DeSantis never promised to serve his full term, unless you have a more recent example?

When it comes to our country spending elsewhere, please keep in mind that I'm opposed to us sending our money to other countries as well besides Ukraine, including over the years the money we've invested in other allied countries like Israel. I'm fine with helping out a bit and sympathize with what the Ukrainian citizens are going through, but when is enough enough? Is this investment of ours (Ukraine) going to pay out in the long run? I can only hope it does, but I remain skeptical, and at times Zelensky making blunt demands seriously doesn't make it look good for his cause, and I suspect more and more Americans are starting to sour on us helping Ukraine that much while ignoring issues here. Either way you look at it, that conflict is bad news all around, and I don't think there are any clear winners, not yet anyways that I saw.

That was one of the reasons for this post... in my convos with others whether it be online or in daily life who are backing what Putin is doing, I try to understand their point of view on that matter but try as I may I cannot rationally justify their logic that somehow Putin is the good guy in all of that, despite a well documented past of civil rights abuses and being an all around ruthless tyrant. Especially knowing that alot of those very same individuals just a few years back never would have had anything positive to say about Putin. It's got to be identity politics that's spurring so many people to think like that, and being that I don't care for identity politics much is all the more reason why that's so obvious to me. When it comes to conflicts like that, I want the facts and the reality of the situation, and not taking political sides simply because some of one's own preferred politicians or commentators say a certain viewpoint is the correct one. In the year or so since Russia invaded Ukraine, I've been following that fairly close and so far based on evidence that I've analyzed would indicate that Russia is indeed consistently committing war crimes, and while the Ukrainians are also probably guilty of some similar crimes as well they still aren't as bad as what Putin is promoting. I go with what the OSINT sources have to say on the matter and frankly don't care about what our own known left-leaning media sources like CNN etc have to say, yet I've often been accused of following leftwing media sources when it comes to that conflict, which is far from true. So yeah, I'm baffled too as to why so many of those who claim to be small-government conservatives are putting their support behind a tyrant like Putin, and demonizing the Ukrainians at every chance they get? How's about criticizing both sides perhaps, that would be a bit more fair in my opinion, and question the narratives from both sides? As time allows me, found a good article from a conservative source that laid-out reasons why conservatives should never back a guy like Vladimir Putin, and will do a post on that soon. At least there are some conservatives left out there who criticize Putin.

The repeated billions and billions of taxpayer dollars going over there needs to stop, as there's no shortage of our fellow Americans who could use that money.
