Marco Rubio: Putin is a 'gangster' and a 'thug' — and here's how I'd take him on
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) is set to give a speech Friday where he'll present his plans to aggressively confront Russia should he win the 2016 presidential race.
According to excerpts released by his campaign, Rubio will vow to issue visa bans and asset freezes against Russian officials, distribute military hardware to boost Ukraine's fight against Russian-backed separatists, and issue a new round of sanctions.
"We are barreling toward a second Cold War, and strong American leadership is the only force capable of ensuring that peace and security once again prevail," Rubio will say.
"The more our current president fails the test of leadership against Putin, the more important it becomes for our next president to pass it. I will pass this test. Over the last five years, I have consistently spoken out on the need to contain Russian aggression, even when it wasn't popular."
In an "60 Minutes" interview that aired last Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked to react to Rubio's accusation that he's governed as a "gangster."
"How can I be a gangster if I worked for the KGB?" Putin responded, according to CBS' translation. "Come on. That does not correspond to reality."
Rubio is set to double down on that Putin rhetoric in his Friday speech.
"Under my administration, there will be no pleading for meetings with Vladimir Putin. He will be treated as the gangster and thug that he is. And yes, I stand by that phrasing," Rubio says in his prepared remarks.
Putin has repeatedly US foreign policy goals in recent years. Most recently, Russia launched an airstrike campaign in Syria against enemies of President Bashar al-Assad's regime — and evidence suggests that they've targeted US-backed rebel forces more than fighters from the Islamic State group (also known as ISIS or ISIL).
"The significance of Russia's recent military activity in Syria cannot be downplayed," Rubio will say. "It is no less noteworthy as a power play than the invasion of Ukraine."
Rubio's upcoming speech fits into his overall campaign-trail strategy of stressing his foreign-policy credentials. Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, often says that the first responsibility of a president is national security and readily contrasts his foreign-policy knowledge with his rivals.

The more our current president fails the test of leadership against Putin, the more important it becomes for our next president to pass it. I will pass this test.
