats.

GOP believes in MAGA, Make America Great Again, while the dem left believe in BAD, Bring America Down.

You all can make up all sorts of crap… keep telling yourself it’s true.

LibertyAtRisk Exactly

Me, Freedom!

The lapdog🐶

Horrible and not cindoning what is happening in Ukraine but the dem left do not care about our own borders and unvetted illegals coming in with drugs killing our young

The twisted warped fake narratives and attacks from the dem left and people gullible enough to believe them, when Ukraine was invaded under both Obama and Biden due to weakness, but not under Trump who gained respect and fear from adversaries.

Ukraine is corrupt.

nice picture

Don’t make me do math

Hahahahahahahahaha biden has no policies. biden has lost his marbles. Someone else running the show.

Enough is enough. Stop obsessing over Trump. It's the only thing you talk about. MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep thinking about this tweet I saw the other day and it describes DeSantis perfectly: 'Trump 2.0 without the charm.' The perfect description.

Biden is suggesting that the Republicans in Congress won’t pass his budget because they don’t want to fund the police, fight crime and clean up our cities when from day one the Democrats we’re the only ones that rioted, burned cities to the ground and defunded the police.

So Democrats will vote for Desantis?

Stop playing politics, DeSantis, when it concerns Ukraine. Ukrainians are very sensitive to what is politically stated by persons seeking higher office. They are the ones fighting for their country & Democracy. Many have died for freedom. Their freedom is your freedom.

Just say GovRonDeSantis is an authoritarian wannabe. So tired of people minding words. Goebbels’ maxim works just as well if you repeat the truth over and over.

That’s a no brainer.

If stupidly could fly she’d be a jet👎👎

Bid is the worst president the world has ever seen 👎

How bout discussing the property tax system. Is now an instrument of tax slavery where “We Who Govern,” do not, DO NOT! Own our homes and land. Tax departs own all our property from now and all future years. Lest we pay our TAX masters, since we are just Tenants. What say you?

?

Horrible man with evil intentions…pay attention voters

Sending ukraine abrams tanks was once off the table too but yet here we are.

DeSantis won't you take me by the hand. DeSantis won't you take me by the hand. Can you show me the shine of your Japan. The sparkle of your China. DeSantis, DeSantis. I'm gonna sell my house in town. DeSantis, gonna sell my house in town......

Why does anyone give a shit about he thinks about Ukraine…

Watch 🚨Movie (suspense) SEVEN DAYS IN MAY. released in 11964. Republicans all the way. Stay WOKE those who know the right definition.

Ukraine stooges

Except with lifts to make him look more 'alpha'.

Of course he is with Russia. He follows their policies.

How many Republican voters support Trump/ DeSantis’s views on Putin? Do they truly want to see our country go backwards?

There’s a scary image!

What in the Hell does that even mean? So Simple...

The problem for RDS is that all his waffling on Ukraine will amount to nothing. He'll be labeled 'anti-Ukraine' anyway.

You just lie msnbc your queen of fake news.

How come every tweet by MSNBC is a lie

Ukraine was never worthy of a treaty! Fact… but now we spend billions while nato sits on their delayed time response!?

Horrible and not condoning what is happening in the Ukraine but the dem left should worry as much over our broken borders with over a million plus unvetted illegals coming in posing a security risk and with drugs killing our young

That is what the dem left do, twist, warp, distort, deflect and project. Attacking and blaming DeSantis? Rather Ukraine was invaded under both Obama and Biden due to weakness, when not under Trump who gained respect and fear from adversaries.

A lot of DeSantis on MSNBCreep TV lately. I guess MSNBC is getting scared of him too 😄

He is not fit to be president. His only appeal is to an esoteric group of the ignorant.

This headline is so stupid and trivializing that I will not click on the article.

This Mr. is more lost than a mouse at home depot.

Don't listen to Ron DEATH SANTIS.

Things are going great in Ukraine! If we end up with DeSatan, we be doing good if he still implemented Biden's plans

Kind of like Biden's Build Back Better is just stolen from Make America Great Again.....same thing.
