On February 20, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly criticized<\/a> the Biden regime\u2019s \u201cblank-check policy\u201d of supply weapons and economic aid to Ukraine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis\u2019 remarks came in the wake of Biden\u2019s surprise visit to Kiev that same day. The Florida governor threw cold water on the idea that Russia poses a major military threat to Europe. He also described Russia\u2019s military as \u201cthird-rate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fear of Russia going into NATO countries and all that and steamrolling, you know, that has not even come close to happening,\u201d DeSantis declared on Fox News\u2019 \u201cFox & Friends.\u201d DeSantis added, \u201cI think they\u2019ve shown themselves to be a third-rate military power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis sharply criticized Biden for his visit to Ukraine instead of focusing on more pressing matters such as the Southern border with Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very concerned about those borders halfway around the world. He\u2019s not done anything to secure our own border here at home,\u201d DeSantis proclaimed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having provided billions of dollars in military and economic aid, the Biden regime is finally beginning to get detractors on the Right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden regime has \u201cno clear strategic objective identified\u201d as it supplies ungodly amounts of aid to Ukraine, DeSantis asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I don\u2019t think it\u2019s in our interest to be getting into a proxy war with China, getting involved over things like the borderlands or over Crimea,\u201d he added. DeSantis conceded that Russia is \u201chostile,\u201d but China constitutes the bigger threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis\u2019 views are gaining more prominence in Republican circles. Many are recognizing that China constitutes a larger threat than Russia, so they\u2019ll want national security resources diverted to that region of the world. A more cynical view of DeSantis\u2019 outlook is that due to his pro-Zionist leanings<\/a> he will likely deescalate tensions with Russia and shift America\u2019s geopolitical attention elsewhere \u2014 specifically Iran.\u00a0 Under a hypothetical DeSantis presidency, one could see the US potentially taking punitive action against Iran \u2014 a non-nuclear power that can\u2019t project power the way Russia and China can \u2014 and likely dial up the pressure on China.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While DeSantis\u2019s views are much more reasonable than those of the political mainstream, the Ron Paulian non-interventionist vision is the more preferable foreign policy course.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
