Rubio wants us to adopt the “I don’t know what everybody’s worried about… I’m fine” attitude toward war crimes.
Rubio wants us to adopt the “I don’t know what everybody’s worried about… I’m fine” attitude toward war crimes.
The man is a subservient coward and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Is Rubio really that naive, obtuse or just indifferent by thinking that our daily lives here in the U.S. are immune to the outcome of the Russian war on Ukraine? He has to be one of THE worst Secretaries of State we’ve had. Another “proud” export of my dumb state 🤦♀️
The old "I got mine, screw the rest of you" argument.
It’s why Zelenskyy would be a fool to accept any new guarantees. Especially from Trump, for whom a promise is good only as long as he finds it useful, and not a nanosecond longer.
Marco Rubio pretends to be oblivious about the Republican Political Party's war on Americans. We are not "largely unaffected". Our nation's food supply, judicial infrastructure, political infrastructure, economic infrastructure, social and educational structures are being undermined. We see & feel.
Screw those other guys, says our Secretary of State.
...and no one sentient would care if you emigrated to Russia, little Marco.
Life in my household will be largely unaffected whether Rubio’s head spontaneously explodes or not. That’s just a fact.
Probably said that ukraine started the war and that they could end the war by giving Russia 1/5th of their land.
A true humanitarian! Fuck everyone else. Us white Americans will be fine, unless it affects us personally. Then we'll scream bloody murder! The American way. God bless America. Fuck everyone else! Only in America! Lil Marco, did you shit yourself at the sight of Zelensky? Chicken shit little prick!!
it's funny (not funny) that you think he knows about that pledge.
Wow. It won’t be the same. We won’t be unaffected. What an isolationist idiot!
What a HORRIBLE MAN!! And this is our Secretary of State!!
Marco "Neville Chamberlain" Rubio.
Rubio traded his shame with his soul.
This Rubio? "For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media & voters at large that are gonna be having to explain & justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Trump, because this is not gonna end well."
I will tell you the truth. Putin at this moment is in a very precarious condition, facing financial ruin and revolt at home. Will he wiggle out of this thanks to his good buddy trump?
It's a real "don't give a shit" ! That tells everything !
Das ist ein harter Schlag, aber leider keine Überraschung. Wie kann man als Amerikaner nicht nur zusehen, sondern auch stillschweigend zustimmen, wenn ein russischer Diktator Menschen in der Ukraine tötet und vergewaltigt, während der amerikanische Präsident untätig bleibt?
This is an American President already convicted of rape who brags he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and his people would love them. And MAGA still voted for him. And act like Americans shouldn’t be disgusted and horrified by him and them.
Don't expect to cash a check written by Donald Trump. Everyone knows this.
I wish it were so - but unfortunately it was a non aggression treaty, not one of assistance. The other parties (USA, UK and later France and China in similar documents) have observed the terms. Russia of course has not, but there was no remedy for this in the treaty, so it was entirely toothless
Shameful
Thanks to Americas broken promises to protect Ukraine, the world has learned the only way to guarantee against invasion is to have nuclear weapons. We’ve guaranteed Iran and others will now get them after forcing Ukraine to disarm in the 90’s
Iran is listening.
The world has been leaning that way for awhile, but you’re right, this and the Iranian attack have made it a virtual certainty.
I say it again: the Budapest Memorandum only said the signatories would not attack Ukraine. If one of them did, the others would "consult". Also, Ukraine never had and did not want a nuclear force: the strategic nukes in Ukraine were still under Russian control until withdrawn.
Coz he's a sniveling little fucker turned his back on the truth and honor now Marco is just a total walking used douche
💯💯💯 THIS RIGHT HERE!
He's a sycophantic ghoul.
Yes. And still the most capable member of the cabinet, which is a bitter commentary on this moment in history.
Marco must have raped children with Trump and Epstein-no human is this stupid on purpose! What does Trump & Putin have on you lil pedophile??
The way we rolled over and played dead when Russia attacked Ukraine and took Crimea is the exact reason why North Korea, Israel, Iran, Pakistan, India and others will never give up their nukes. They don't trust us, for good reason.
And since, we may be on the subject of the so-called peace talks, who, in the hell conducts negotiations in front of cameras and microphones? Only a fool who cared nothing about getting positive results. Taco really does believe he has a reality TV show. No consequences, only ratings.
And Rubio, back when he had a little bit of integrity and intelligence and character was a Ukraine supporter. How do you betray everything holy to follow a great fat orange postule?
He is a dumb trump mouth piece
Thank you so much for highlighting the 1994 agreement! Rubio is a lying pathetic coward piece of 💩! Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994 as part of the Budapest agreement in exchange for security assurances knowing that it made them very vulnerable to Russian expansion.
If Rubio thinks the war in Ukraine is irrelevant to US interests, why don't they just butt out?
Excuse me, but, as an American, I can attest that my daily life is affected simply by having the knowledge that a Russian dictator is ordering the ongoing death and rape of Ukrainians while an American president who could stop the war is doing nothing about it.
As an American I totally agree.
How, exactly: could trump succeed in ending the war when Biden couldn't?
Trump could defend Ukraine, a longtime ally of the U.S., by sending in a blitzkrieg of hardware to push the Russians back to their home country.
Exactly what Biden did...achieving a deadlock. But this deadlock could accelerate into a nuclear exchange. Pretty sure if Putin had to choose btw a "Gaza-fied" Moscow or dropping a tac-nuke on Kiev I know which one he'd choose.
Trump said he could and he can't. He's a liar
Trump could give highly publicized verbal support for Ukraine and provide more weapons for Ukraine to defeat Russia or at least demonstrate to Putin that he cannot prevail. Putin will back down only when it's made clear to him that he will not win.
Highly publicized verbal support for Ukraine, followed by $175billion in weapons aid since 2022 hasn't achieved peace. What you're suggesting is exactly what Biden attempted--and failed to achieve. It's time for negotiation.
You cant negotiate when the only thing one party will accept is xompete and total surrender
Sorry, wrong. Every single war in history has ended with negotiations--even WW2.
Indeed. Negotiations that happened when all sides were willing to negotiate. Putin isnt willing, and this no negotiations will work. Just as they have failed all the dozens of times before now
Newsflash: things change over time. Putin's not willing to negotiate NOW, b/c of trump. He can't keep this up forever; and neither can the Ukrainians. Eventually peace talks will happen. It's how all wars' end.
No hes not. The alaska summit made it clear that like every other summit, hes just stringing his usefull isiot trump along. Peace talks will hapoen. How about you demand the agressor start them, rather than the victim that was needlessly attacked?
Negotiate what? You don't negotiate with a thief. You either surrender or fight back hard enough to get the thief to drop the goods he stole. Biden provided enough weapons (late) for Ukraine to stop Russia's further advance, but never enough for Ukraine to push them put.
Oh, you don't negotiate with a nuclear armed state that's an existential threat to Europe? Well that's good to, err, know. A pity BIDEN didn't get that memo. Yeah, you're right--let's just give another $175billion to Ukraine and check back in another 3yrs or so. I mean, what could go wrong?
Rubio is such a rube. It is total nonsense that life in the US will be unaffected by what happens in Ukraine. Putin can not stop his aggression without his regime collapsing. He'll just take on the next genocidal project, and the next, and the next.
Goal posts don't move themselves, ya know!
Disgusting to be so detached from the suffering & deaths of those in Ukraine. The world doesn’t revolve around the US. What an asshole.
So giving them the same assurances again might not be so reassuring?? 😡
He, and others like him, are counting on American ignorance or forgetfulness. I. Remember. I would call shame, if I thought they could even feel shame.
Rubio. Also compromised.
The Ukrainians show us how to fight dictators, with bravery, common purpose, ingenuity, and humanity, that is what makes them so dangerous to Trump and his minions.
Honesty way better then the russian they try to avoid , civilian cost at most , attacking military facilities and oil refineries , while Putin kills innocent civilians by the thousands with his air raids ...
... every day/night.
Also, the 'who gives a fuck about people far away?' attitude is a bad look. Rubio is a hypocrite, shameless shill and shallow-souled ambitious climber. No real sense of honest service. Just political climbing and hackery as a career choice. Fuck him.
Rubio has become a puppet. If you look closely you can see an arm stuck up his ass to manipulate what he says. His political future is over. All he will be after this is a talking head on Fox
这个美国外交部长说的是人话吗?还有脸在电视上说?
South Korea & Taiwan will pursue nukes to defend themselves. Japan should too but their history won't let them. Australia should have the UK install some silos in their country. Drumpf doesn't care about past agreements.
American memories are pathetically short.
In the United States it has almost become normal for the news media and politicians to ignore Trump's distortions of reality, the leaders of Europe came to Washington today to make it clear that if America doesn't care about security in Europe, they do, and will forge their own policies without us.
Sociopath.
What an asshole. Total asshole. It does affect anyone with an ounce of empathy.
Arcadia: - Pan is dead` and what remains in history are two where one was fooled, and one who fooled, period #Monkssnap #putin #Trump #Arcadia #Ukraine #peace #world #africa #Pan #fooled on.soundcloud.com/54btYibLEGLZ...
Silly boy. That’s not a fact. It’s an opinion. The Epstein Files? Now that’s a fact. Release them!
This is what treachery and betrayal looks like... and lets not forget that previous world wars have started in Europe... unlike the last two, NO ONE will get to sit this one out
Rubio is a coward.
My life will go on largely unaffected if Little Marco were to disappear for good. Same vibes?
Eradicate the Right. Destroy the Russian invaders. Put Rubio in a ICC cell.
Oh, it won’t directly impact my life, so go ahead, back the unlawful invader. An insight into the hashtag meonly mindset of Repugs.
Everyone constantly always. Our promises are meaningless at this point anyway ╮(╯_╰)╭
He’s disgusting 🤢
Could use your help boosting this, George: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0f...
"Rubio shamelessly..." all else is superfluous.
Bollocks! Because Putin won't stop there--we capitulate now, he'll head for Poland or the Balkins & Baltics, then it's game on because they're our NATO partners and now we're all in it! Rubio can't see what's happening--he's too far up Taco Boy's colon!
Putin will turn the best grainery in Europe into an economic weapon the way Kruschev did
Marco Rubio is a worm
Rubio's statement may be one of the most profoundly inhumane and callous that I've heard from this regime. The 1 million people of Ukrainian ancestry living in the U.S. would like a word.
This mouse betrays everyone and conveniently forgets the facts to suit himself
"Yeah, so about those promises, they were made by other people not us, so, er, we're not going to honour them because we are pro-genocide, pro-war and drumpf loves pootin"
"Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing"
And it is worth remembering that Russia is not thousands of miles across the Atlantic and continental Europe. It is just 51 miles away across the Bering Stait. A point that appears lost to many Americans.
Rubio has already been affected by the war in Ukraine. Since the White house is now ruled from Moscow, it’s Russian policy to send Rubio's Mexican relatives to prisons in El Salvador.
BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM!!!!!!!!!!!! MOTHERFUCKER’S!!!!!
Little Marco and his orange boss need to give Ukraine back all their nuclear weapons.
History will not be kind to sell out Marco,
I think you’re above your pay grade on this one.
Remember the last time? There was a war in Europe that had nothing to do with the US there was this thing called Pearl Harbour. Before that the Lucitania Oh and remember how great tariffs were for the great depression? Do they teach history in the US or has Trump banned it?
Only a lunatic believes life is great and peaceful in the US.
has a show of good faith President Trump is returning Alaska back to Russia.
Little Marco deserves to be mercilessly slapped around for his Trump sycophantic BS.
What an A**hole. We need new leadership. These dicktators have to go. Remember I was following orders is not an excuse. If you choose to do the bidding of this administration, you are a trader to this country, its constitution and humanity.
He is a putz
There will be world peace when 1) Putin, 2) Netanyahu, and 3) Pedofelon Trump are arrested and tried for their crimes against humanity.
There are many more heathens than these 3, but certainly these mutt heads are the key players
Give Ukraine nukes.
oviously💙💛👊🇺🇦🌎
The toxic American mentality these days. Either if it's about Ukraine, healthcare or global warming. "If it doesn't affect me, so I don't care. Hell, I will probably go an extra mile making it harder on those it affects."
A crystal clear example of how these people don't care about others or see many of them as human beings of equal measure. It should affect you because you're HUMAN and you care about HUMANITY.
The US owes Ukraine 🇺🇦 Security and Protection!
The US owes Ukraine a lot but we’re not ready to talk about that yet
Rubio is a hollow man.
He's a douche in a sea of douches.
Marco Rubio is a traitor to the USA
Sanctions on Russia brings them back to the negotiating table. Fuck russia and its puppet dump.
Shameless and shaming. The deliberate omission of this treaty and promise, now broken, is going to lead the world not thinking of the USA in the same way. There is no promise held, word kept, integrity. It will always happen in 2 weeks only to be put off again. Shame is on the whole USA
Exactly so George, these promises were made in sincerity. It's disgraceful that they have been cast aside, broken along with the people of Ukraine.
Rubio's just another Trumpie puppet.
George, we did not. The Budapest Memorandum only states that, in exchange for removing the nuclear weapons, that the four signatories (US, Russian Federation, UK & Ukraine) would: * respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine * refrain from threats or use of force
against Ukraine (excepting self-defense) * refrain from economic coercion * refrain from nuking Ukraine * agree to talk to each other if there are questions And the main point that gets misinformed about it the treaty's 4th section: not direct military intervention if Ukraine is attacked, but to
go to the UN Security Council. It does not obligate the US (nor UK) to militarily defend Ukraine. There are reasons to do so- but the Budapest Memorandum, which was the treaty under which Ukraine gave up its Soviet nuclear arsenal, is not it. (I will post the BM Section 4 below in its entirety)
4) The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party...
... to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.
Not even a little true.
TAPAS = Trump Always Putin’s Ass Sucker
So he's essentially saying that I shouldn't care if people are slaughtered in Ukraine because it won't affect the price of groceries.
I didn't knew that 😳. Where can we find these treaties right now ?
we should, but we do not have honorable people running the show just now
Marco Rubio is the Dan Quayle of peace and diplomacy.
Why has nobody talked or is anybody talking about the 35,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children??? What. The. Fuck???????
Except when it comes to international trade and such with other countries . If Ukraine falls and Russia continues its crusade on capturing and reclaiming USSR past holdings, then there damn well will be a great effect on the USA. Rubio is a nearsighted idiot when it comes to world politics.
Fox gives air time to way too many callous jerks.
📌
Giving big Captain Hook energy, Marquito... youtu.be/O4AfA_lebIg?...
Being shameless is his superpower.
As usual, Little Marco is wrong. If Ukraine loses, the Baltic Nations will be next and NATO will be called on to fight. That means us.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably
We do honor. Republicans dont. It absolutely won't end with Ukraine.
For now maybe, but what kind of short sided, idiotic view is that…seriously! I guess it’s to be expected from trumps low IQ, xenophobic administration!
Ukrainians decide the fate of their country. If they continue fighting, that's their right. @georgetakei.bsky.social is correct about the security assurance the US gave in 1994 when it forced Ukraine to give up nukes. The US owes Ukraine protection, no matter which president made the commitment.
Now there’s a person who cares 🤬👹
Slimey Little Creature he is , I did compair him to Grima Wormtongue , or Smeagol , to make things easier for me ... Atleast , I can't say rats , I would insult them
When you speak with someone like Rubio who has the mind of a petulant child what could you expect? Of course, nothing matters except the U.S.; we are alone in the world and need no friends. No one nor anything can match us! "If lack of understand were nickels he would be the richest fool around"
Thank you for digging this out of the memory hole!
America lived under the threat of nuclear war with the Soviet Union for years. It spent $13 Trillion fighting the cold war. The Russian conquest of Ukraine would be the first step in a new Soviet Union. Even if America is too stupid to understand that, Europe isn't.
Rubio on why we must protect Ukraine: youtu.be/3ADT1DVnvK4?...
It will end in UA for Europe, but will it ever end for you? Think about that
Rubio is such an ass-kissing WIMP!
Hey, George is pointing out that the U.S. promised to protect Ukraine if they gave up their nuclear weapons back in '94. He's saying we gotta keep that promise and stop Russia's attacks, or it'll spread beyond Ukraine.
For how long, Mr. Chamber....er, Rubio?
Rubio = Simple thoughts from a simple mind.
What a crap attitude.
Something is telling me that any “security assurances” pledged by Trump should be considered w/caution. “Pledge and not deliver” has been an MO of T his entire life. He wants the headline “ukraine/Russia War is over”. He’ll have to LIE to get that headline. Pledge but not deliver. Take caution Z.
The old, it doesn’t hurt me so who cares, line of thinking used by horrible people forever.
A gated community mindset.
America didn't get involved in WW1 until the Zimmerman telegram revealed Germany was planning on attacking America with Mexico. America didn't get involved in WW2 until they were attacked at Pearl Harbour. It doesn't hurt me so who cares is America's standard position.
Isn’t this the whole sham? Your compromised American President gives security guarantees he does not intend (is not permitted) to honour, allowing Putin enough time to re-arm, and Russia invades again.
