Rubio: What You’re Seeing Are Authoritarians Testing America, Testing Freedom

RUBIO: "Now you have authoritarians in charge of some pretty powerful countries like Russia, China and then they have nuclear weapons, places like North Korea, and they’re trying to get them in iran.

And so what you’re seeing here is the number of countries testing freedom.

They view this is their opportunity right now to expand for a lot of different reasons.

Absolutely.

But just know we are not going to have the same options to sanction China him as we’ve had sanction Russia which is reminding us why we need to protect her own economy."
