I don't know (genuinely). I am uninformed on the history because I really don't care.
But I trust the Russian elections even less than I trust American elections, so voting totals aren't going to sway my opinion.
What's clear to me is Putin made an aggressive move against a country who's leader didn't want it
That leader wasn’t the will of the people and you do know that because at the start of the invasion you posted a lot about it but you’re going to play dumb now because you realize you changed your position because TRUMP.
You must support desantis now because of your illness. Regardless of how many of your widely held principles he will break.

I will admit that some of RDS' rhetoric in this Piers interview is troubling and seems needlessly escalatory
Later in the interview, DeSantis — agreed with Morgan’s assertion that the Russian president is “now an evil, genocidal monster” following the deadly invasion of Ukraine.
“I do, well sure, who wouldn’t?” DeSantis said when asked if he agreed.
“What’s happening is horrible. When you see rockets going into apartment buildings, and there are plenty of people in those buildings, you know, they think they’re, like the people moved out, they didn’t move, they wanted to stay because they think they’re safe in their apartments.”

Honestly - I've asked you a few times tonight to post my previous positions that I have flipped on.
I have said in the past that Putin is a bad guy, but understand why he has made some of the decisions he has made.
I would be shocked if i ever said his invasion of another country was a good thing... but if you have the receipts... please share and I'll address

Unfortunately...
that was a Trump interview from last April.
Also in that interview
Asked by Morgan what he would tell Putin if he was still commander in chief, Trump replied: “I would say, we have far more than you do. Far, far more powerful than you. And you can’t use that word ever again. You cannot use the nuclear word ever again. And if you do, we’re gonna have problems.”
Trump also said he warned Putin in “very strong language” not to invade Ukraine — and threatened a US response if Russia did.
“I told him what our response was going to be. And his response was ‘Really?’. I said, ‘Really,'” Trump recalled.

I didn’t look at anything you wrote under your admission if desantis rhetoric. Hysterical you try these childish gotcha games.
Trumps record on foreign policy is unmatched.
You’re supporting some whose stances are in line with the liberal world order and you are still fighting it.

This is the problem thethe... and im seeing it all over twitter from the trump team.
it is impossible to have a reasonable debate, because you do not apply the critical standards to Trump.
You criticized RDS of being influence by Ryan, but said its OK trump was bc he didn't know
You criticized RDS of working with Rove, but said it was OK that trump did because of his success in office
You criticize RDS for inflammatory remarks of Putin... but it's OK for Trump to call him a genocidal monster who better not invade Ukraine because Trump had the best foreign policy
it is impossible to take you seriously. you have to have some level of standards or you're just supporting a personality. and that's clearly what is happening
"I can't fix my life, but I can fix the world" said the socialist
You create this whole circular logic because you know Desantis completely backtracked on his first disingenuous comments ion Ukraine (which I called out in real time).
Guy lacks authenticity at all. That’s why he needed to read a trump sign to his kid in an ad to get his career off the ground.
He will continue to sink in the polls because that inauthenticmess will be identified immediately by the American people.

What have learned tonight boys and girls?
It turns out, thethe is extremely pro war... He is supportive of a nuclear power invading a small country... and he is very critical of anybody who doesn't support that.
It turns out, Trump's position on Ukraine was quite hawkish... even threatening a US response? That's dangerous, and escalatory
And while, RDS is a pro war monger MIC cuck for saying Putin is a war criminal... Trump took it much further, calling him an evil, genocidal monster...
RDS just can't outwar Trump with these statements. And Trump even threatened the use of nukes! Gonna be tough to match that, but let's see if he can
The summary is... thethe and trump are the party of peace... except Thethe strongly supports Russia's invasions, and Trump believes them to be genocidal. But then again, Trump did increase our military spending by 25%, and did threaten to do a lot of damage to Putin if he invades ukraine......
Disconnect between the two, I hope they can work it out soon!
