obama said he didn t want to send he said that was terrible. if we had a policy so they could defend themselves, i think putin would make different calculations. i think obama s policy of weakness is making a larger conflict more likely. if you had a reagan-esque policy of strength, i think you would see people like putin not want to mess with you. ron desantis of the house was happy to call himself a reagan republican. now he wants to be more trumpy than reagan-esque. he s trying to portray himself as a trump alternative, and that s making trump very upset, but i think he thinking that s the winning formula for a winning primary in to 24. being trump or being a younger,
