Marco Rubio just. SHUT DOWN attacks on Trump for negotiating with Russia and China:

“People need to grow up when it comes to foreign policy a little bit.”

“I think the world is a safer place when the leaders of the most powerful nuclear arsenals in the world are at least communicating with one another.”

Diplomacy between nuclear superpowers isn’t a weakness. It’s a necessity. x.com/StateDept/stat…

In before a Zeeper shows up to talk about Rubio being a ‘traitor to Ukraine’ or a ‘Puppet of Xi and Putin’.

In 1985 Reagan sat down with Gorbachev and nobody called it treason. Talking to the guy with the other nukes isn't weakness. It's the reason we're all still here to argue on the internet.

They won’t be shut down no matter who says what. They are not redeemable.

Histrionic Russian bogeyman chasers on FR won’t like this. Rubio is still a Neocon but in this case I agree with him.

Perhaps France will make it clear that people who are thinking with their paychecks, are not thinking very far ahead. In the end, we all live someplace and people with children should want to leave it livable, for them.

This administration may be the only one in my lifetime who gets it.

I mostly agree but shouldn’t Russia be punished for aiding and abetting Iran?

Russia is not our friend. Trump knows that -- and anyone with a modicum of sense knows that.

But neither is Ukraine, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, or Mexico. Let's be real here.

I remember the glee democrats showed when they thought Gorby got one over on Reagan. They loved the Soviet Union. I think it was Rush who coined the term “Gorbasm” to express the wet pants democrats got. Even Gorbachev knew his evil commie regime was doomed. Democrats haven’t figured it out yet.

I remember when Reagan and Gorbachev met in Iceland.

Ronald Reagan said in front of the cameras, “If there ever was an alien threat to Earth, I believe America and the Soviet Union would join forces to stop them.” Or words to that effect.

“Gorbachev said, “I, too, believe that America and the Soviet Union would join forces to stop such a threat. But I don’t believe such a threat is imminent.” Again, words to that effect.

its true and needed to be said.
even if the proposed meeting produces nothing new,
then at least we won’t start shooting nukes at each other.
I agree with leaving Z-ski out of this at this level.
euro-weenies too

I call them “Ukraine First” because that is all they seem to care about.

This is not an apologetic. The grievance train can go back as far as anyone wants to take it. I mean part of Russia's excuse for invading Ukraine was that it was falling into NATO's sphere; putting a threat right on Russia's door step, so why shouldn't Russia help Iran, if it's in their best interests?

See my point?
