Official mission statement and the platform foundation he's campaigning on can be found here at the link I gave Fos. There's no video. You can read it.I think you have to watch ALL of the videos of him saying anything and sift out the relevant bits
And if you don't like watching videos, well-l-l-l ... get off the streets!
You asked what his official position was on this subject. Here it is. I can see the response coming now though. Whenever I post something, you inquire about DeSantis's positions the unusual predictable canned dismissal of everything that DeSantis says or does is: But...but. "This is slipstreaming"Then I would think he would say so, yes?
Edit: He's a declared, national candidate now. What is his position on restoring, critical manufacturing (like needed drugs and PPP)
That was really more of a list of campaign promises. To me, a platform tells me how they plan to make them come true.Official mission statement and the platform foundation he's campaigning on can be found here at the link I gave Fos. There's no video. You can read it.

Wrong! [insert Trump gif there]. I asked why DeSantis won't lay out policy specifics of what he would do with the big chair. That's quite a bit different, especially with respect to specificity, than 'taking a firm stance'Know exactly what you mean. Trump claimed his stance was pro 2A. I was shocked that a politician would go back on his word, after hearing him say, “take the guns first and then due process.”
But anyway, you asked what DeSantis’s stances were on a few issues. So then you got stances provided. Mind being a little more consistent in what you’re asking for? Thanks in advance.
D'accordYou and I share an abhorrence of video watching. That is for how to stuff mostly.
I know it's likely you and your fellow travelers will just see what comes next as alibiing or Trump worship, but do you ever even think ... beyond trying to show DeSantis knows how to talk tough? Are there logical alternate explanations?Now back to the subject of Russia/Ukraine and some more of what DeSantis has said and what Trump has said..
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) calls Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal"
Morgan asked DeSantis if Putin should be held responsible for war crimes and genocidal activity in Ukraine.
"I think he is a war criminal ... I do think that he should be held accountable," DeSantis replied.
The potential 2024 presidential contender's comments are in stark contrast to statements made by former President Trump, who last year called Putin "genius" and "very savvy" for recognizing two breakaway "republics" in eastern Ukraine as independent.
Putin used that " genius savvy" tactic as a pretense to cross the border only as a "peacekeeper" in eastern Ukraine when in reality he had a broader ambition and that was a way of getting his military foot in the door.
Putin also said prior to that Russian troops were only amassing at the border as a military exercise which was a lie. When in reality they were preparing to cross the border after Putin's "genius savvy" plan went into effect.
I think Trump's comments were designed to slather more butter on Putin than anything else.
Uhhh, the only thing I can see, at the link provided and which doesn't want me to sign up for something, is the subsection entitled 'Meet Ron DeSantis' and which consists entirely of his claimed accomplishments as governor of Florida and then some pablum about how he will be bringing similar wonderfulness to the presidencyOfficial mission statement and the platform foundation he's campaigning on can be found here at the link I gave Fos.

Maybe so. DeSantis was just answering the question though that he was asked which many others believe he is and Putin should be held accountable.I know it's likely you and your fellow travelers will just see what comes next as alibiing or Trump worship, but do you ever even think ... beyond trying to show DeSantis knows how to talk tough? Are there logical alternate explanations?
Is it possible that Trump has a better grasp of Realpolitik? Is it possible that Trump realizes that to end the war in Ukraine will require negotiating with Putin, and that just maybe saying he is a war criminal that needs to be dragged to the dock in The Hague will make those negotiations MUCH more difficult? Is it possible that Trump knows that The Three is just a shot away (nod to The Stones), Russia is a nuclear peer and some de-escalation might be in order?
As far as whether Trump only wants tough sounding sound bites, Gen. Qasem Soleimani could not be reached for comment
Ok Bug. WTH are you talking about? That wasn't what was posted in the link that I sent you. What you're talking about was in the subsection of that link. This was in the link that I posted. I even double checked it. Here I'll provide it here for you and everyone else to see so we can stop this nonsense. It's rather lengthy but you like reading.Uhhh, the only thing I can see, at the link provided and which doesn't want me to sign up for something, is the subsection entitled 'Meet Ron DeSantis' and which consists entirely of his claimed accomplishments as governor of Florida and then some pablum about how he will be bringing similar wonderfulness to the presidency
I see nothing remotely interpretable as a platform for a presidential run
Well, he could have said Putin is also a head of state, and a nuclear one at that, and although what he has done is reprehensible, talk of war crimes trials is just talk unless we want to pursue regime change. He could also mention regime change seldom works out but the first sentence is probably at or beyond the attention span of Piers Morgan"Morgan asked DeSantis if Putin should be held responsible for war crimes and genocidal activity in Ukraine?'
Should he have just said "No Comment" and silently launched a drone attack on Putin instead?
Did he get results?Was Trump giving Putin a complimentary butter massage a better grasp of "Realpoliitik" too? He likes to give those out. He gave a doozy to Kim Jung un when they had their love affair. It looks like he's trying to re-kindle that affair with lil" Kim now btw.
DeSantis goes on the offense and slams Trump for congratulating the "murderous dictator" Kim Jung Un (his chum that he had a love affair with btw) after North Korea recently got a seat on the executive board of the WHO.
DeSantis slams Trump for congratulating Kim Jong Un for new WHO seat
Ron DeSantis is the latest 2024 candidate to slam Donald Trump for his warm words congratulating dictator Kim Jong Un for North Korea getting a seat on the WHO executive board.www.dailymail.co.uk
Trump praised Kim in a Truth Social post Friday for North Korea being awarded an appointment to the executive board of the World Health Organization. He linked in the post to an American Greatness story that was critical of the position being granted to WHO, but ignored the premise of the article to praise Kim, whom he has called a friend.
I'm sure we all remember this too. I think some would like to forget it though.
Trump’s praise of Kim has prompted controversy before.
In 2018, at a rally in Virginia, the former president spoke about how he and Kim “fell in love” as they got to know each other as world leaders – and how Kim had written him “beautiful” and “great letters.”
Is it also possible that treating other humans in power respectfully or even friendly is what kept NK from doing stupid **** during Trump’s term works, but what is happening now inflames it? Do you guys really believe that rapport building and dealing with assholes only happens at your work? Do you also think all those Camp David meetings with enemies over the years were all about letting them know how bad they were? Or maybe rapport building and some worthless praise might just win over the peace?Is it possible that Trump has a better grasp of Realpolitik? Is it possible that Trump realizes that to end the war in Ukraine will require negotiating with Putin, and that just maybe saying he is a war criminal that needs to be dragged to the dock in The Hague will make those negotiations MUCH more difficult? Is it possible that Trump knows that The Three is just a shot away (nod to The Stones), Russia is a nuclear peer and some de-escalation might be in order?
You're right, I didn't read that beyond what seemed it was going to be an introduction to Ron Desantis. I went in search of a subsection specifically devoted to policy. My BadOk Bug.

Announcement
I am running for President of the United States because I want to lead Our Great American Comeback.
Our country is going in the wrong direction. We see it with our eyes and we feel it in our bones.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
- Our southern border has collapsed and drugs are pouring into our country, killing tens of thousands of our fellow Americans
- Our cities are being hollowed out by spiking crime -- the result of weak, ideologically-driven policies
- Our federal government is making it harder for the average family to make ends meet and to attain and maintain a middle class lifestyle
- Our president lacks vigor, flounders in the face of our nation's challenges, and takes his cues from the woke mob
American decline is not inevitable -- it is a choice. We should choose a new direction -- a path that will lead to American revitalization.
We must restore sanity to our nation.
We must return normalcy to our communities.
- This means embracing Fiscal and economic sanity ... stop pricing hard-working Americans out of a good standard of living through inflationary borrow, print and spend policies. And embrace American energy independence.
- This also means Replacing the woke mind virus with reality, facts, and enduring principles. Merit must trump identity politics.
We must reestablish integrity in our institutions.
- America is a sovereign country and our borders must be respected: we cannot have foreigners pouring into our country illegally by the millions, and we cannot allow drug cartels to poison our population with fentanyl.
- The public deserves safe communities and law and order must be maintained. We cannot permit the inmates to run the asylum -- and we must reject attacks on the men and women of law enforcement.
Truth must be our foundation -- and common sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue.
- This includes our military. US Navy and Iraq veteran. When revered institutions like our own military are more concerned with matters not central to the mission -- from global warming to gender ideology and pronouns, morale declines and recruiting suffers. We need to eliminate these distractions and get focused on the core mission.
- We cannot have true constitutional government if the most significant issues are decided by the whims of unelected bureaucrats, rather than the people's elected representatives. Reestablishing integrity to our institutions means we must reinvigorate our constitutional system by returning the government to its rightful owners: we the people. No social or economic transformation without representation.
In Florida, we proved that it could be done.
We chose facts over fear.
We chose Education over indoctrination.
We chose Law and order over rioting and disorder.
We held the line when freedom hung in the balance.
Florida is now thriving as a result -- the fastest growing state, #1 in net in-migration, #1 in new business formations, #1 in education, 50 year low crime rate, and one of the lowest tax and debt per capita rates in America.
Governing is not entertainment. Its not about building a brand or virtue signaling on social media. It is about results. Our results in Florida have been second to none.
We can and we must deliver big results for America.
I pledge to be an energetic executive that will take on the important issues head on:
You can't do any of this if you don't win.
- Biden has pursued inflationary policies that are hurting working people; we will reverse those policies and build an economy where working Americans can achieve a good standard of living.
- Biden has opened the southern border and allowed massive amounts of drugs to pour into the country; we will shut down the border, construct a border wall, and hold the drug cartels accountable.
- Biden has embraced medical authoritarianism, such as unconstitutional covid vax mandates; we will ensure that those violations of liberty can never happen again.
- Biden has allowed woke ideology to drive his agenda. We will never surrender to the woke mob and we will leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history.
- Biden has politicized the military and caused recruiting to plummet. We will eliminate ideological agendas from the military, focus on the military's core mission, and reverse the poor recruiting trends.
- Biden has weaponized the power of the administrative state to advance his left-wing agenda. We will re-constitutionalize the executive branch and bring the administrative state to heel.
There is no substitute for victory -- we must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican party in recent years.
The tired dogmas of the past are inadequate for a vibrant future -- we must look forward, not backwards
The courage to lead. The strength to win.
To voters participating in this primary process I can promise this: If you nominate me, you can set your clock to January 20, 2025 at high noon because on the west side of the US Capitol I will be taking the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States.
No excuses. I will get it done.
The past few years have given me a new appreciation for the fragility of our freedoms. Founding Fathers were keenly aware of this, studied every republic in history of mankind...
We have a lot of work to do to ensure our country gets back on track. I ask you to join me on this mission.
