Marco Rubio gets standing ovation at Munich

[Robert W]

Germany in 1989 had basically no national debt. Then due to the reunification, national debt now stands at almost 3 trillion euro.

East Germany was a disaster. Disasters cost a lot to rectify. Is the German public for this or not?

 

[Kruska]

A lot of people have found the Dem party has left them, and found a home in the bigger tent GOP....heck Donald Trump is one of those people

My child, stop talking and spreading silly talk - go home and take your vitamins.

 

[Robert W]

The keys to getting Europe on your side:
1. Remind them that the West is a pretty nice place and has been so for a long time.
2. Give them permission to stop feeling guilty about that whole "Fascist thing:.
3. Don't talk about stealing Greenland.

If you follow these three simple rules, you too can have Europe giving you a standing ovation.

Rubio was clear.

Struth was perfectly correct.

One must keep in mind that there was absolutely no threat from anyone including Russia from 1990 till 2022. Then due to the expansionist US hegemony, Europe got dragged into the Ukraine/Russian conflict. Which now a pathological fraudster, claims to be Europe's problem.

Eastern Ukraine ring a bell? Crimea ring a bell?
Russia invaded Ukraine because Russia wanted Ukraine. The US didn't.

Note Germany's defense expenditures are still crappy.

Europe's leaders agree. Doing what Trump keeps doing, he effectively tosses the problem to Europe and not the USA.

here you are, whining again, because you got called out

 

[Robert W]

You support more war in Ukraine just like Joe and Don, and just about all in Congress and the billionaires. Do you ever learn from your mistakes?

Do you support seizing the Venezuelan ruler? Do you support the US coup in Ukraine in 2014? Did you support the interventions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen? Do you support attacking Iran? Do you support attacking Cuba, Greenland, and Canada?

I support peace.

War is the health of the state!!! Do I need to explain this to you?

You did not reply to me. You began accusing.
So, one more time.

To be fair to you, do you support Russia seizing Crimea and the present land they so far waged war to get? Do you support Trump in what he does?

East Germany was a disaster. Disasters cost a lot to rectify. Is the German public for this or not?

Was the American public asked when Bush jun. decided to make war on Iraq?
Was the American public asked when the pathological fraudster made war on Venezuela and Iran?

Was the German public in East and West asked if they want to reunify?
Was the German public asked if they want the government to take up 600 billion euro to enrich the German military complex?

 

[Blisterfinger]

Dream on dummy. Trump is an unmitigated disaster. Why any REAL American would think this Israeli owned billionaire controlled mindless warmongering fool is doing an amazing job, just proves how easy the establishment can fool some of the people all the time.

Your TDS and anti-Semitism is quite remarkable that's for sure. You are obviously quite disinformed. Luckily you are an extreme minority.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Oh geez, another MAGA assclown who thinks Rubio is a good guy for praising Orban who steals elections, robs the country blind, puts his jackboot on the neck of the news media, violates the human rights of his citizens, throws people in prison who oppose him etc etc etc.

You're a stooge for Trump & his lackeys like Rubio just like that other moron on here who I sent packing to go cry in his beer.

That was great speech by Rubio. I could see how an Un-American asshole like you would be intimidated by that

We will deal with that after you honestly reply to my questions.

AOC was channeling her inner Kamala. She doesn't quite have the word salad recipe perfected yet, but she's working on it.

"Economic research and global positions," you say? Did no one on your team ever think to discuss with you how to answer this?

when was the American people at war with Venezula or Iran????

As far as Iraq, in American, we have a democratic-republic....which means we elect representatives to go to Washington to speak for us....and yes Congress voted overwhelming with the use of military forces in Iraq.

Can't speak to Germany, but geez, how can we forget that major F up of a country that we had to bail out....now you are whining about it

 

[Robert W]

Both Bush presidents fought Saddam Hussein. So, when his son became president, he was finishing Dad's job.
Jr kept telling us all, Saddam is a gathering danger. And that is a fact.

 

[Mac-7]

I'd take Rubio. He would slice and dice the ditz Cortez if they dared run her.

He would

But it would have no influence on libs

If she is the nominee they will vote for her anyway even if she is stupid

 

[Meister]

Like a sales tax. If I don't buy it I don't pay the tax. If I do buy it I pay the tax.

EDIT: I think we have discussed this to death and this is about Rubio's speech yes? Going back to the topic.

Call it whatever you want Zinc, I hope it gets you to sleep at night.
It was a good gig for other countries before Trump imposed tariffs
on the countries.

 

[Kruska]

Eastern Ukraine ring a bell?

Yes - Ukrainian nationalists raining terror onto Russian-Ukrainian separatists. - only then Putin came in with force.

Crimea ring a bell?

Yes - USA/NATO not willing to abstain from getting Ukraine into their hands.

Russia invaded Ukraine because Russia wanted Ukraine. The US didn't.

Wrong - Russia demands it's sphere of influence, just as the USA and any other major power does. Logically Russia denied the US to enter it's sphere - aka Ukraine.

Note Germany's defense expenditures are still crappy.

Wrong - Germany's defense budget now stands at US$ 115 billion - almost 5% of GDP - and we are still buying crap and useless US stuff.

There were Russian soldiers already fighting there.

Now do Crimea.

2% in 2024. target goal of 3.5% by 2029.
