Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationās approach to Russia.
Defending Trumpās push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnāt know Russiaās demands.
He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpās refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.
Rubio also compared Trumpās handling of Ukraine to Bidenās approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.
The Republicans are making a real effort to convince themselves that weāre now at war with Eastasia. But it doesnāt seem to work too good: however much theyāre trying to integrate the newthink, their brains are working against decades of anti-Soviet and anti-Russian indoctrination.
