Ron DeSantis doesn't often talk foreign policy. When he recently did, it was to partially blame Biden for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He should go back to not talking foreign policy. (via MaddowBlog)
Take Gov. Ron DeSantis, for example.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called out President Biden for his “blank-check policy” on Ukraine after the president traveled to Kyiv for an unannounced visit shortly before the one-year mark of Putin’s assault. DeSantis joined “Fox & Friends” Monday to discuss Biden’s first visit to the war zone since the conflict started a year ago, and why the newly allocated half-billion dollars in Ukrainian aid is unacceptable without clearly defined goals.
In the same interview, the Florida Republican suggested his own country deserves part of the blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — DeSantis apparently thinks the withdrawal of U.S troops from Afghanistan laid the groundwork for Putin’s war, which is a familiar claim that— before dismissing Russia’s potency as “a third-rate military power” that isn’t “on the same level as a China.”
The governor went on to say, “I don’t think it’s in our interests to be getting into a proxy war with China, getting involved over things like the borderlands or over Crimea.”DeSantis’ claims as “incoherent,” adding, “You cannot simultaneously believe that Russia invaded Ukraine because of Afghanistan and then turn around and urge the U.S. [to] withdraw support from Ukraine to stand tough on China.
