And Senator Mike Rounds (R–SD) shared Graham’s sentiment, saying, “Any one of the individuals who has an interest in working as the next president of the United States really needs to get a full briefing before they decide to make up their minds on this particular issue.”
In politician-speak, that’s about as close to “STFU and stay in your lane” as it gets.

Perhaps Russia has a pee-pee tape of DeSantis too.

Not impossible, but it seems he’s been deliberately adopting Trump tactics. I’m guessing he’s toadying up to Putin in the hopes that Russia devotes cyber assets to encouraging a Desantis presidency. Treason is a viable republican election strategy.

The Florida Stand Your Ground law doesn’t contain the word “dispute” so by using this word in his statement I’m wagering that he is implying that Ukraine has a Duty To Retreat. /s

I was looking for a new nickname for him as a result of this revelation. “Piss Boy” (or maybe “Asst Piss Boy”) will do nicely.
From what I understand, when you’re promoted from Asst Piss Boy to Piss Boy, you’re allowed to collect the urine in a receptacle of some sort, instead of using your hands or mouth.
Unless “Assistant Urinalysis Coordinator” is just a euphemism for making piss porn during his off hours?

So when he said he was a number one analyst in the Navy, he was technically being honest.

Ukraine is a territory that Russia wants. So in that sense, I guess it IS a territorial dispute. Because make no mistake it is not the border with Ukraine that Putin dislikes. It is the existence of Ukraine that he dislikes.

Ah, so this is what happens when Trumpian Putinophilia bumps up against Reaganite cold-warriors.

I believe you mean cold-disputers.
Though arguably Reagan’s worst domestic policy decision was the massive expansion of the Dispute on Drugs.

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact didn’t even fail in its first year! Given how his attempt to seize Kyiv went, that’s a level of success Putin can’t ignore.

He took a lot of heat for his wasteful spending on the “Star Dispute” missile defense program as well.
