Marco Rubio is insinuating that the USA needs to change its policy towards Macron and Europe to put Macron in his place over his stance. A regime change is looming perhaps, leveraging on the chaos in France today? Bear in mind that Europe is now under Ursula von der leyen as EU leader, the de facto stooge of the USA, tasked with the job of steering Europe into the gutters.
Ursula von der leyen is reported to be eyeing the job of chief of Nato, to replace the other stooge, Jens Stoltenberg, and is the best case scenario for the USA agenda, if the USA succeeds in putting another pro USA stooge to replace her as EU leader. That would make the setup most ideal for the USA to control the now economically backsliding Europeans like sheep. At least Angela Merkel provided the pushback against the USA in the past, and Macron is not capitulating at present.
What does Marco Rubio mean by asking whether Macron now speaks for all of Europe? Is the USA the only de facto authority to speak for Europe? Macron has more rights to speak for Europe than the USA. In the past, Angela Merkel had done the same for Europe, going against the USA, and can the USA say Merkel wasn't the head of Europe? Every other European leader looked up to Merkel as leader of Europe. Germany was even propping up the economies of the PIGS for years and they knew who called the shots.
Looking at the big picture, Macron, albeit not a strong French leader in the shoes of De Gaulle or Jacques Chirac, is nevertheless the only EU leader that looks at least credible enough to lead Europe. If Rishi Sunak can lead the UK, why can't Macron lead Europe? And that ignites the fear in the USA that when Ursula von der leyen is no more the leader of the EU, the USA is probably getting nervous should Macron next aspire to replace her as leader of the EU, after leaving as Emperor of France. Of course events can change overnight, with a regime change in France, but the USA is nevertheless nervous and paranoid by taking the big risk.
As in the Middle East, the threat of the USA pulling out its military support for Saudi Arabia, including sale of weapons to them, has not rattled the resolve of Mohammed bin Salman, nor mitigate his disdain and distrust of the USA. After all, the USA can pull out its military support for Saudi Arabia, since the Saudis already are sourcing their military weapons from Russia, buying Russian S400 air defence system instead of relying on USA's patriot system that failed to work. Russia is ready to step in should the USA leaves. That would be good riddance. Moreover, recent events have killed for good the myth of a Saudi conflict with Iran and put paid to the need for huge military expenditure by the Saudis in the face of the hyped up Iranian threat.
Therefore, in Europe, even if the USA were to leave Nato and Europe as threatened by Trump, the Europeans have already started their own EU Security Union Alliance among the EU states, an idea ironically, if I remember correctly, was hatched and started by the French. Just connecting the dots tells us why Macron is not in the good books of the USA and why he is being targeted for a regime change. Moreover, the French had repeatedly been agitating for France to leave Nato.

"Every night I ask myself why all countries have to base their trade on the dollar," Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says in a speech at the New Development Bank, also known as the BRICS bank, in Shanghai.
Macron has more than ruffled the feathers of the Neocons in the USA, with his calling for Europe not to act like vassal states and follow the USA into a conflict with China over Taiwan, saying Europe should not engage in a crisis that is not of their own making.
Not only has that stance caused hysteria in the USA, it also clearly antagonised the USA's stooges in Europe as well, particulaly the Germans. China already noticed the apparent split in Europe's top echelons of power. When Macron wanted to follow Olaf Scholz to China months ago, he was flatly brushed aside and denied by Olaf Scholz. That was a big slap on Macron's ego and he is clearly paying Olaf Scholz back in his own coin, which the Chinese are helping him by giving him an emperors welcome which Scholz earlier visit could not match. The unity and solidarity propaganda touted in the EU is a mirage that Russia and China could clearly see by putting two and two together.
Now, as I said earlier, Macron did more than ruffled the feathers of the Neocons in the USA. Macron, in the eyes of analyst and onlookers, is actually joining the de-dollarisation movement by closing many deals in Yuan with China and bypassing the US$. Among the big deals made was China buying more Airbus helicopters and planes and the expansion of Airbus plant in China with more investments. That is a significant development, indicating that even the Europeans are not happy with the US$ hegemony.
Of course the Industrial Giants of EU, ie Germany and France, would not be happy with the USA cannibalising Europe's industrial base by offering subsidies to European manufacturers to shift to the USA. Moreover, selling expensive energy to Europe caused much of the problems now besetting Europe, when Europe could instead still be enjoying cheap Russian energy if not for towing the USA line. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines was the added pain inflicted on the Europeans.
Looks like China is never going to invite Blinken after that cancelled self invited visit. Of course China knows what laundry list Blinken will be bringing, so even if China does not want to meet him, what Blinken will talk about is irrelevancy at best.
Goodness, even the Africans know what the Whites wants to talk about whenever they visit Africa. The same laundry list that they all will use. But it is not going to work anymore.
Blinken is now in Vietnam, trying to coax a country they unloaded millions of tons of bombs, mines, sprayed chemical weapons and used napalm bombs to cripple and disabled innocent Vietnamese. How shameless can the USA be, crawling back to try to mend ties as if nothing happened.
And limping, shuffling Joe is going to announce his bid for a second term. The whole of the USA cannot throw up a more credible candidate other than this dementia tainted dinosaur, who even had difficulty trying to string together a coherent sentence. What a sad joke! And horrors of horrors he is going to run with that same woman with the Dracula laughter. Something is honestly sick with the USA nowadays.
More shameless is that the Vietnamese still inviting him to Hanoi and entertained him like a friend despite the destruction and death of Vietnamese by American bombings. Vietnam lost 30 years of development because of the Americans.
After defeating the Japanese in WW2, Ho Chi Minh thought they could take back their country. The Americans instead, released the French that were imprisoned by the Japanese to rule Vietnam again. That led to 30 years of war against the French and later the Americans.
The shameless Vietnamese have forgotten the crimes the Americans did to their country and people.
The USA is capitalising on Vietnam's South China Sea dispute with China by trying to drive a wedge between them, deperately I would say.
The Vietnamese Government, still communist ideologically, is actually more China leaning, probably having not forgotten the help that China and Russia gave them. Moreover, Vietnam relies heavily on investments from China and also trade with China cannot be discounted. The Chinese market is important for them.
But Vietnamese people from the South especially, with years of living under democratic rule and indoctrination under USA control, are more inclined to favour good relations with the USA, unlike the Vietnamese from the North, and would find it harder to adapt to communist rule.
Moreover, it was with Russian and Chinese help that enabled the North to win against the South, and that may be the reason Vietnamese people from the South still holds a grudge against China. Just my two cents worth.
