The U.S. and Russia are "barreling toward a Second Cold War," Marco Rubio will say in a speech today in Iowa, "and strong American leadership is the only force capable of ensuring that peace and security once again prevail."
Rubio, who has gotten attention for his hard-line foreign policy outlook, is to speak in Cedar Rapids at the Americans for Peace, Prosperity and Security National Security Forum.
"The more our current president fails the test of leadership against Putin, the more important it becomes for our next president to pass it. I will pass this test," Rubio vows in prepared remarks.
Read his plan to take on Putin: Over the last five years, I have consistently spoken out on the need to contain Russian aggression, even when it wasn’t popular. I have highlighted the dangers of the Obama/Clinton “reset” with Russia. And in 2014, I urged a rapid and forceful response to Putin’s annexation of Crimea.
As soon as I take office, I will move quickly to increase pressure on Moscow. I will impose a new round of sanctions on The Kremlin’s senior leadership and other Russian entities, including Gazprom, and will work with Europe to exclude Russia from the SWIFT interbank payment system.
I will immediately provide Ukraine with lethal military assistance and increased intelligence sharing to ensure that Putin’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty comes at a price.

How ‘bout if a few tens of millions of Russian “immigrants” swarm over the Rio Grande? Will you stand up to him then, Marco?
Maybe you could show us how you’d do it by practicing on the Mexican hordes.
Rubberio is such a tough guy. He wants to go toe to toe with Putin.
Illegal aliens from south of the border, not so much. He wants to give them a free pass on all of their lawless behavior.
It may be too late for any kind of closed door dialog...thanks to Obama. But Rubio is correct..the US will need to reassert ourselves soon. How, when and why remain to be seen. Rubio is correct on this one.
If the Rooskies want to kill islamonazis in large numbers and send them to their Helen Thomas look alike virgins...
GET OUT OF THE WAY OR JOIN UP AND END THEM.
Russia is not our enemy today...today..and we should take advantage of that in the destruction of ISIS and the rest of them.
