Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia.

Defending Trump’s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didn’t know Russia’s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trump’s handling of Ukraine to Biden’s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    Biden’s approach to Israel

    seems absolutely sane by comparison to your boss, there, buddy.

    and if you were going to ‘biden’ your support for ukraine, there’d be a non-stop airlift going on with equipment and armaments.

      seems absolutely sane by comparison to your boss, there, buddy.

      Coming at the Israeli genocide in Gaza and calling it “sane” is one hell of a take.

        He called it “sane by comparison”. He didn’t say it was sane. Words mean things.

            Oh, you’re one of those who can’t distinguish between genocide and super-genocide with golf resorts. I wish the world were as simple as people like you seem to believe.
