Ron DeSantis: Biden Admin’s ‘Blank Check Policy’ on Ukraine Is Unacceptable

BOOTHE: “A lot of Americans are asking, you know, how much more money, how much more time, how much more human suffering?”

DeSantis: “Well, they have, effectively a blank check policy with no clear strategic objective identified. And these things can — can escalate. And I don’t think it’s in our interest to be getting into proxy war with China getting involved over things like the border lands or over Crimea. So I think it would behoove them to identify what is the strategic objective that they’re trying to — to achieve. But just saying it’s an open ended blank check, that is not acceptable.”

DOOCY: “So governor, what does a win look like for us in Ukraine, for Ukraine?”

DeSantis: “Well, I think it’s important to point out, I mean, you know, the fear of kind of Russia going into NATO countries and all that and steamrolling, you know, that has not even come close to happening. I think they’ve shown themselves to be a third rate military power. I think they’ve suffered tremendous, tremendous losses. I got to think that the people in Russia are probably disapproving of what’s going on. I don’t think they can speak up about it for obvious reasons. So I think Russia has been really, really wounded here. And I don’t think that they are the same threat to our country, even though they’re hostile, I don’t think they’re on the same level as a China.”

KILMEADE: “Right.”
