At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech so profound it doubled as family therapy. Declaring the US 'a child of Europe,' Rubio pitched a new 'world order,' which apparently means: 'We might rescue you if you help pay the babysitter.' He warned Europe about Russia's ominous vibes, affirmed America’s willingness to go solo like a rebellious teenager but begged, 'Please don’t make me.' The event unfolded on February 14, a romantic touch no doubt deliberate, as Rubio pleaded for a harmonious partnership with Europe's not-so-willing parents.

Marco Rubio just threw Europe a parental guilt trip: 'We’re your kid, feed us or face a new world order meltdown.'
Calling the US 'a child of Europe' is the diplomatic equivalent of crashing your ex’s dinner party uninvited.
Rubio’s speech basically said, ‘We’ll play nice if you do the dishes first,’ and Europe’s still thinking about it.
