Vacuous Words of Rubio – Various Commentators

Sirius Report

When listening to this too many Westerners will believe the vacuous words of Rubio whilst the rest of the world will see them for what they truly are.

The US has the audacity to have spent 8 decades destroying the very fabric of the world with its hegemony and now that it stands on the cusp of its empire ending, it wants us to believe that we can trust in the US to drive the world forward in the next 8 decades.

You would have to be incredibly stupid to believe that the US has suddenly grown a conscience and wants to be a benevolent power in the remainder of the 21st century.

T|he level of delusion in Washington remains very strong in certain quarters. There are others who realise that they have to adapt to a world where in the years to come many China’s will co-exist in a world which now refuses to have an hegemonic power and particularly not one who had its chance to be benevolent and instead abused its position in a deplorable manner.

This is insane.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio just gave one of the most explicitly pro-colonialist speeches I have seen in the 21st century.

The US empire wants Europe to help it recolonize the Global South.

Rubio praised Western colonialists for “settl[ing] new continents, build[ing] vast empires extending out across the globe”.

Then Rubio complained about the Global South’s decolonization, portraying it as a sinister communist plot.

Rubio lamented: “The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come”.

Rubio delivered this speech at the Munich Security Conference, surrounded by European leaders, who gave him a standing ovation. They loved the pro-colonialist diatribe.

The US secretary of state insisted that North American and European imperialists should unite in order to reverse “the West’s managed decline”, to revive “the West’s age of dominance”, to “renew the greatest civilization in human history”.

This is a blatant call by the US empire to resuscitate Western colonialism and recolonize the Global South (which represents the Global Majority).

What the US empire did to Gaza, Venezuela, and currently Cuba is what it wants to do to the entire Global South.

Dear Global Majority: if you still entertained any doubts, here it is, out in the open.

Little gusano Rubio – applauded in unison by yappin’ EUro-chihuahuas – calls for Europe to help the Empire of Chaos and Plunder to RE-COLONIZE the Global South.
