On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the fiscal year 27 State Department budget. His opening statement began in a way that sounded like a defensive response to all of those who are accusing the Trump administration of being deployed on behalf of Israeli interests rather than those of the United States:"And I just want to remind everybody, our foreign policy is one that’s solely focused on the national interest of the United States of America—on the defense of our country, both its military defense and our security, but also our economic security and the vibrancy of our economy, our sovereignty, and our future.”
That didn’t stop the pompous little Marco “Narco” Rubio from going on to say, “We believe that America should lead the world, and I believe that we are and will have a very good story to tell about that…” admitting, “Sometimes in foreign policy, the choices are not between a good choice and a bad choice; it’s between two less-than-ideal choices and you’re trying to figure out which one of these two choices is the one that is best for the United States and least harmful to our interests.
“That said, we remain the world’s sole global superpower—the most powerful country on Earth.”
