March 2022 Marco Rubio might have been surprised to learn that a leading figure helping Russia try to achieve its war aims is February 2025 Marco Rubio.

There don't need to be any talks to end the war in #Ukraine. This is so simple. Putin just needs to tell his troops to come home and get off of Ukrainian soil. #Easy
The forces of darkness are massing. We all feel it. Everywhere, evil is filling the void left by apathy. Lies are smothering truth. Shameless men manipulate the stupid. Greed prevails over honor & duty. The weak bow down but you must not! To stop Trump we must show our determination & his weakness.
I think Rubio may have realised a couple of years ago that he's an empty suit's empty suit, and he's in a room with Lavrov to whom he is possibly the least capable diplomatic counterpart he's ever faced.
This is a day of shame for the US. Capitulating to the country who started the war, responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, war crimes and a country who respects zero human rights, diminishes their standing as the leader of the democratic world since WWll.
The thing is that Rubio *knows* exactly what he's doing. He's not some unqualified ideological MAGA techbro lunatic with no experience of the outside world. Sure he justifies it by convincing himself that he can work to make things better from the inside... But he's sold his soul to the devil.
I doubt that. He may know that taking this job means he’d have to sell Trump’s non reality based needs and desires but he’s not diplomatic nor a great negotiator.
Rubio’s past social media record of what he really (?) thinks makes his current prostituting of America on behalf of Putin and Trump even more reprehensible than it would otherwise be. Cc: @atrupar.com
Yeah, and he was in the Senate when they completed their investigation of russian interference of the 2016 election and found clearly that Russia interfered
I can recall him live tweeting during Russia's ill-fated attempt to storm Kyiv, a moment when we were all watching traffic congestion updates on google maps to try to determine where the Russians had reached. Since then he's gone all Lindsey Graham and become a spineless non-entity.
Oh, I think Rubio always knew he might wind up doing a 180 someday. If in 2022 you said, "you'll be on the other side in a few years to get a prestigious job," he would have denied it to your face, but inside he would be thinking, "yeah, probably."
Have to be honest I'm NOT surprised. I'm disgusted and appalled but not surprised. It's been obvious for a long time that Little Marco will do anything for power What's surprising is how many Senate Dems still thought this was the Obama era Marco Rubio
Not only do I remember when he was Serious Thinking Man's Republican™️, but I even remember when he was elected as The Tea Party Senator™️. Dude has a backbone like a Bavarian pretzel. The Zelig of modern politics.
Today's republicans get hard ons for dictators. Craven, greedy and ignorant, but they seem not to understand they are still our adversaries, and that the minute the US is completely isolated from our long term allies, they will do all they can to further destroy us.
Like all of the other traitors in this *administration, Rubio has sold his soul to the devil. I honestly don’t know how they can live with themselves. With blood on their hands, what do their families/ children/ friends think of this horror? It’s hard to believe so many support this amount of evil.

Did these Republican politicians believe anything they had been espousing for the last 20 years?
It was all about power.
Incompetence Leavened With Malignity
The Trump administration’s Ukraine policy is liable to end in disaster.
Note the utter incompetence of the Trump team
