Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) warned on Fox News Wednesday that the United States is less safe today than when President Obama took office.
"I think on the issues of national security around the world, we are less safe today than we were when President Obama took office," Rubio declared.
America’s security and prosperity is threatened everyday by credible threats around the world. Asian allies of the United States have serious doubts regarding our nation’s capability to counter dictator-led North Korea and the increasingly dangerous Chinese expansionism, he explained.
Russia’s hostility has prompted the NATO alliance to be tested. Missing democratic order has given way to civil unrest in Latin American countries.
Iran, now more than ever, has proved to be one of our country’s biggest foes, with their continuously successful efforts to create nuclear weapons, which the United States has "apparently agreed to allow them…to enrich," Rubio said.
Responsible for the 9-11 terrorist attacks more than a decade ago, Al Qaeda has reemerged since the President took office as a top threat with their expansion to 14 different countries and their repeated efforts to plot attacks against the United States.
Summing up the Obama administration’s foreign policy failures, Rubio said "[Their foreign policy] is based on wishful thinking."
