Incoming U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the MAGA reforms he's bringing to a department rife with progressives, Deep Staters, and international pantswetters (these are my words, not his), according to a memo issued almost as soon as he entered office and seen by RealClear.
Rubio's memo — a cable in State Department parlance — went out to every U.S. diplomatic and consular post around the world promising to bring an immediate stop to his predecessor's emphasis on “ideology over common sense."
“Every dollar we spend, every program we fund, and every policy we pursue must be justified with the answer to three simple questions,” Rubio told America's diplomatic corps. Those questions, according to RealClear, are; "Does the action make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous?"
If the answer to any one of those questions is "No," then presumably so is Rubio's.
Rubio also staked State's claim to helping restore order to the country's southern border, insisting that "this department will no longer undertake any activities that facilitate or encourage" illegal immigration.
But politics, as the late, great Andrew Breitbart would remind us, remains downstream of the culture — and that might be where Rubio leaves his strongest mark as America's top diplomat.
“Far too much of America’s diplomacy is focused on pushing political and cultural causes that are divisive at home and deeply unpopular abroad,” Rubio noted about former SecState Antony Blinken's woke "pride" policies and constant displays. “This creates unnecessary friction with other nations and obstructs our ability to conduct a pragmatic foreign policy and work cooperatively with other nations to advance our core national interests.”

Find those rainbow flags all over US embassies around the world and publicly burn them.
I fear that Little Marco is going to fail, and quickly. There is some reason Trump has placed him there to throw a bone to the RINOs, but I expect Trump to say, “Okay we tried it your way so I could get these other Cabinet posts. Now we’ll do it my way…”
“Rubio noted about former SecState Antony Blinken’s woke “pride” policies and constant displays. “This creates unnecessary friction with other nations and obstructs our ability to conduct a pragmatic foreign policy and work cooperatively with other nations to advance our core national interests.”
Rubio has placed his finger on an important point.
That being, the US bullying of other nations to be “equitable and inclusive” in order to gain US $$ is resented across the globe.
Basically, Trump gave him the job because he knew his position could be easily filled by DeSantis.
This is amazing!
Thank you Marco Rubio for this wonderful help to America and the safety of America!

LOVE THIS!
MAGA. and May America turn back to Jesus again!
Maybe some will quit. There’s hope.

That point forms a big part of Putin's & Xi's propaganda.
We also have to realize that even pushing democracy has to yield to geopolitical realities, just as it did during the Cold War. We are no longer in a unipolar moment and with China, face a threat at a level we haven't seen since our competition with the European powers in the 19th century.
I’m not even sure it’s “MURICA” anymore, but the US has no business jamming this “rainbow” nonsense on other countries around the world. These are mental illnesses we are promoting, at least that is my belief.
I think I liked it better when America had a Department of War. It made you keep your head straight on what peace and diplomacy were.
I wonder if Marco is going to continue the practice of speaking to the American public in Spanish, like he did at his swearing-in ceremony. That needs to be the last time we ever hear a Secretary of State speaking to the public in a foreign language that the majority of citizens don’t understand.
Lol, you are correct, but I find that many citizens whose first language is English don’t really understand it either. :)
Good point.

Oh! I can hear the butthurt around the world. Epic! Homeric!
Total World Domination -—What Else?

To serve America's interests abroad.
Remember, countries do NOT have friends, they have interests!
AMEN!!
I have not heard a single robust conversation by a single DC Republican, nor American media coverage that includes a single hearing or mention of the complaints made in Putin’s speech, immediately before Russia launched its “Special Operation into Ukraine.
The US would do well to admit that only the Western nations completely blacked out the Putin speech in order to Avoid confessing that the West would have reacted to those same threats far sooner and harder if facing the same threats.
Biden chose the ca$h cow of the war machine, and sent the bill to taxpayers. Breaking the U$ was the goal and he made millions using his drug addled son as his mule.
Trump will be doing most of the diplomatic stuff anyway.
I thought those flags got banned yedterday...cannot keep up
