Video coming in of #MaduroRegime shock troops have forcibly taken over the National Assembly building & are blocking opposition lawmakers from entering the building for todays vote. Inside they are attempted a sham vote to elect a new Speaker. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

In #Venezuela credible reports indicate #MaduroRegime has stormed the National Assembly building, are preventing opposition lawmakers from entering & have arrested various opposition lawmakers to prevent todays vote to re-elect @jguaido as Speaker. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to reports that Kurdish & Sunni blocs denied quorum needed for today’s Shia vote to be binding, it’s not even clear if bilateral Strategic Framework Agreement (which governs our presence in #Iraq) gives an acting PM like Mahdi the authority to expel U.S. forces. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Important information under reported in Western media about “vote” to expel US from #Iraq Appears Kurdish & Sunni blocs in parliament boycotted the session. If true it doesn’t just reveal sectarian divide over U.S. presence, it prevents quorum needed for vote to be binding. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Understand that at some point proxies under #Soleimani’s control we’re going to kill lots of U.S. troops. Then we would respond forcefully & #Iraq Shia politicians would condemn us same as now. If either way end up with same reaction I’ll take option without the dead Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Vote today by #Iraq govt & statements from lame duck PM of Iraq is no surprise. Below I am RT what I said 15 months ago back in October of 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Maybe it’s time for a fully independent #Kurdistan in what is currently Northern #Iraq? — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

On @FaceTheNation will discuss: -why striking #Soleimani was justified -how failing to act would lead #Iran to conclude benefit of killing Americans outweigh the costs; and -everything @POTUS is threatening to do would be defensive & retaliatory response to future attacks — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

#Iraq is reconsidering its relationship with the U.S.? A relationship in which we give them $2 billion a year & they privately beg us to stay & help them fight #ISIS & counter-balance #Iran. But they get to publicly condemn us for protecting our troops? https://t.co/Qu8zhKhGS8 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Easy for foreign “leaders” to condemn U.S. strike,it wasn’t their troops facing imminent attack And easy for media to say no proof that these threats were different,because its highly classified intelligence that can’t be disclosed without putting sources & methods used at risk — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Bottom line. What should a President do if he/she is presented with CLEAR intelligence than an enemy is about to carry out an attack that would kill hundreds of American troops? I know what I want him/her to do. What @realDonaldTrump did. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

3. Claim that Trump hasn’t explained why this is in our strategic interest is absurd. #Soleimani was in Iraq to direct attacks that would have killed hundreds of Americans. Saving U.S. lives & preventing the war that would result from their death is a strategic interest. 3/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

2. @realDonaldTrump didn’t take sides between an intolerant Sunni regime in Saudi Arabia & an intolerant Shiite regime in #Iran. He took sides between an intolerant regime trying to kill Americans & destroy #Israel & an intolerant regime that isn’t. 2/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

.@washingtonpost op-ed is wrong on many fronts 1. When @potus took over the threat from #Iran was not “manageable”. They continued work on -long range missiles -rockets to threaten shipping -Quds Force support for terrorist proxy forces 1/4 https://t.co/OXsGRrNXho — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Below see my tweet from 8 months ago in May of 2019 The speculation about timing of strike on Soleimani is ridiculous The U.S. made very clear to #Iran MONTHS AGO of what would happen if a single American was killed in one of their attacks They chose to ignore those warnings https://t.co/i5hZHNXqYe — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Recent strike triggered a fresh debate in Congress about War Powers? Why? @potus doesn’t need approval from Congress to defend against or prevent imminent attacks against American troops. They are acting as if he is planning an invasion of #Iran. https://t.co/5Y4HErpiun — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Calling people “hawks” & claims of “cheering for war” are lazy & inaccurate. Preventing imminent attacks on Americans isn’t “hawkish” it’s self defense. And the U.S. isn’t preparing to invade #Iran. But it must & will respond to & if possible prevent attacks against Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

This wasn’t a coup prevention operation to determine governance of Iraq. Soleimani was actively plotting imminent attacks on Americans. But his coup plans are relevant because its end goal was to turn Iraq into a platform for future attacks on Americans. https://t.co/xY8VGDCvgL — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

.@CNNOpinion claims @TedCruz & I are ashamed of & rarely speak about our heritage & humble origins Well,in fact during 16 race many people thought Ted was related to Tom Cruise & that my name was Marc O’Rubio & I was Irish! You can’t slip anything past these brilliant people — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

It is a FACT that #Soleimani spent the last several days traveling the Middle East coordinating imminent attacks by #Iran & its proxies against our troops. The fact that every Democrat running for President would have done nothing about it is reason alone to vote against them. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

It’s apparent some regard an embassy as just some office building. An embassy is the sovereign territory of a nation. Twice in the last 40 years #Iran invaded or attempted to invade the sovereign territory of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org
