Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationā€™s approach to Russia.

Defending Trumpā€™s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnā€™t know Russiaā€™s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpā€™s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trumpā€™s handling of Ukraine to Bidenā€™s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

      Itā€™s difficult to estimate because of how much of it is hidden through shell corporations, offshore accounts, or simply under other peopleā€™s names.

      Putin also has incredibly expensive homes, yachts, etc, theyā€™re just under a different entitiesā€™ name

        Thatā€™s s lot of bread. I wonder if it was in any of the leaks by Snowden, Assange etc that got good people branded as terrorists or enemies of states?
