U.S. Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio on Wednesday accused “rough states” and “dictators” in North Korea, Russia and Iran of sowing “chaos” and “instability,” and China of having “lied, cheated and stolen” its way into a global superpower status at the expense of the United States.

“In Moscow, in Tehran, in Pyongyang, dictators and rogue states now sow chaos and instability, and align with and they fund radical terror groups, and they hide behind their veto power at the U.N. Security Council or the threats of nuclear war,” he said in his opening statement.

“We welcomed the Chinese Communist Party into the global order, and they took advantage of all of its benefits and they ignored all of its obligations and responsibilities,” he said.
“Instead, they have lied, cheated, hacked and stolen their way into global superpower status, and they have done so at our expense and at the expense of the people of their own country.”

“I think there’s been broad acknowledgement across Europe and across multiple administrations, both Republican and Democrat, that our NATO partners … these are rich, advanced economies, need to contribute more to their own defense and ultimately to the NATO partnership as well,” he said.

What about the dictators in the UK and the EU?
This tone will not last long.
And why is that?
What aboutism
Sure we can discuss that and what has gone here in US and chew gum
What you brought up does not change anything about these others behaviors
“And why is that?”
Once Rubio is able to figure out that the more weapons we give to Ukraine, the more territory they lose and the stronger Russia gets (as they continue to ramp up their military production levels). He’ll simply realize that time is not on his side and if he hopes to see Ukraine survive this conflict in any recognizable form, he’ll try to end it soon and he knows that means LISTENING (not just talking) to Putin.
Right on target.
His tone, and Trump’s IA not Neo- Con do- goodish, nor Ron Paul pull our head completely in yhe dand. It is Jacksonian Peace through strenth.
Except him saying that nato is usefull.
that is some incredible hopium
“that is some incredible hopium”
What might you hope for - defeat of Russia, seriously?
Wouldn’t be the first time
