DeSantis: Protecting Ukraine 'Not A Vital U.S. Interest'

He continues to align himself with the Putin wing of the GOP.

Rhonda Santis broke with many in his own party yesterday and told Tucker Carlson that protecting Ukraine is not a "vital" national interest for the U.S. Just what we need, another tool of Putin in the White House! Via NBC.com:

“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," DeSantis wrote in a questionnaire response Carlson posted on his Twitter feed.

"The Biden administration’s virtual 'blank check' funding of this conflict for 'as long as it takes,' without any defined objectives or accountability, distracts from our country’s most pressing challenges," DeSantis continued.

He argued that "peace should be the objective" for the U.S. and expressed his opposition to sending "F-16s and long-range missiles" to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian President Vladimir Putin's war.
