Florida Governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis shredded the federal government over during a recent appearance for continuing to throw money at Ukraine without a clear end game in mind.
DeSantis spoke exclusively with Fox & Friends.
“They have, effectively, a blank-check policy with no clear strategic objective identified,” DeSantis said of the Biden administration.
DeSantis also referenced a recent report that shows China is sending non-lethal aid to Russia —but it could eventually turn into military equipment.
“These things can escalate and I don’t think it’s in our interest to be getting into a proxy war with China getting involved over things like the borderlands, or over Crimea,” DeSantis said. “So I think it would behoove them to identify what is the strategic objective that they’re trying to achieve. But just saying it’s an open-ended, blank check, that is not acceptable.”
The Sunshine State gov also slammed Russia’s sunsetting military prowess.
“They’ve shown themselves to be a third-rate military power, I think they’ve suffered tremendous, tremendous losses,” he said. “I’ve got to think the people of Russia are probably disapproving of what’s going on. I don’t think they can speak up about it, for obvious reasons.”
“Russia has been really, really wounded here and I don’t think that they are the same threat to our country – even though they are hostile – I don’t think they’re on the same level as China,” DeSantis said.
