Marco Rubio trolled Iran for spending money on bombs not people and it totally blew up in his face – 17 explosive comebacks
It’s been said that there’s only one thing worse than Donald Trump, and that’s the feeble-minded lickspittles who enable him to get away with it.
Anyway, time now to turn to American secretary of state Marco Rubio, who had a stern word or two for the Iranian regime for spaffing countless billions on its military when it could have been using that money to give their people a better quality of life.
Go, Marco!
State Sec. Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.”

Imagine US providing free health care and subsidized housing instead of wasting trillions of dollars in illegal war around the world.
