{{Cquote|What the [[dishonest]]y that has existed is, that we somehow led people to believe that [[Ukraine]] would be able not just to defeat [[Russia]], but, you know, destroy them, push them all the way back to what the world looked [[Maidan coup|like in 2014]]...Ukraine is being set back a hundred years...Their [[energy]] grid is being wiped out...And you know how many Ukrainians have left Ukraine, living in other countries now?...They may never return.}}

Rubio recognized that [[unipolarity]], having one centre of power in the world, was a temporary phenomenon that has now passed:
{{Cquote|it's not normal for the world to simply have a [[unipolar]] power. That was not – that was an anomaly. It was a product of the end of the [[Cold War]], but eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a [[multipolar]] world, multi-great powers in different parts of the [[planet]].}}
Rubio suggested that the [[hegemon]]ic position of the [[US]] resulted in a weakening of the [[Westphalian system]] based on [[sovereign state]]s, and replaced it with a [[globalist]] system where the US claimed the role of a [[world policeman]]:
{{Cquote|And I think that was lost at the end of the [[Cold War]], because we were the only power in the world, and so we assumed this responsibility of sort of becoming the [[NWO|global government]] in many cases, trying to solve every problem.}}
