Gov. Ron DeSantis considers Israel to be the root of Western civilization, and says that without Judaism and Christianity, our nation wouldn’t exist.
“You could trace back the history of Western civilization all the way back to the ancient state of Israel and the birth of both Judaism and Christianity, and we wouldn’t have the United States of America if it didn’t trace back to that,” the Governor told interviewer Mark Levin on Tuesday.
DeSantis’ theory came after a three-minute rumination on how Israel is “the only country that we have shared values with” in the Middle East, and “the only place in that region that we have common cause with.”
The Governor condemned Iran, but also suggested the other countries in the region (many of them opposed to Tehran) might have leaders who were friendly to Washington, but had people who were just as fanatical as Iran.
“Most of the other places in the Arab world, I think, are maybe moderately leaning west, a lot of them are because they recognize President (Donald) Trump’s strength,” DeSantis said. “But underneath all that, you know, most of the population in those countries, they want Sharia law.”
The Governor was skeptical of negotiations with Iran by Trump, saying that “trying to cut a deal with Iran” is “hazardous.”
“I don’t see them as being good faith actors and in any way, shape or form,” DeSantis said. “And the reality is they cannot be allowed to enrich uranium, period. End of story. They are a militant Islamic government. Their view of mutual destruction with nuclear weapons is actually something they think would be fine because they think they’re all going to go to heaven in paradise if that happens.”
DeSantis added that Iran, unlike the Soviet Union, is “not a traditional country” and could not be “deterred in a traditional way.”
Whereas the atheistic Soviets found dying in a nuclear holocaust “not very appealing,” Iran’s religious “mullahs” believe that a nuclear exchange with Israel is “doing the will of Allah.”

Shallow Ron Dee — as always.
What has been occurring in Gaza since Oct. 2023 may well be the culmination of 100 years of Zionism: Clear title to a homeland via conquest and expulsion and/or wholesale subjugation of Palestinians. The midwives to this project are the US and Britain.
shame on Rona

Are we sure it is OK to make fun of DeSantis?
I know he went to Yale or something, but … dude.

Quote from grandkid’s Western Civ textbook..
“Source of Western Civilization is considered to be that civilization which grew up in western Europe after the end of the Roman Empire.Its roots lay in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome”

An incredibly wise cutting edge statement is outlined by gov Run DeSanctis about the regime’s cancerous terrorism natured barbaric cult idenity that occupied our beautiful Iran nation; only solution has to be applied towards a maximum pressure deterrance campaign upon Israel’s joint hit-crush strike operation that decapitates regime while bolstering a maximum support of Iranian people’s intelligent brave free minded movements inspired by national revolution to calibrate strong waves of toppling the regime and freeing Iran nation state while proudy opening a path under the legitimate excellent democratic leaership of His Royal Highness Reza Shah Pahlavi leadership towards restoring foundatons of freedom intellectualism democratized secular decency and constitutional civilizd liberty bright assembly as Iranians share values with Israel and America

You mean Greece and Rome. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves after hearing this blasphemy. Shame on you. This is so offensive and gross. What a way to dishonor all the Americans who have given their lives to make what this country is today.
