        His first big exposure to the national spotlight was when he gave the Republican response to one of Obama’s State of the Union addresses. And for whatever reason he had insane dry mouth and had to pause his live-on-air speech to grab an off-screen bottle of water and take a drink and for a while that was all anybody associated him with. It kind of killed his momentum as a rising star at the time.

    Honestly while Rubio sucks and it’s not really his place to say this, it’s hard to imagine any peace deal that doesn’t have involve territorial concessions. It’s up to Ukrainians to decide whether that or continuing the war is worse but I just don’t see any other options. Ultimately, Russia has to agree to end the war somehow.

      Unless something dramatically changes for the better, I tend to agree. Russia is unlikely to be pushed back far enough to regain that territory without direct help (more than just weapons) from other countries.

    Why doesn’t the U.S. just become part of Canada? Oh… you mean you don’t want to give up U.S. territory… funny how that works.
