Marco Rubio: Advocating a “go it alone” policy ala George W. Bush. We are painfully aware of how that worked out for America… Indeed, we are still paying the price.

Marco Rubio doesn’t have foreign policy experience. He’s a freshman senator from Florida with experience in the state legislature. It would be a economic disaster not to up hold an agreement between this administration and the Iranians as well as the five other nations involved. Iran has it’s hardliners but even among them after all the political rhetoric they aren’t going to launch a nuclear attack on Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons they would retaliate. It would be a disastrous mistake. There’s no upside. Iran knows the cost of a Nuclear Nuclear state, the up keep of a nuclear weapon and the costs. They have no use for Iran. Not to mention the trade sanctions. Saddam Hussein knew this as well and he was not building a nuclear weapon. Of course we know that the Iraq war was not about nuclear arms.

I have yet to hear this man make any sense of the most pressing issues upon which he has staked a policy position.The fact that anyone considers him “presidential” is patently ludicrous. Latest fiasco occurred when questioning Kerry recently…sounded like an uninformed school boy on a scavenger hunt.

Someone needs to explain to Rubio how sanctions work.

“The United States, although it’s less than ideal, could unilaterally re-impose more crushing and additional sanctions,” Rubio said in an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday. He said he would also “use the standing of the United States on the global stage to try to encourage other nations to do so.”
At which point the other nations on the “global stage” will look at how you just reneged on your country’s word and pulled out of a previously negotiated agreement, stabbing some of you’re country’s closest allies, who had stood by your nation during the negotiations of that agreement, in the back and recognizing you as the untrustworthy weasel you are will tell you to “Fuck off.”

Sure, everyone knows sanctions are more crushing when the rest of the world is ignoring them!

The US has never had significant trade with Iran. Not under the Shah and not under the Ayatollahs. The US has never bought Iranian oil nor sold much to Iran. The only thing from Iran you will find sold in the US are Persian carpets and most of those are antiques which are already in Europe or the US. Effect of US only sanctions = ZERO.
Know-nothing who knows nothing shares his knowledge with the world
well good thing we wont have to worry about that now wil we rubihoe!!
I’m starting to understand why people are interested in what Kim Kardashian has to say. I have no idea of what she thinks, if she does, but it has to be a better use of news space that this clown.
Same constituency, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0
It seems that Rubio has been in bed with Sarah Palin, learning how to go rogue in dismanteling American and International law.
