Rubio and EU official had heated exchange on Russia at G7 meeting

"We are doing the best we can to end the war. If you think you can do it better, go ahead. We will step aside". That's pretty audacious seeing how Europe is not even invited to the talks.

Rubio essentially came to the G7 with his hat in hand begging former allies and the EU to help America in its' War efforts. He failed, by the way.

“I’m sick of bailing out Europe” JD Vance on the infamous signal chat idiocy leak. I’m sorry but this is hilarious. The US begging and whining for Europes help. They talked so much shit for so long and look at them now. 

That Rubio who is wearing shoes that are too big for him because he doesn't want to anger daddy? Who cares what he says.

Lavrov needs to go in person next time instead of sending these pawns.

marco came, he begged, he bitched, he left empty handed. bye - you didn’t want our help anyways. ✌🏻 

Still better than the generational trainwreck that was Trump's visit to Davos.

Inviting the Belarusian president to the White House doesn't seem like the Yanks are doing shit all to end the war on Ukraine's terms.

Trump has added a fourth option to the “lead, follow or get out of the way” scenario and that is, to actively obstruct.

The problem is not that the US is not helping Ukraine. What the US does is their business. But the problem is that they're stating that they can't help Ukraine because they don't have the money, when we see that that money can magically appear to help Israel. So the issue is not the money. Again, Americans wanna go help Israel--be my guest. But don't think the rest of the world is naive and will fall for the 'we don't have money' a.k.a. The Wonder Boy Vance mantra.

There’s quite a lot to take away from this when you read between the lines. > “A year has passed and Russia hasn't moved," Kallas told Rubio, according to the sources. "When is your patience going to run out?" >Rubio was visibly annoyed, according to the sources. "We are doing the best we can to end the war. If you think you can do it better, go ahead. We will step aside," he fired back, raising his voice. A simple question that would have required an equally simple diplomatic answer. But Marco raising his voice points to vast inexperience, it also points out the U.S. isn’t diplomatically engaged in the process at all. It’s all performative, because the U.S. has no plan to end the fighting. But this is my favourite part and perhaps the most revealing. >”These meetings are oftentimes about thanking America for the role we played... and appreciation for the mediating role we've tried to play in this war between Russia and Ukraine," Rubio said. No one there screams or raises their voices or says anything negative." Marco denying that there’s any tension at all is obviously bullshit. But it does say that the U.S. behind closed doors is terrified of negative diplomatic press. All Marco does now is suck up to allies after Trump says stupid shit. It also says Marco is incredibly stressed in this job. Diplomacy can get heated but getting angry over nothing paints a funny picture how the U.S. foreign service is internally, which is a panicking mess.

Without knowing anything about the situation, Im sure rubio made us all look stupid, again

Was he late because he had to wear the wrong sized shoes Trunp gave him. Rubio is such a pathetic dude.

Yeah that’s what happens when you represent on the behalf of russia

The Americans can’t be trusted anymore. The eu should draw a line and say f you, we will do it on our own since you gave your country away to Putin. The audicity to say this when they steal eu money for weapons we paid for for Ukraine just to send it over to their clown circus in the Middle East. Pathetic.

There is only one way out of this mess Trump got the world into. Accept the Iran Peace Plan.

Rubio is the dumbest state department leader its ever seen.

Send us Vance next time

Europe have to start realizing no point trusting this useless American goverment and let them loose they troops in Iran and Europe should focus defending and helping Ukraine by producing our own war material and stop buying anything from the US. Why 700 million people should be looking for the protection of about 90 million republicans? What people forget it was America that promissed Ukraine that they would protect them if Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapon which Ukraine did so now where is the American protection? So much for American protection.

Rubio has ALWAYS been a sellout and horrible politician, sad to see he's in this position of power and now pissing off our closest allies.

US is part of the Russian Federation, you know.

It has to be exhausting sitting there listening to representations from the US who are so wildly unserious compared to everyone else. It's like inviting a toddler to a research convention and pretending their presentation is just as useful as the one's from life long scientists.

former superpower asking to get some 'super' in power back from europe.

Aww, muppet ended up walking away after running out of hot air, did he?

hey america are you enjoying being russia's little b****?

Is that a centre parting or lighting? I'm just too distracted.

Oh man that glare on Marco’s head in the thumbnail makes it look like he’s got a middle part. I can’t unsee it. Alfalfa looking mother f*****.

It was about time to call off the US' stupid games.

If they could have a c major summit the week after the G7, that would resolve everything. ... Music geek joke...

I thought Rubio was trying to be the voice of reason of this administration for the war in Ukraine but comments taught me a whole different stor(ies). Unfortunately I don’t see the war in Ukraine ending anytime soon without their support as much as I’d like for 2 reasons: their level of help before 2025 and containing Russia with sanctions.  

Yeah. When Marco f****** Rubio is the face of your country for anything, you done fucked up hard. That little shit got schooled by a high schooler 10 years ago and that was his peak. Now, we're sending the kid literally still sloshing around in his daddy's shoes to do anything of substance? F****** pathetic.

Brexit was one of Putin’s only recent successes. He must be pressuring the Americans now because the UK has woken up to how bad an idea it was and there is a risk of them rejoining.

Maybe they should take him up on his suggestion and kick the USA out of any future talks. Ukraine seems to be getting stronger at the moment and with REAL support from Europe, NATO and the UN minus the USA they could possibly move forward in negotiations better than currently. No one trusts the Kushner, Witkoff, Rubio delegation who appear to be more pro Russia than anything else and are just pushing for a result so that Trump can claim he brought peace. Let’s be honest, they couldn’t do worse!!

Rubio the Dubio(us)

Did it go somewhat like "you can't talk about our bosses like that!"?

It’s the shoes. They make him grumpy.💩

Little Marco: let’s open up the straight, screw Russia

Rubio is a dangerous man who may lead to many avoidable conflict and death. I disagree with him on stepping aside because in the first place. His cult leader said they have most FORMIDABLE MILITARY army in the ENTIRE world. In fact their self-declared 8-time war ender / PEACE LEADER / 5-time military draft DODGDER shared that they WON the war with Iran on FIRST day. So the question is then how could a war simply get dragged on so MANY weeks, with the BEST OF THE BEST military of ALL ages? Possible lie? Possible manipulation? I suggest we investigate his entire cult.

I think it’s important to recognise that USA action has a lot of impact on the rest of the world. Trump’s action has affected billions of lives , of which many has no say / voting power. Thus I think it’s timely for rest of the world to consider their reliance, dependencies , and trust on the USA. Same as investment- start to diversify to other non-USA assets

Just stop inviting the US to these global summits until they had adults back in charge. Even then when they have adults make them sit at the kids table until America cleans up its lead brained idiot problem.

Hope he was wearing his big man shoes

Can someone good at computer stuff post a side-by-side image of Rubio here with Crispin Glover from Charlie’s Angels? 😆

If the Iran situation didn't go down, I'm pretty sure we all saw the writing on the wall already with respect to the current U.S administration and it's sentiments towards Ukraine. But now the Iran war is up and the U.S is kind of fighting to save face in a situation that has defaced it entirely and kind of made it look very incompetent and lacking all strategic thinking. There's not going to be any further positive input from the U.S on Ukraine - even if they wanted to. Think we can make peace with that at this point. The U.S is going to take a very long time to get it's head out of this hornets' nest. And it's going to get ugly...very, very ugly....

Rubio is such a rube

Can anyone post the article? I don't want to sign up just to read it.

Rubio is going to have heated exchanges with everyone he meets because Trump’s foreign policy agenda belongs in the trash 👍🏽

Spineless freak working as the goon of a man who defiled his name and reputation when they ran for the same office years ago urges European leaders to also be spineless freaks towards Putin's Russia.

Well is EU doing its part to reduce its energy dependence on Russia?

'heated exchange' is kinda overselling it. I'd expect Kaja walkout in tears. Sorry EU, you need a better candidate to handle Rubio. Strongly worded statements don't cut it anymore
