This is the speech Europe needed to hear. It was also the speech Rubio needed to give. Good parents see their children grow up and assert their individuality and willingness to take on responsibility and support them. They are proud to watch them graduate into responsible adults. Abusive and narcissistic parents get angry and try to drag the child back into their decaying orbit, complaining that your gain is their pain. There is no we here, only them. Rubio's speech was crystal clear. And this will be the last time the Trump Administration makes this offer to Europe to stop trying to drag us down with them . . . and for them.

Join us into the next age, or wallow in your comfortable misery. That's Europe's choice. We didn't make it for them.
