U.S. Senator Marco Rubio appeared on Varney & Co. to discuss concerns about a potential Russian plot targeting the United States and Canada. The conversation centered around reports of Russia's alleged plans to place incendiary devices on planes bound for these countries.
Rubio refrained from providing specific details but expressed certainty about Russia's intentions. "I’m not going to comment on it specifically, other than to say that there’s no doubt that Russia is trying to impose costs on nations that have been helpful to Ukraine and the fight that’s going on there," he stated. He suggested that Russia aims to conduct operations in a manner that is deniable, saying, "Can we create some sabotage opportunity without it being linked back to us? Everyone will know it’s them."
He noted similar activities have already occurred in Europe and warned of possible attempts in America. Rubio concluded by suggesting this behavior indicates a lack of fear towards President Joe Biden: "What I think it’s indicative of is that they are not afraid of Joe Biden."
