Rubio overhypes leftist threats to establish his MAGA credentials
Rubio has targeted the International Criminal Court (ICC)
Rubio is avoiding tough diplomatic crises like Iran and Russia while focusing on safer targets such as the ICC, Cuba, and “left-wing extremism,” portraying them as exaggerated threats that play well with Trump’s base.
The piece from the Washington Post argues Cuba is weak, leftist violence is comparatively minimal, and Rubio’s moves mainly serve his 2028 ambitions and MAGA credibility rather than real U.S. interests.
