1/3 A diplomatic disaster has just unfolded in the heart of Rome. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio flew to Italy with a list of aggressive demands, expecting the European ally to fall in line behind the escalating war in Iran.

@SanderRegter Typical Eurocentric overestimation of your worth as a parking lot for our assets. You all think this is a Trump thing. It's not. The USA is DONE carrying the burden for ungrateful Euros who mistakenly think of themselves as "equals". FAFO as they say.

@droguul @SanderRegter And it’s you septics who will be finding this out. Your European bases are there to protect you and facilitate your warmongering not protect us.

@LessGrumpy @SanderRegter The European bases are to counter western expansion from Russia. Morocco and Asia have plenty of sites happy to host us. Enjoy what is coming.
