Neoconservative Marco Rubio is an interventionist on steroids. From his speech yesterday:
I always start by reminding people that what happens all over the world is our business. Every aspect of our lives is directly impacted by global events. The security of our cities is connected to the security of small hamlets in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Our cost of living, the safety of our food , and the value of the things we invent, make and sell are just a few examples of everyday aspects of our lives that are directly related to events abroad and make it impossible for us to focus only on our issues here are home.
Yes, let’s spend a trillion dollars nation building in Somalia so that they can have cable TV and everyone of them can buy (from all the aid we give them) a pair of Nike Air Jordans! With unrealistic objectives like Rubio outlines it will only be a short matter of time before the US collapses from its invade-the-world/invite-the-world debt.
