Yes, Yes, Yes, Trump's "Putin Demands You Surrender" Peace Plan sucks because of Marco Rubio, and for no other reason

It's Putin's "Give Me Everything I Fucking Want And Maybe Then I'll Stop Murdering Your Children": Fatwa with gold-leaf lettering by the Trump administration.

And it's ALL MARCO'S FAULT!

Reagan would have never given an inch to Putin. In fact, the first time Putin threatened to use nukes, St. Ronnie would have threatened to use twice as many.

Reagan was a mess but he wouldn't have buckled under to Putin. Neither would have HW, Clinton, W, Obama or Biden.

Trump is weak.

If I'd single out Rubio to fault, its because I think anyone with any self-respect in his position with all this conniving, secrecy and rash of internal bunkers in the administration should have either had the guts to take a stand and call it out and dare Trump to fire him, or resign in as demonstrative terms as he could muster.

History might be kinder to him if he did.
