Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave another outstanding speech at the Munich Security Conference. It shook up the European leadership by reminding them of the dangers of communism. He did this because his grandpa, Pedro Víctor García, a refugee from Castro’s Cuba, taught him well about the dangers of communism.
Rubio referred back to the first Munich Conference.
At the time of that first gathering, Soviet communism was on the march. Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in the balance. At that time, victory was far from certain. But we were driven by a common purpose. We were unified not just by what we were fighting against; we were unified by what we were fighting for. And together, Europe and America prevailed and a continent was rebuilt. Our people prospered. In time, the East and West blocs were reunited. A civilization was once again made whole.
That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it an evil empire, and the East and West became one again. But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, quote, “the end of history;” that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order—an overused term—would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.
This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly.
Ignoring the Chinese threat for the moment (Taiwan probably wishes that I didn’t), there is another and probably greater threat to Western nations. Muslim invaders are establishing a new caliphate across Europe. Pedro Sánchez, the communist Prime Minister of Spain, is granting citizenship to more than a million Muslims in his country. This effectively makes them citizens of Europe under the EU’s open borders policy.
Muslims are not assimilating into any Western country. Sharia law is being implemented in different areas of different countries. Muslim “customs” are being practiced that result in the targeting of non-Muslims in various ways including the raping of non-Muslim women.
Rubio noted:
Mass migration is not, was not, isn’t some fringe concern of little consequence. It was and continues to be a crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies all across the West. Together we can reindustrialize our economies and rebuild our capacity to defend our people.
But the work of this new alliance should not be focused just on military cooperation and reclaiming the industries of the past. It should also be focused on, together, advancing our mutual interests and new frontiers, unshackling our ingenuity, our creativity, and the dynamic spirit to build a new Western century. Commercial space travel and cutting-edge artificial intelligence; industrial automation and flex manufacturing; creating a Western supply chain for critical minerals not vulnerable to extortion from other powers; and a unified effort to compete for market share in the economies of the Global South.
Together we can not only take back control of our own industries and supply—we can prosper in the areas that will define the 21st century.
But we must also gain control of our national borders. Controlling who and how many people enter our countries, this is not an expression of xenophobia. It is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty. And the failure to do so is not just an abdication of one of our most basic duties owed to our people. It is an urgent threat to the fabric of our societies and the survival of our civilization itself.
Rubio is battling white guilt, which communists use to erase our past. He is proud of colonization because it civilized the world. He is proud of America and what it has accomplished. Rubio is proving every day how astute PDJT was in selecting him as Secretary of State.
