Marco Rubio's Speech in Greece Emphasizes Western Civilization and 'America First'
First report 19h agoLast update 7h agoRubio's speech is seen as a call to defend Western civilization, its values, and to prioritize national interests, linking it to ancient Greek heritage.
Some argue that Greece was historically not part of 'Western civilization' as defined by Rubio, suggesting its cultural ties are closer to the East.
The defense of the 'Western order' is viewed critically, with claims that it contradicts international law and free speech through US actions.
