Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rubio sidestepped a question about whether Washington needed to own territory within NATO to defend it, instead pointing to ongoing talks with Denmark and Greenland over the island's role in collective defense. "We are actually involved in conversations with Greenland and Denmark on the use of Greenland for collective defense for all of us," Rubio said. Calling the island a key element of missile defense, he added: "I think we're in a good place on it now" and he predicted "pretty good news" could emerge from the talks. ...

Rubio has been poisoned by the Trump KoolAid. He's a MAGA-cult zombie.

#13- he's doing what he has to in order to survive politically. The only other option is unemployment and probably a huge downgrade in lifestyle, just like with anyone else doesn't toe the party line. Most of them probably know how messed up it is but take a pragmatic "it is what it is" attitude towards it.

Politicians have always been like this, going back to the Roman Republic and its predecessors.

Swastika Boi...
This Administration has Waged Aggressive War with Perfidious Assassinations.
Murder and Piracy on the high Seas.
Kidnapped a Foreign Head of State on total BS "Charges" it has No Jurisdiction Over.
Nazi like War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity.
The Noose is what Trump and Rubio "should" be worried about.
As Aggressive War Criminals.
Not their "Lifestyles".

You already know I'm not a fan of this admin. The people enabling it already know what they're getting into, even if they believe they are trying to mitigate it. You probably don't believe that Rubio is a brainwashed zombie either, since you recognize he has his own agency.
