I agree that Graham is a war hawk, but I don’t put Rubio and Kellogg in the same category. They are firm regarding our adversaries but not eager to go to war.

Kellogg is clueless about the Ukraine War - he still thinks it’s a simple land grab by ‘Putin’ and if you simply let ‘Putin’ keep the land he occupies (for the time being), he’ll be happy and won’t mind Ukraine becoming part of NATO and having missiles in close range to Moscow, not to mention not be bothered by the future plans of NATO to try to get Ukraine back to its original borders. Maybe Kellogg is a bit better educated now, but he was absolutely CLUELESS for months...Trump doesn’t need his people going through learning curves to reach reality.

As far as Rubio goes, go back to the postings here when Trump first nominated him...it was just me saying he was a Neocon, and I don’t remember anyone claiming otherwise. So the real question for Rubio is where a Neocon can flip on a dime and become a realist as it’s either that, or he’s simply doing a good job under Trump (possibly due to having higher aspirations?). So I’ll stick with my Neocon label for Rubio, as I don’t believe it’s possible for them to do a 180, overnight, so I’ll need another 5 years or so to agree that he’s no longer a Neocon.
