What will a Marco Rubio-led State Department Look Like?
It came as no surprise that Donald Trump couldn’t make good on his boast to end Russia’s war in Ukraine on his first day back in the White House.
“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled,” Trump proclaimed last spring and reiterated often on the campaign trail.
Then-candidate Trump’s absurd promise of supernatural resolution powers roused fears that he would end the conflict by sacrificing Ukraine to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s expansionist ambitions. Candidate Trump’s pressure on Congress to withhold vital U.S. defense aid to Ukraine a year ago seemed to signal his intent to abandon Ukraine, an aspiring democracy that has been independent since the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union.
But newly inaugurated President Trump’s nominees for the top foreign policy and security positions have been downplaying the prospects for a swift end to the war – equitable or expeditious — any time soon. And the proposed envoys and advisors appear to be pursuing a more even-handed approach to the peace efforts than their Putin-admiring boss had envisioned.

He will get blamed for not making things happen and will be ousted for a dumber, meaner person to act like a jerk in our name.

(228 posts)Little Marco has a very bad habit of not showing up and not liking to travel to DC to vote on the Senate bills.
Including the multiple and important bills for the
disaster relief programs, eg. for the hurricanes bill that destroyed thousands of homes in Florida
What sort of excuses Little Marco will be
providing to the American people when
he is ordered to travel to war zones?
