Marco Rubio has given another great speech in which he rejected globalism and reasserted the right of the United States to act in its own best interests. This happened at the Federalist Society this week.
Sometimes it seems like he was born for the role of Secretary of State. His understanding of geopolitics is so intelligent and seemingly natural.
You can tell the speech was a success by the way the liberal media is sneering at it.

Rubio assails international court in speech to conservative legal group
Rubio, who has at times sought to provide an intellectual justification for President Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy, has firmly denied reports he will soon embark on a presidential campaign, but the Federalist Society is an occasional stop for Republican hopefuls.
He has dismissed criticisms that the Trump administration has broken international law by such actions as seizing Venezuelan then-President Nicolas Maduro and striking boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific that it says were carrying drugs.
In his speech, Rubio said the goal of the US-Israeli war against Iran was to prevent Tehran from ever developing a nuclear weapon, which he said was particularly urgent because the Islamic Republic’s “radical Shia clerics” had an “expansionist mentality.”
He contrasted this with the government of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, whom Trump has met three times. “I’m not excusing the terrible things that have happened there,” Rubio said of North Korea. “I’m just saying he (Kim) is not expansionist. He’s not trying to invade Japan or, you know, China or whatever.”
This was one of the best parts of the speech, transcript via Benny Johnson:
“They tell us that we are compelled by a sacred legal obligation to give up our power, to surrender our sovereignty, to submit to the whims of our enemies, to allow our cities to descend into violent anarchy, to welcome in any foreigner from anywhere in the world who arrives at our doorstep without permission, to transform our towns into refugee camps for the entire planet.”
“And beyond our borders, too, they would have us believe that we must allow our rivals to act against us with impunity, that those who flood our country with drugs and crime and death should be met with little more than the occasional and polite complaint.”
“There is nothing, there is nothing in our history or the history of any other great nation that requires us to recognize the authority or legitimacy of any of these ridiculous ideas.”

You can tell that Rubio gets it. Every time he speaks, he shows it.
