Is it as bad as attacking a country without provocation (after tearing up an agreement that was keeping Iran from enriching uranium), and forcing them into this defensive posture everyone knew they’d adopt? Just how “legal” was bombing Iran and threatening to destroy their civilization?

Q: But 10 weeks in, are we any closer to get rid of Iran's nuclear materials?

RUBIO: They no longer have a conventional shield. They have no Navy left. They don't have an Air Force. That's a very substantial achievement. That was the purpose of this. pic.twitter.com/YfMlwGcmOO

And it got us, what? Severely depleted munitions, 80% of our bases in the region damaged or destroyed, and oil at $102 a barrel and rising? Not such a substantial achievement from this side of the ledger.

Q: The average price of gas is $4.50. How long are Americans supposed to accept this? Do you think it will affect Republicans' majorities in the midterms?

RUBIO: I'm not gonna speculate on politics. It's obviously being driven by global events. We're very fortunate that the US… pic.twitter.com/SgzneaPA7Z

Which is rapidly coming to an end. If we’re filling the world’s oil gap, that’s less for us, right?

they sure are- records amounts of oil and refined products left U.S. shores in the last week, and we'll likely set another record this week. U.S. gasoline inventories are already at multi-year seasonal lows- which means prices will face even more upward pressure https://t.co/VILXnvTTkp

The kids in the Oval Office this morning are smarter than this.

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime." pic.twitter.com/LlJcJFYYJG

And the shooters are whisked away and the evidence is destroyed and all attempts at a proper criminal investigation are blocked, and…

Oh, he’s not talking about America, is he?

Tell that to the farmers in my district who are struggling to pay near record-high fertilizer prices. https://t.co/RzyDrmJojy

What country does he think he’s the SOS of? The imaginary land of Trumpistan? And having caused the problem, we’re doing the world a favor by what? Pissing on the fire we started?

Rubio on Iran:

I don't know of any country in the world where there's a bigger difference between the people and the people who run the country. pic.twitter.com/ptGoGsp9Xe

Irony is in the corner, drunk off her ass. It’s a coping mechanism.

Marco Rubio: "Steve and Jared and working on the diplomatic path very hard"

Rubio is too busy playing press secretary this week.

Again, are we sure he’s not talking about America?

Because it sure sounds like he is.

Rubio: A cost needs to be imposed on Iran for what they are doing. Otherwise, if they get away with this without paying a price for it and backing down. You're going to see multiple places around the world where other countries are going to be tempted to do the same. pic.twitter.com/MoBHdLhijl

Defending themselves the only way they know how? Against the pre-eminent military force on the planet? (How’s that working out, by the way?) I’m sure you will see multiple places around the world doing the same, if Trump isn’t reined in by Congress.
