Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to urge restraint when it comes to American troop commitments on the behalf of Israel.
Asked on Monday night whether the United States should take an active role in supporting Israeli offensives against their enemies, DeSantis suggested that the U.S. shouldn’t get “enmeshed” in the Middle Eastern war, given the looming threat of China, which DeSantis has consistently said is America’s major strategic competitor at present.
“I think that we have to be careful about getting enmeshed in a war in the Middle East, partially because China is really going to take advantage of this situation and you just find yourself $33 trillion in debt as it is (with) a very weakened defense industrial base,” DeSantis said on Newsmax Monday night.
