While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Marco A. Rubio, Esq., de facto secretary of state, in an interview on the American Broadcasting Company’s morning news show Good Morning America, says,
Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran. You’d have a much different country. So we are always hopeful that that would exist over there.
NOTES:
- The U.s. spends 3.4% of its gross domestic product on foreign military aggression whereas the Islamic Republic of Iran spends only 2.0%. In absolute terms the U.s. spends more than one-hundred times that of Iran.
- As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Rubio was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
