DeSantis Snaps at Reporter When Pressed On What He Would Do Differently From Biden in Ukraine

When pressed on the difference between his would-be Ukraine approach and Biden’s current policy, he snapped at Charter:

I ask about Ukraine and he says that “there’s a critique of Biden, and I think I’m sympathetic to it in the sense that, is our policy just do whatever Zelensky wants? Or do we have a concrete idea of what we’re trying to achieve exactly?”

When I ask him how it should be handled differently, he refers to Biden being “weak on the world stage” and failing at deterrence, but as that is not answering how it should be handled now, I ask again. DeSantis does not have anything to add: “Perhaps you should cover some other ground? I think I’ve said enough.”

Trump has cultivated an image that allows for him to do that - he can get away with it for whatever reason. It's a weird charisma he has that helps - something DeSantis does not have. DeSantis comes off as a child who doesn't get his way - while Trump does, as well, but oftentimes a humorous child who doesn't get his way. For whatever reason, it works for Trump. But looks really pathetic when others try to act the same way: see Ted Cruz.

Cruz is never going to be president because he can't deflect in a way that doesn't make him look awful.

IOKIYAR.

Zelensky is pushing for everything: he wants fighter jets, Abrams tanks. Biden/NATO has consistently said no, so our policy is plainly not "just do whatever Zelensky wants".

Any Repuke in the WH is going "fail at deterrence" with Rusher, too. Trump didn't deter shit. If anything, he emboldened Putin, and definitely emboldened Kim.

Governors of States should STFU on foreign policy until they've declared their candidacy.
