Announced and Possible Republican Candidates Answer -- or Refuse to Answer -- Tucker Carlson's Questionnaire About Support for the Ukraine WarVideo below, then their answers and some commentary.
Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson LOL. Also, Trump isn't completely ruling out support for Ukraine: "That would strongly depend on my meeting with President Putin and Russia. Russia would have never attacked Ukraine if I were President, not even a small chance. Would have never happened if I were President, but it has. I would have to see what the direction in which Russia is headed. I want them to stop, and they will, depending on the one that delivers that message." He's just saying what many candidates say: If I were President, we wouldn't even have this problem to begin with, so my answer to the hypothetical isn't very important. Not saying he's not entitled to say that. I just don't want to hear later that "Trump said he'd never support Ukraine and Meatball Ron was wishy-washy so he's a globalist!" Trump was not definitive on the question himself.
Can't argue with that. Below, DeSantis' answer. I've bolded key words that all the NeverTrumpers and the Democrats and the propaganda media -- but I repeat myself thrice -- are Seizing and Pouncing on. Florida Governor @RonDeSantisFL answers our Ukraine questionnaire: I was wondering how DeSantis would deal with Ukraine. The politics of it are complex: MAGA voters have a very decisive position on Ukraine -- get out of Urkraine -- and the rest of the party is either unconstructed neocons or people who like to think that they're "just moderates" when in fact they're apathetic and indecisive, and view anyone with a decisive position as "extremist." Did he thread the needle? I dunno, I suspect Trump's most zealous supporters will claim he's "being a globalist" or something. All of the NeverTrump grifters seized upon DeSantis' answer to say he's Worse Than Trump. David Frum @davidfrum Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC Adam Kinzinger #fella @AdamKinzinger He was responding there to Ben Shapiro, who noticed: Ben Shapiro @benshapiro Weird how Kinzinger claims he's not making up excuses to endorse Biden -- again. When he just retweeted this from Geraldo: Adam Kinzinger #fella Retweeted Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera Yeah you're totally not Team Biden, "fella." One last little tiny point: By answering this questionnaire that Tucker Carlson submitted to likely Republican candidates for President, not conservatives generally, Meatball Ron kind of admits he's running for president. He could have responded, "given that I have not made any decisions to seek the presidency, this seems premature, and I will speak about it if necessary at a later date," or that kind of answer. Which would have been a dodge, but kind of a permissible dodge. I mean, he's not an announced candidate. (Yet.) But he didn't take that dodge. He answered. And pretty much confirmed what has been reported, that he's made his decision, and that he is running. Mike Pence's answer was pure unreformed neocon horseshit. He even entertains the possibility of regime change in Russia: ormer VP @Mike_Pence answers our Ukraine questionnaire We've been hearing "we have to fight them there or fight them here"/"we need to fight now to avoid an even bigger fight later" jive for decades. This is Hack Conservaspeak. This is the conservaspeak equivalent of a comedian making jokes about airplane peanuts. Vladimir Putin has revealed his true nature, a dictator consumed conquest and willing to spend thousands of lives for his commitment to reestablish the Greater Russian Empire. Anyone who thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine's border is not owning up to the reality of who Putin is. We need to be clear-eyed about the Russian threat: that Georgia, the Crimea, and Ukraine are merely at the top of Putin's lists, they are not the only countries he's aiming for. And by supporting Ukraine, we have told China we will support Taiwan, should they follow Russia in an attempt to invade." Oh Jesus Help Me. For 83 years, every single American opponent has been Literally Hitler. Hitler is all we ever talking about in foreign policy. We must never forget the lessons of Munich, we're constantly told. Forget them? How could we ever forget them? They are literally the only lessons of history that are repeated in every single military/foreign policy question. Are there any other lessons from history about war? Like, say, don't overreach? Don't overextend yourself into an indefensible position? Never get into a landwar in Asia? Or beware of getting on the tiger's back? Nah nah nah, the only lesson from history we all have to remember is that all of our enemies are Literally Hitler, always, and we have to always fight Hitler, because if you don't fight Hitler, you'll have to fight Hitler later, and that's bad. Oh, and every single war must be fought with the goal of unconditional enemy surrender, like we did with Literally-Literally Hitler, and then we must occupy that country for years afterwards to both rebuild its economy, like we did with Literally Germany, and to make sure they adopt American Principles of Government and Justice, as we also did with Literally Germany. Are there any other exemplars from history we should ever follow, or is it just Hitler/Nazi Germany forever? We have fought other wars, guys. Crack a fucking book once in a while.
Total unconditional surrender is our war aim, as it was with Literally-Literally Hitler.
Endless babbling. We have to fight as much as we can possibly fight so that we don't have to fight even more than we're eagerly signing up to fight.
In other words: Yes. Skipping: Nuclear war with Russia? Eh, it's a bluff. Let's roll the dice. ... Well, I mean, I guess we do have to "show that we will not be bullied," that's really really important... I'll refer you to Tucker's thread for the answers from Tim Scott, Chris Christie and Kristi Noem, who are not real candidates. Greg Abbott also responded. I guess maybe he's real longshot candidate.
