Macro Rubio Goes Full Colonizer (Or, What a Difference a Week Makes!)
Remember when most of Europe were freaking out about President Trump's obsession with controlling Greenland (and not in a, "I will compensate the Danish" way but more of a, "I'll just take it" way)? Well now that the Trump White House (via Marco Rubio) is setting their colonial and militaristic sights on countries run by Slavs and non-white people , Europe is breathing a sigh of relief: For the "too long, didn't watch" crowd: Nothing says "all is forgiven" like the United States telling Western Europeans that they are not on the imperialist menu.
