“I would not be surprised over the next few weeks to see major ISIS operations within Turkey, itself.”
Compare and contrast that to President Obama, who declared that ISIS had been “contained” just a day before one of the worst terror attacks in European history.
Yet another sign that Obama and the Democrats have very little grasp of the threats facing our nation and nations around the world due to ISIS, while Rubio and his fellow Republicans understand the reality of the terror situation.
Rubio appeard on Face the Nation on Sunday to discuss the threat of ISIS, specifically noting that Turkey “faces the greatest threat.”

On Sunday, however, Senator Rubio appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to speak about the implications of Brexit, the importance of NATO, Russia, and the ever-increasing threat of terrorism in the world.
A portion of the interview reads:
Rubio: I think this actually makes NATO more important, apart from the European monetary union and economic union, the issue of NATO needs to be reinvigorated more than ever before.
FTN: Because of the threat from Russia?
Rubio: I think not only because of the threat from Russia, but most certainly because of the threat of radical Islam, now coming across the Mediterranean and into Europe.
