A quote: “I think the Ukrainians have been incredibly brave and strong when standing up to Russia. But at the end of the day, what we’re funding here is a stalemate war, and it needs to be brought to a conclusion because that country is going to be set back 100 years,” Rubio said. Gotta love the butt . Also, setting less developed countries back 100 years is exactly the plan of neoliberalism.

So what is Rubio going to do in the Levant? Another quote: “Israel’s enemies are also our enemies. The Iranian regime and its proxies . . . seek Israel’s destruction as part of a multi-stage plan to dominate the Middle East and destabilize the West. The Jewish state is on the front lines of this conflict, fighting with many shared American-Israeli lives,” he wrote back in May for National Review. What? He's claiming Iran wants to expand its territorial boundaries? Holy projection

President-elect Trump has also called Marco Rubio a “virtual secretary of state for Latin America,” which... I guess means he's one of the only rich guys Trump knows who knows how to speak Spanish.

On China? Rubio was one of the main people behind the "Tiktok ban" attempt. He also tried to block all Huawei imports.

This is how the Reuters article ends:

Rubio, whose grandfather fled Cuba in 1962, is also an outspoken opponent of normalizing relations with the Cuban government, a position Trump shares.

The head of the House subcommittee overseeing Latin American affairs, he is also a frequent and fierce critic of Nicolas Maduro's government in Venezuela.

Why did your grandfather flee Cuba in 1962, Marco? Huh? Why did he flee? NOOOOO
