    It's a move by DeSantis so he can run for 2024. The statement is closer to Trump, but I imagine he will have some minor differences. No one is going to get hysterically crazy. The MAGA supporters will be more inclined to have DeSantis run against trump.

    You mean on some former aid who desantis will deny ever worked for the campaign? And why would that happen? Is russia going to help him, with his encouragement?

    Why indeed? Russia collusion was pretty helpful the last time around. Sure it fell apart after a few years but it served it's purpose so why not roll it out again?

    If you say so.

    I guess you had no interest in discussing your own thread topic. No big surprise there.

    Is it beneficial to Putin that US will have a candidate who is already saying helping Ukraine is not priority? Hell yes. Such candidate is like God sent for him.

    No, he's just a fool. Lenin referred to his type as "useful idiots."

    These Republicans have pushed back against DeSantis’s Ukraine

    Your "contribution" to the thread topic was this:


    Your comment is basically the Russian Collusion playbook again. So that's really not the thread topic. There are already ample Russian Collusion threads. If you would like to contribute to the thread topic, that would be great.

    Unless "doing something" starts a nuclear war. That would be a bigger mistake.

    Heh, well that's further making my point. The entire clown car is upset at DeSantis!

    I am contributing and its nice you say its great. Maybe you'll join me in contributing. This is the only thread about DeSantis, and his views which help Putin, and not just a little, but A LOT. Its obvious Putin will help the candidate who helps him. I don't know how much Putin can do to help DeSantis, but at the very least they will launch propaganda campaign in social media to promote DeSantis and tear down his opponent (whoever that might be). If you don't agree, then why not just say so and explain why.

    He dropped 41 points in the polls in some States, and 12 even in his home State (Florida), so its not just them, but voters too, and that was before he made this comment about Ukraine not being a priority.

    The named individuals represent large parts of the Republican party.

    So you’re denying what everyone agreed on? That Russia helped the campaign? Or do you just think that is something that should be ignored?

    I thought I was clear that I disagreed with your entire "Russia Collusion" idea?


    Hmmm OK?

    I thought you were an independent and your version of the GOP was dead?

    I guess I don't know who "everyone" is, but if you've been following the topic at all on this forum I've made clear that it was nonsense then, nonsense now, and the new version going after DeSantis will be nonsense.

    And an even greater godsend to American citizens and American taxpayers. DeSantis just secured my vote. Broker a peace agreement and end the madness. Every day this goes on, China gets stronger. The neocons are creating a super power BRIC coalition right before our eyes.

    Not clear at all, because you didn't even try to answer the 'why'. Can you offer some points on why Russia would NOT try to help the candidate which benefits them the most? Any ideas other than "I don't agree"?

    Trying to get an answer from him is like pulling ducks teeth

    Oh, look, Zelenskyy just shut down more churches in Ukraine. So, who's the megalomanic dictator? My money's on Zelenskyy and Putin.

    In October 1962, would you have told Kennedy to lie down in front of Khrushchev so that he could deliver his missiles to Cuba?

    After all, you don't want to get to a nuclear war.....

    No, nobody here thinks it should be a top priority. And no politicians are treating it like it should be.

    He did lie down by removing missiles in Turkey.
