This is a good one to bookmark for future reference. I have asserted confidently that Ron DeSantis is an empty vessel who carries the thoughts and opinions of others as his own. If you follow him closely you will see key moments when this is visible, one of them happened today.
In this CBS interview with Nora O’Donnell (a deep state DOS narrative engineer), notice the framework of the first question that triggers the downstream consequence of nonsense. This is what happens when narrative engineers are working on points that are based entirely around cognitive dissonance.
The first question frames the subject matter:
“If Putin gives the North Koreans advanced nuclear technologies, how would you respond to that threat?”
Now, think about this carefully, using your non-pretending intellectually honest brain.
North Korea is, and has long been, a proxy province of China. No one of any reasonable intellect would disagree with that statement. However, Russia needs to be framed as the current danger to our national interests. The question itself is ridiculous. Russia giving “advanced nuclear technologies?” How about the decades of advanced nuclear technologies that are part of the free flow between Beijing and Pyongyang? China has already given North Korea advanced nuclear technologies.
Arguably, and with mountains of circumstantial evidence to back up the assertion, China is in full control of the North Korean nuclear weapons systems. If there’s one level of military assistance that North Korea doesn’t need, it’s anything around their nuclear weapon systems. Yet, notice how DeSantis just takes the narrative as presented, and then runs with it going even further as the follow-up questions are posed.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
