Secretary of State Marco Rubio stunned the world in an amazing speech over the importance of the United States, Western Civilization, and the prevention of its decline while at the Munich Security Conference. The speech was met with mass support from conservatives online, as multiple clips with excerpts from it went viral on social media Saturday. For those concerned about whether or not Europe will prioritize their survival through the 21st century, it truly is a must-watch.

Rubio spoke at length about the necessity of being proud of the collective Western heritage, the mass migration crisis, and the Trump administration’s goal to defend “a great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history.”
