War with Russia, Senator Rubio?
American Thinker ^ | Jan 14 2017 | J Robert Smith

Posted on 01/14/2017 7:03:07 PM PST by WilliamIII

Marco Rubio's back in the Senate. He evidently likes swaggering talk. On Wednesday, he grabbed headlines. As of this writing, Rubio's not sure if he'll vote for Rex Tillerson to be Secretary of State. Or maybe he's bluffing...to get headlines.

Rubio wants Tillerson to brand Vladimir Putin a war criminal. Tillerson, a smart and sophisticated man, won't take the bait.

Putin is a killer, a murderer, and not our friend. That doesn't mean we need to get into a shooting war with him.

Thanks to Obama and his jester, Kerry, the Russians waltzed right into Syria over a weekend and ensured that Obama's goals would never happen. That doesn't mean Putin is some kind of hero attacking ISIS. He is attacking anybody opposing Assad.

If we want to effectively oppose Putin we need to think about what puts the most pressure on him. The easiest way is messing with the European petroleum market, so maybe an oil man as Sec of State is a good idea.

Rubio, McCain and Graham are war criminals and traitors for arming jihadists in Syria and Libya.

Tillerson should have asked little Marco if obama should be considered a war criminal?

little marco needs to remember that Florida voters thought a lot more of Trump than his little squirt azz.

Putin is a killer, a murderer, and not our friend.

Putin warned us against 1) invading Iraq; 2) destablizing Libya; 3) trying to take out Assad. He was right on all three, and if we had listened everybody would be better off and the middle east wouldn’t be on fire.

He may not be a “friend,” but Putin has given us good advice, friendly advice that we should have followed.

With his petulant, scripted “gotcha” questions to Tillerson, Rubio came across as what he is - a no-background lightweight. Tillerson, a man of tremendous accomplishment and experience, showed his superior temperament by resisting what must have been the urge to dress down that pipsqueak senator.

Little Marco is a substance-free poser. There is nothing in his background that shows accomplishments. He’s just political lifer. I am certainly not impressed by PeeWee Marco’s academic achievements. Nothing about him impresses me.

If Rubio, or any of his ilk, are itching for war with someone, anyone, they’ll do it without my sons.

If war breaks out, how about we put Rubio in a tank on the front lines...with a big box of Depends, of course.

Using Marcos criteria the Obama administration committed war crimes and since he was a senator and did nothing to stop it he is one too

Rubio really is petulant. Reminds me of Obama actually.

I certainly didn’t vote for him.
There were a limited number of options on the ballot, I wrote in Rick Scott.

We are not all idiots, here in Florida.

Russian intelligence also tried to warn us about the Boston bombers too if I remember correctly.

I'll take "bluffing" for $500, Alex.

Little Marco will back his President's nominee, or suffer the wrath of the American people.

Bu...but Rush says, "Marco is a full-throated conservative."

Never trust a dwarf pansy politician. By definition, they are ALWAYS compromised.

Rush also said Romney was the most honorable and decent man to run for the White House.
He still thinks highly of the Bushes too.
Rose colored glasses?

Rush may be the self-styled mayor of Realville, but he doesn't live there.
