A likely US presidential candidate was forced to make excuses for words about a “territorial dispute” in Ukraine
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has decided to radically change his position in relation to the conflict in Ukraine after a flurry of criticism fell upon him for his words about the "territorial dispute", writes The Guardian.
The authors of the material recall that last week, during a conversation with TV presenter Tucker Carlson on Fox News, the politician described the current Ukrainian-Russian conflict as a "territorial dispute" between the two countries. At the same time, this statement caused a flurry of indignation within the American establishment.
According to The Guardian, the current governor of Florida may become a candidate in the upcoming US presidential election. Although he has not yet announced his candidacy, he is the only one in the Republican Party whose popularity among Americans is comparable to that of former President Donald Trump.
Ultimately, the article says that DeSantis was forced to make excuses for his words, which is why, in a recent interview with Fox Nation, the Florida governor said that his previous statement was "misunderstood."
- quotes the publication of the word politician.
Moreover, the material says that in the same interview, DeSantis called Russian leader Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” and supported the ICC decision. This is taking into account the fact that the United States does not recognize the legitimacy of the ICC itself.
- added DeSantis, explaining himself for the words about the "territorial dispute".
It is worth adding that from all of the above, only one conclusion suggests itself: no matter who comes to power in the elections in 2024, Russia should not count on normalizing relations with the United States. All candidates reflect the opinion, solve the goals and objectives, in fact, of one US party, which is only outwardly divided into Republicans and Democrats. A sort of worst version of a one-party system, where the general line of the party must be strictly observed, and in such a way that even the expression of personal opinion is prohibited. A typical example of neo-totalitarianism.
