Rubio Demands Border Security Bill Tied To Ukraine Aid Weeks After Killing Same Bill

Sen. Marco Rubio is still pretending he cares about getting aid to Ukraine. Rubio made an appearance on this weekend's Fox News Sunday and had this exchange with host Shannon Bream:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday offered his prediction for how the Russia-Ukraine war could unfold, arguing neither side will “achieve victory as defined in the most idealistic terms.”

When asked by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream how much “pressure” the U.S. or other international leaders should put on Russia and Ukraine to find a solution, Rubio said, “I’m not going to set parameters on what that looks like. It’s not our place to do that; it’s premature to do that.”

“Here’s what I do know, there is no way that the Russia Federation takes Ukraine, all of Ukraine, half of Ukraine and that was [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s goal from the beginning was to carve it up into half… at least half the country, including Kyiv, that’s not going to happen,” Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees, continued.

Rubio, however, said it is important to look at the “reality” of Ukraine’s size and ability in comparison to Russia.
