An annual gathering of top international security figures that last year set the tone for a growing rift between the United States and Europe opens Friday, bringing together many top European officials with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others.

In any relationship, times change. Personalities change. Circumstances change. The parties’ interests separate. They grow apart. This doesn’t necessarily mean divorce. It could be an amicable separation where they maintain their mutual interests. I’d hope that’s the case with Europe.
Unfortunately, Europe is a thirty-year-old boy living rent free in his parent’s basement and bragging about his disposable income. In my experience, he needs to have his butt thrown out to make his own way in the world for a while, so he appreciates what he had. We could renegotiate the relationship later under new terms.
It seems funny that the country who once “provided international security”, in the hands of Nazi/SS personnel, are hosting such a thing in the present?
When does Rubio speak?
