Marco Rubio files bills cracking down on Iran, Russia

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio announced Friday that he is sponsoring a pair of bills to crack down on Iran and Russia.
quote:
The Iran Terror-Free Skies Act would require the executive branch to regularly report to Congress on whether Iran has used civilian planes for military purposes, such as transporting weapons or military personnel, to terrorist groups within its borders or abroad.
“As the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, Iran continues to systematically use its commercial airlines to supply the murderous Assad regime in Syria as well as to Hezbollah and other foreign terrorist organizations,” Rubio said. “If America turns a blind eye to the Iranian terror regime’s efforts to destabilize the Middle East and endanger the lives of innocents worldwide, we risk being complicit.”
quote:
“Russia’s mounting violations of the INF Treaty, including testing and now brazenly deploying ground-launched cruise missiles with intermediate range, pose grave threats to the United States and our European allies,” Rubio said. “This legislation makes clear that Russia will face real consequences if it continues its dangerous and destabilizing behavior.”
The bill includes provisions to build up missile defense and place intermediate range missile systems within allied countries, among other things.

Once again Marco is the only one in Congress or even the US government for that matter who is holding anyone accountable for their actions. Marco already has China backing down on their Hong Kong policies. I cannot wait to see both Iran and Russia back down from their positions as well.

So basically subsidizing the safety of our foreign allies with American tax dollars.
Seems legit.

I will say that its obvious Marco is the first to declare his run in 2020.

I'm really impressed with his drive in 2017... I just wish he hadn't folded like a cheap hooker in the primaries.
If Trump doesn't run in 2020, I hope Rubio can keep this up and run the president race

My people in DC are saying that Trump doesnt even want the job now that he's proven his point. He is setting the table for Marco to run. His dinner the other night was Trump's first hand across the table moment.
