"Who did it Took me a while to figure out what was wrong with the headline then I realized they put it on the 3rd person to avoid pointing the finger at evil regime.

"Rubio Surprises Rubio delivered an artful speech with an olive branch to Europe to work together. But he held his ground in defining Europes problems of high energy costs uncontrolled migration and outmoded trade policies. He also underscored Americas role in the world forced upon it by failed global institutions that have not stopped the aggression of Russia or Hamas and done little to curb narco terror regimes like Maduro in Venezuela. The failed European leaders are sticking to their failed strategies but many of them seem to be living on borrowed time as European voters are more and more"
