Marco Rubio says US and Europe 'belong together' but warns of 'dangerous delusion'
"The Secretary of State also criticized western leaders for what he called a "dangerous delusion" of open borders, free trade and punishing energy policies. He also lambasted what he called the "climate cult." He said: "This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly. "We made these mistakes together, and now together, we owe it to our people to face those facts.""
"Rubio's speech veered between stark criticism and jokes about the quality of American beer, and he stressed a commitment to working with "our cherished allies and oldest friends." He said: "We believe that Europe must survive, because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history's constant reminder that ultimately, our destiny is and will always be intertwined with yours.""
Earlier, a Vice President attacked European leaders for censoring free speech and failing to control immigration, heightening transatlantic tensions. The United States affirms cultural and historical ties to Europe while rejecting any international order that would replace nationhood. Western policies of open borders, free trade and punitive energy measures are labeled a "dangerous delusion." Climate policies are denounced as a "climate cult" that ignored human nature and thousands of years of recorded history and imposed substantial costs. There is a stated commitment to cooperate with cherished allies, a call for Europe's survival, and concern over tariff disputes and strategic disagreements.
