Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State and a bulwark of the Trump administration, gave a “disquieting” imperialist speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday to deflect from the Epstein files fallout.

This sounds like it was written by Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller. He loves all that Nazi imagery.

He probably would love to give that speech himself. He fancies himself a Hitler-style orator, but he never comes off intimidating, like he expects, he always comes off as shrill and whiney, with that sort of entitled arrogance that you know wouldn't survive the first punch.

I'm sure Rubio gave that speech with all the fire of a disposable hand-warmer, and Peewee Himmler is probably pissed that his beautiful oration wasn't delivered properly.
