Ron DeSantis forced into U-turn after calling Ukraine war ‘territorial dispute’

Likely Republican contender for White House says remark was ‘mischaracterised’ but calls Vladimir Putin a war criminal

Ron DeSantis has reversed his position on Ukraine, after facing widespread criticism for calling the Russian invasion a “territorial dispute”.

Speaking to Fox Nation in an interview to be broadcast in full on Thursday, the Florida governor and probable contender for the Republican presidential nomination said his “territorial dispute” remark had been “mischaracterised”.

“Obviously, Russia invaded – that was wrong,” he said. “They invaded Crimea and took that in 2014 – that was wrong.”

DeSantis also called Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, a “war criminal”.

Good that there is a bi-partisan consensus on the dangers of TikTok. All Chinese companies must be assumed to be an extension of the Chinese state, unless proved otherwise.

TikTok’s chief executive, Shou Zi Chew, tried to fend of a barrage of congressional criticism on Thursday, but after several hours of often sharp exchanges, many lawmakers still seemed to harbor serious national security concerns about the Chinese-owned tech platform and the threat they said it poses to 150 million Americans using the app.


“TikTok surveils us all and the Chinese Communist Party is able to use this as a tool to manipulate America as a whole,” House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), said during opening statements at the Thursday hearing with Chew. “We do not trust TikTok will ever embrace American values. Your platform should be banned.”

TikTok CEO faces congressional grilling over national security concerns

It's the first time Shou Zi Chew has testified for Congress, and the stakes are high.

I’ve watched a few videos of her being questioned in the senate. Rarely seen anyone come across as more incompetent. Yet her qualifications for the job are impeccable.

You know it's going to be good when her first question in the video is "On the spending side"?
:laugh:

4 trillion in new taxes?

I'd say the true danger of TikTok isn't so much the Chinese spying angle, but rather the cultural damage done by the platform.
It really is a case of the lowest common denominator being amplified.
