Summary

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

Defending Trumpā€™s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnā€™t know Russiaā€™s demands.

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

Rubio also compared Trumpā€™s handling of Ukraine to Bidenā€™s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    It canā€™t be supervised by itā€™s neighbours if the two biggest neighbours arenā€™t apart of it

    If the US and China abandon Ukraine WW3 will happen so to pretend thereā€™s a safe way out of it is unreasonable

    The US will look to Canada

    Russia will look to Germany

    China will look to Taiwan

      I donā€™t know if any of your predictions are true. They might be, but I donā€™t have nearly enough evidence to be confident in any of them.

      If they are, I donā€™t see how the complete collapse of Russia is even remotely feasible. Those predictions add up to saying that none of the necessary pre-conditions have been or will be met. Together, they say that we have no way to coerce Russia into the desired state and we have no way to re-align their interest to get them to do so voluntarily.

      China definitely wonā€™t swoop in to defend Ukraine against Russia. I think we can agree on that. Itā€™s pretty clear the US wonā€™t either. I think we can agree on that too.

      Thatā€™s why Iā€™m wondering if you think the EU can get big enough to do so on itā€™s own, and do so quickly.

        i do not know if Europe can do it unfortunately

        I am thankful that Europe knows enough about 2 front wars to not give up on us in Canada

        Britain and France being nuclear powers and Germany having strong manufacturing may pose enough of a risk that they avoid a hot war and continue disinformation efforts
