Last week Tucker Carlson asked the prominent names announced or anticipated to run for the 2024 Republican nomination to provide their policy toward Ukraine. Many of the candidates responded, a few did not. Nikki Haley, Chris Sununu, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and Asa Hutchinson did not respond at all. President Trump and Governor Kristi Noem were the only responses that answered each question specifically. The remaining candidates ignored some, gave obtuse poll-tested responses to other points or just ignored the central element of the questions they were uncomfortable with. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/03/13/republican-candidates-respond-to-tucker-carlson-inquiry-about-ukraine-policy/(Of these Abbott gets a pass because he is focused on Texas and seems little interested in POTUS run, Pence can FOAD, Christie can FOAD, Scott makes no sense so he can KMA and DeSantis made a nice statement layered with nuance and sound bites but answered no questions...he will be pinned down one way or another as this goes on, even if all he does is stick to talking points and looks like a robot)
Trump is consistent in his positions, he properly sees Ukraine as a European problem...something globalist totalitarians find anethema to their agenda and survival. Noem sounds even more strident...but she had one slip up when asked about regime change in Russia...she should have said a flat "no" and ditch the phrase "not at this time"...the latter indicates a willingness to consider later if the DeepState provides the adequate motivation...she may not have meant the implications of that answer but someone should tell her.
So far looks like one out front adult, one near-adult and a robot...with a long train of useless behind them...
Now I will watch Carlson's take -

Also, missed Ramaswamy...he did give a good answer on Ukraine...
