MUNICH, Feb 14 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a message of ‌unity to Europeans on Saturday, saying Washington does ‌not intend to abandon the transatlantic alliance, but that Europe's leaders ​had made a number of policy mistakes and need to change course.

Rubio's overall message of togetherness at the annual Munich Security Conference was relatively well-received by the gathering ‌of European diplomats and ⁠security officials.

Even as Rubio at times needled European policymakers, his address contrasted sharply with ⁠Vice President JD Vance's address here a year ago, in which he argued that the greatest danger to the ​continent ​came from censorship and democratic ​backsliding - rather than external ‌threats like Russia.

"In a time of headlines heralding the end of the transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that this is neither our goal nor our wish, because for us Americans, our ‌home may be in the western ​hemisphere, but we will always ​be a child ​of Europe," Rubio told the crowd.

3. " ... except when we wish to invade a European ally ... "

“ … then, Europe, you’re on your own”

4. Sounds like something an abuser tells their partner who is getting away from them. nt

7. My thoughts exactly

[BaronChocula]

5. A unified Europe doesn't need a lecture

from a toady representing the administration that cut military aid to a Democratic European nation fighting off a tyrannical aggressor. Fuck lil Marco and his band of angry fascists.

6. Fart noises

8. Sounds like they are finally freaking

At the US bonds sell off. They figured out that ha ha we do need them

I don't think threats are the way to ho though.

9. "A Number Of Policy Mistakes"

That is a very lame statement, as it is not quantified or enumerated. List each policy mistake and why it was a policy mistake. Only then can we move forward. Here, Rubio is talking down to the Europeans, and that is problematic. Being less bombastic than Vance is hardly gratifying.
