Marco Rubio on Calling Putin a Liar: There’s No Point in Signing a Deal ‘That Will Be Violated in Three or Four Months’

‘That’s the point, that’s why the deal has to have enforceable mechanisms’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RUBIO: "Well, that’s the point. That’s why the deal has to have enforceable mechanisms in it. That’s why the deal has to have security guarantees. That’s the point I was making a few minutes ago about looking someone in the eye. What’s important here is actions. Not words and paper documents, those are elements of a deal, but they have to be enforceable. They have to be verifiable and enduring. No point in signing a deal that will violated in three or four months. It would actually make things worse. That’s why this is such a difficult thing. Not only do you need a deal. You need a deal that’s viable, enforceable and enduring. You can have a ceasefire for a few months, a few weeks and more people will die. That’s not the outcome everyone wants and that’s why this is so difficult."
