Takeaways From Marco Rubio's Speech to the Munich Security Conference
- On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio gave a pro‑colonialist speech at the Munich Security Conference, blaming 'godless communist revolutions' and anti‑colonial uprisings for global decline.
- Rubio urged Europe to `be ready to fight`, pressing allies to share security duties under the US National Security Strategy and signaled far‑right supporters on colonial ambitions.
