https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...inal-rcna76260WASHINGTON — After having downplayed Russia’s war against Ukraine as a “territorial dispute” in remarks to Fox News, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis changed course in a new interview by calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” who needs to face consequences for his actions.
“I think he is a war criminal,” DeSantis told Piers Morgan in an interview published Wednesday in the New York Post, adding: “I do think that he should be held accountable.”
DeSantis argued that his earlier statement to Fox News host Tucker Carlson had been “mischaracterized” and that his “larger point” was that he doesn’t think Russia can “take over Ukraine” or “threaten NATO” even if the U.S. doesn’t escalate its involvement. He said he wasn’t suggesting Russia’s invasion was justified.
“I think they have the right to that territory,” DeSantis said of Ukraine. “If I could snap my fingers, I’d give it back to Ukraine 100%."

This guy is an establishment guy..
Politics aside, Even race aside, Jews make up 5% of the voting demographic in Florida, Yet one of his main concerns is making it a Jail sentence to say anything negative about the Jews?
I have absolutely nothing against the Jews, I don’t care if your Green, Orange, Purple..
But why is it that it’s only the Jews protected with him? Why is it only the Jews who have a special term for racism? “Anti Semitic”.
Why is he not proposing jail time for ignorant language towards blacks?

How did the "hawks make him take a u-turn?" Looks like he was rightly clarifying what he meant by "territorial dispute". I think he was right for clarifying what he mean. He didn't revise anything else from this statement (which was conveniently left out of the OP)
DeSantis said in a statement to Carlson published March 13: “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.*Sit there and don't know what to do when people sing happy birthday to me crew*

The CIA operates from Switzerland, it's not actually American.
CIA = Holy C = Holy See. It funds the Vatican/Greenland through clandestine operations (child & women trafficking, guns, drugs, money laundering, name it)
The Holy C works FOR the Jewish bankers. The Rothschilds are fall guys since you know their name. The Wallenberg and Oppenheimer families are way more powerful and exponentially more wealthy. The 322 Skull and Bonesmen mainly controlled by the Stanley family from Morgan Stanley have their share of power.
The actual Controllers live in Greenland and no one knows their names, if they even have one (Let's call them The Greys and the Elected).
Greenland, the largest island in the world, already has extremely advanced cities that use Tartarian free energy tech along with teleportation and healing centers. It's most fisherman's homes on there, that's a lie.

Where did he walk back the Tucker interview? He mischaracterized an invasion as a territorial dispute and then corrected himself and clarified that it is a war and that Putin is a war criminal (he is).
Calling someone a war criminal who should be held responsible doesn't mean that you're pro-getting involved in a war directly.
Trump literally called the Ukraine war a genocide a day after Biden called it a genocide. That's far more hawkish than anything Ron has said.*Sit there and don't know what to do when people sing happy birthday to me crew*

Did you read the post interview?
GOP leaders slam DeSantis for calling war a territorial dispute: https://nypost.com/2023/03/19/gop-sl...orial-dispute/
Desantis interview afterward:
When I asked him specifically if he regretted using the phrase “territorial dispute,” DeSantis replied, “Well, I think it’s been mischaracterized. Obviously, Russia invaded (last year) — that was wrong. They invaded Crimea and took that in 2014 — That was wrong.
“What I’m referring to is where the fighting is going on now which is that eastern border region Donbas, and then Crimea, and you have a situation where Russia has had that. I don’t think legitimately but they had. There’s a lot of ethnic Russians there. So, that’s some difficult fighting and that’s what I was referring to and so it wasn’t that I thought Russia had a right to that, and so if I should have made that more clear, I could have done it, but I think the larger point is, okay, Russia is not showing the ability to take over Ukraine, to topple the government or certainly to threaten NATO. That’s a good thing. I just don’t think that’s a sufficient interest for us to escalate more involvement. I would not want to see American troops involved there. But the idea that I think somehow Russia was justified (in invading) – that’s nonsense.”
I told him that when I was in Ukraine interviewing President Zelensky last summer, I was struck by the ferocious resolve of the people there not to give Putin an inch of their land, and to take Crimea back.
“I think they would take issue with it being characterized as a territorial dispute,” I said.
“I think they have the right to that territory,” he replied. “If I could snap my fingers, I’d give it back to Ukraine 100%. But the reality is what is America’s involvement in terms of escalating with more weapons, and certainly ground troops I think would be a mistake. So, that was the point I was trying to make but Russia was wrong to invade. They were wrong to take Crimea.
“Russia did not have the right to go into Crimea or to go in February of 2022 and that should be clear.”
Great reply and clarification by Desantis.*Sit there and don't know what to do when people sing happy birthday to me crew*

He said he doesn't think the US should be escalating by supplying weapons either.
As far as monetary support, the jury is still out on that. I don't think Trump ever put out an official stance on that one either.
Everything else is just hysterics. You can't say that the hawks made him take a u-turn on this, because he 100% did not.
In fact, some of the biggest hawks (Like phagguete Graham) have enthusiastically endorsed Trump.*Sit there and don't know what to do when people sing happy birthday to me crew*

Can you believe there are people who still believe Russia is in a bad position with the Ukraine conflict?
The world's largest economic superpower just fortified diplomatic ties with Russia, they aren't going to break anytime soon.
That's why the US needs to pack up and go home, this isn't the hill to die on.Modern liberalism is morally bankrupt and demonic.

Before his Tucker statement DeSantis called Russia a "gas station masquerading as a country," something that dirtbag Mccain said. Imagine being so elitist that you refer to 148 million people as a gas station. The Soviets lost eight million soldiers fighting the nazis so maybe we could have a little more respect for the country even if we don't like the leadership.
