So, I think it would behoove them to identify what is the strategic objective that they’re trying to achieve, but just saying it’s an open-ended blank check, that is not acceptable.

DeSantis's evolution from Russia hawk to downplaying the significance of Ukraine is a particularly vivid microcosm of the Republican Party.

But even accounting for that, the downgrading of Russia as a threat in DeSantis’s commentary — and in much of the GOP’s — is immense.
