Rubio's public broadside against Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday was not a spur-of-the-moment outburst. It was a signal flare. When the US Secretary of State accuses Ukraine's president of lying and casually suggests American weapons could be diverted to the Middle East, he is not freelancing. He is announcing a new reality: in Trump's Washington, Ukraine is no longer a cause to be defended. It is a problem to be managed.

Lesson is don't make deals with the US. Iran has learned that recently as well.
Edit: More like 'make the best deal you can but always expect the US to change the terms on you in the future.
Not very surprising, Rubio sold out on most of what he supposedly stood for the moment he joined this lawless Trump administration.
The USA is the enemy of the EU, right there on the pedestal with Russia a strong second and China third.
Oh, you already said this, no need to repeat yourself :)
I struggle to differentiate between Trump-USA and Russia.
