This is easily sharable to your lefty friends. They cant even say anything negative about it since the audience clapped loudly.
TL;DR - Marco informs Europeans that US has no intention of leaving Europe behind as has been pasted all over the news lately. However, US want to help the Europe that has the rich cultural, spiritual connection to the US, not the wimpy Europe that made a deliberate choice to deindustrialize itself.
Marco uses the most flowery platitudes to the Great Europe from which the US was born, but at the same time categorically condemns the direction it has been taking. He does it so masterfully that the audience has no choice but to applaud without fully digesting the implications of what he is saying.
The most important part of this speech is when he makes an offer to Europe to join US in becoming sovereign and building themselves up using the American way. those who let this offer go to waste will look back in future with regret.
Yeah, a leftist friend of mine was willing to talk for once. I thought he'd be open, but he just comes up with "Trump went to the Island I know it!"
So I show him the video of Biden touching kids that was on CSPAN a long time ago asking why you guys didn't give a shit when there was literal video evidence of Biden being a pedo, and he just brushed it off with "He's an old man"
These people don't care, they just HATE Trump, it's their entire being. They never cared about the kids.
When Q said "Crimes against children will unite us" ... boy was that wrong.
And he explains the direction they were dreaming of going in. They thought after the Soviet Union fell, the world could unite based on trade only, and eliminate borders. So we opened our borders and they pillaged us. Of course. Were they really that naive?
That makes him a citizen, not a natural born citizen. Natural born citizens' parents must be citizens. Rubio's parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. The qualification for presidency is to be natural born.
The 14th Amendment says anyone born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen at birth.
That does not require U.S.-born parents.
This was affirmed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), where the Supreme Court ruled that a man born in California to Chinese parents was a U.S. citizen at birth.
I believe the "and subject to the jurisdiction" part has yet to be adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme Court. Someone who sneaks in here illegally has specifically rejected being subject,
Overnight in the USA time zones, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a very important speech at the Munich Security Conference [3:00am ET]. The video is below [prompted] and a FULL transcription will soon follow.
This is a critically worded speech that is very important to listen to with great deliberation. Within his remarks Rubio is telling Europe that we want to remain allied in our interests, but we are no longer going to allow the system of “globalism” to destroy our uniquely American life.
The United States is separating from the madness; this is not up for debate. The only question is whether Europe is too far gone, or whether they will join us.
The euphoria that followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall, “led us to a dangerous delusion. That we had entered quote the end of history. That every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood. That the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest, and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly.”
I think you summarized it better. This speech and his remarks at the Charlie Kirk Memorial are two really good ones. I’ve been impressed with Rubio 2.0. Leaving the Senate swamp has been good for him.
This video features a keynote address and Q&A session centered on transatlantic relations, European strategic sovereignty, global security challenges, and U.S. foreign policy priorities under Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The core theme is a call for renewed Western unity—political, military, and economic—based on shared cultural heritage and mutual interest to confront 21st-century threats. The speaker stresses the importance of Europe and the U.S. strengthening their alliance to defend civilization, regain economic independence, and lead on new technological and geopolitical frontiers. He underscores that national security extends beyond defense budgets to defending values, borders, and global influence. The latter part of the video includes reflection on the ongoing Ukraine war’s peace prospects and U.S.-China relations, advocating pragmatic dialogue without compromising core interests.
This video is suitable for policymakers, security analysts, historians, and those interested in transatlantic cooperation, geopolitics, Western cultural identity, and contemporary international challenges. Viewers will gain insight into the U.S. government's perspective on strategic defense, economic renewal, alliance building, and diplomatic engagement with global powers during turbulent times.

great speech, intercultural in a connected world is good, abandoning & destroying heritage & culture to others does not work &is not security - is not part of the program with the USA anymore

You guys still have lefty friends that will discuss politics?
they will usually leave you long before you leave them
I should have said normie - that would have been more apt

Thanks for the summary. On my "to-watch" list.
This is the video put out by the State Department. It is roughly 3 minutes longer. https://youtu.be/yOjBJ89aeXA?si=j0IU7gABFfFGU_Bp
And he explains the direction they were dreaming of going in. They thought after the Soviet Union fell, the world could unite based on trade only, and eliminate borders. So we opened our borders and they pillaged us. Of course. Were they really that naive?
I can see this man being the president one day
According to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, a person must be a "natural-born citizen" to serve as President. He doesn't qualify.
He was born in Miami
That makes him a citizen, not a natural born citizen. Natural born citizens' parents must be citizens. Rubio's parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. The qualification for presidency is to be natural born.
The 14th Amendment says anyone born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen at birth. That does not require U.S.-born parents. This was affirmed in United States v.

Had the same thought.
A very good speech. An American speech.
Lead , follow or , now that the problem in Europe is gotten out of the way , DISAPPEAR. 🤔

Thanks fren, obviously they expressed it far better than I could ever have, but good to know that they took away the same as me from that speech.
I think you summarized it better. This speech and his remarks at the Charlie Kirk Memorial are two really good ones. I’ve been impressed with Rubio 2.0. Leaving the Senate swamp has been good for him.
👌👌👌
We send Marco Rubio to Germany, they send (Sandy) AOC.
And Gavin Newscum
Great speech. Someone spent some time on this one.
She was there representing the angry, dried up, immoral, harridan, globalist war-hawk hags.
Pssssst....
Hey Fren.....
You spelled c_nt wrong
Just a smidgen longer than hags ! 🐸
😅
Bunch of dems and a couple Rinos were auditioning with the Globalists to be their 2028 puppet

The message I got from this speech is that if you still worship the hammer and sickle, go buy them and fuck yourself in the face with them.
This speech was incredible.

Thanks for posting this. It's fabulous!
Amazing speech. I was very skeptical of Marco but so far he has been doing great.
Spectacular speech and an oiled dagger through the heart of the Globalist Agenda.
Rubio hit it out of the park with this one for sure.

Amazing speech! BRAVO!!!
Nice!
