Marco Rubio: Russia is a government of 'liars'
Washington Examiner ^ | March2, 2014 | Susan Crabtree

Posted on 03/02/2014 9:05:53 AM PST by don-o

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Russia cannot be trusted to fulfill its international commitments because their government lies on a regular basis and is “increasingly behaving like an enemy of international peace and international norms.”

Appearing on NBC's “Meet the Press,” Rubio reacted to Russia's Friday invasion of the Crimea region of Ukraine by calling the Russian government “liars” that the U.S. cannot trust.

“Let's call it what it is,” Rubio said. “They are lying – this government is a government of liars, the Russian government. You see what's happening now in Crimea. I mean, they're claiming they're not there. You've got these individuals showing up in unmarked uniforms, wearing masks, but clearly they're Russian troops, even if they refuse to acknowledge it.”

Its not like they said they wouldn’t support any form of immigration reform that didn’t start with securing the border.

Marco,

Remove the plank from your own eye before complaining about the splinters in Russia’s eyes.

Unless and until some politician shouts about the Augean stables in DeeCee and starts action to clean out the commies/moslems/traitors/thugs, they have no business kvetching about Russia.

" calling the Russian government “liars” that the U.S. cannot trust."

Casting stones in a glass house can be dangerous.

Unfortunately we now have a government of liars as well.

As is the European union, with its global warming fraud and penalization of free speech criticizing homosexuals.
