Well, we better get used to Rubio‘s resplendent revisionism because, for better or for worse, he’s going to be the next GOP nominee and likely US President.
This for two reasons:
1] Susie Wiles and Rubio have conspired to emphasize Trumps worst traits by encouraging ever grander displays of international foolishness. To those two serpents, the end justifies the means, the nation be damned. Tulsi? Just as with Gen. Flynn, she was isolated from intel then made to give speeches that made her the fool. If Tulsi resigns, she will be branded insubordinate, if she stays she will be labeled as in collusion while being kept in an information bubble. Damned if do, damned if you don’t. Ditto with their positioning of Vance. That Vance lacks the sense to put a halt to this manipulation does not speak well for him.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to readers here, Rubio has had his speeches heavily edited by Langley’s media-mockingbirds; the edited material emphasize popular domestic points while obscuring his foreign interventionists policy. This makes Rubio appear reasonable to the public at large who still get their news through Langley’s mockingbirds. This…while Marco and Susie are in the background lighting fires and pouring gasoline onto all that will burn. This duo, Susie-Wiles & Marco-Rubio are the veiled face of evil, worthy of the intrigues into which Rome crumbled.
2] The DNC long ago purged all it’s FDRists and replaced them with gilded-age-Wilsonians; they can offer no alternative, save for the style of rhetoric, they have the same goals as Rubio. And then there is Newsome, the only person I know who can make Kamala look like a towering intellect. Talk about an empty vessel into which you can pour any hope you may still possess.
The only fly in the ointment for Rubio & Wiles subterfuge is that wildcard and I am sure Susie has her people ready to give that Joker a dirt nap should he so much as moves a muscle in the direction of becoming President. I’d stay away from wearing microphones or wearing pagers if I were him…if you catch my drift?

In a speech held at the Munich Security Conference Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for a renewal of the colonial age:
In a perfect world, all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But we do not live in a perfect world, and we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate.
This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again. For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.
But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.
Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came to believe that the West’s age of dominance had come to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make. This is what we did together once before, and this is what President Trump and the United States want to do again now, together with you.
Arnaud Bertrand summarizes:
The man literally laments the outcome of WW2 because it marked the end of the era during which “the West had been expanding”, a “path” he “hopes [the US and Europe] walk together again.”
And just to ensure you’re clear about what he means: he wants to restore the building of “vast empires extending across the globe” and blames “anti-colonial uprisings” for what they did to “the great Western empires.”
He also says that “we cannot continue” to allow “abstractions of international law” get in the way of US interests.
Basically the man is openly saying that the whole post-colonial order was a mistake and he’s calling on Europe to share the spoils of building a new one.
Some of the dimwits in the room did applaud that revisionist nonsense.
Bertrand cautiones:
What’s the thinking here? That Trump’s America – “America first” – would suddenly become magnanimous and share with Europe just out of sentiment? That’s not how imperialism works: the whole premise of it is that the strong dominate the weak.
When an imperial power is speaking to you of sentiments, of how much they like you and how they want to partner with you – the much weaker party – that’s cause for worry, not applause …
Rubio’s speech was a call up of satraps who are willing to be the proxy forces fo fight for U.S. global hegemony – just as the Europeans already are with regards to Ukraine.
But Rubio is living in the past. A past in which the Europeans, through their supremacy in warfare, could conquer and devastate vast areas of the planet:
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”
Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
The West, thankfully, no longer has exclusive access to weaponry. It can no longer raise the forces needed – the technology, money, people and ideology – to subjugate the planet. Any attempt to do so will only end in disaster.
Europe would thereby be well advised to stay away Rubio’s unhinged nonsense.
