Rubio tries to sink it.
He absolutely made that call to Coons and to King, Mike Rounds.
Where were they?
They were at some... They were at the Halifax Security Conference.
And they're freaking out and hopping mad.
So he gets on the phone with his former Senate colleagues.
He's like, listen...
This thing is Fugazi.
It's a Russian wish list.
It's not our official policy.
I'm going to Geneva to kind of sort this out.
And I mean, I've met Angus King.
This is a very smart, savvy guy.
He's not going to mishear or misinterpret what Marco Rubio said, right?
The other ones I can't vouch for.
But the fact that they're all there saying the same thing, and none of them has disavowed
what he told them, even though Marco then tweeted, oh, this is a US plan and all this.
So, you know, he's very carefully trying to blow this thing up.
Now, why was the deadline set as Thanksgiving?
I mean, again, 40 years of Europe and its security architecture, that's all going to be done and dusted in six days.
