- DeSantis is turning his back on the principles America helped build into the UN after the second world war.
- DeSantis is inviting Putin to expand his aggression beyond Ukraine and undermining his own priority of standing up to China.
- Abandoning Ukraine will cause Asian countries to question America's reliability and potentially fall in behind China.
- DeSantis could be disingenuous, leaving himself enough room to shift position and stand by Ukraine if he wins the White House in 2024.
