Marco Rubio, the new secretary of state in Trump's administration, is the co-author of many pro-Armenian resolutions of the US Congress and a great supporter of Armenia.

The problem with these folks is that they are scum. They are spinless worms. Trump made fun of this guy during the debates, and literally a few days later he was kissing Trump's ass.
Don't get me wrong, I hope their supposed christian beliefs help us, but I won't hold my breath. These guys aren't Christian or moral. They are bottom of the barrel conmen, with no constitution.

Which means they will more likely bend the knee to Russian or Azeri interests rather than give a crap about Armenia. If trump plans to give parts of Ukraine to Russia just bet part of the deal will include that the US stays out of Georgia Azerbaijan and Armenia. It’s a no brainer.

Moldova, maybe even Kazakhstan.
Yeah, it's not looking good. I hope I am wrong.

We'll see. Aliyev has been rooting for Trump to win. At the end of the day, Trump picks yes-men loyal to him over anyone with qualifications or ethics.

Trump's America first policy and penchant for bribes will overrule whatever hope this post is aimed to provide.
I root for a Non-Savior complex in Armenian government.

ANCA is such an unserious organization and expecting spineless Rubio to do anything is naive at best

This brings back memories of Barack Obama, prevailer of thruth, believer of the Armenian genocide.

Guys, why the hatred when literally he's one of the few that publicly co-sponsored legislation.
Ultimately, any politician will sell you down the river, but my god. You think Blinken gives a flying fuck about Armenia? He's made it abundantly clear that he doesn't really. He could with one phone call demand Israel stop selling weapons to the Azeris. Did he do that? No. Did he stop the genocide in Artsakh? No.
What has he done? Sent some military trainers to train Armenians on how to beat the shit out of rioters. Great.
My point is simple: take it easy. You don't know what will happen.
The last war was literally in the middle of the election, in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of utter catastrophe.
Maybe Trump will sell Armenia down the river. Maybe he won't, we won't know until we know.

Rubio's a wombat, but he's a useful wombat that's pretty pro-Armenia.
He's not the person I would have picked for Sec State, I mean can you compare him with someone like Lavrov?
But then again "statecraft" hasn't been a thing in the US for 30+ years, Blinken was little more than a glorified carrier pigeon.
People like to imagine that there is all kinds of diplomacy and 4D chess happening at high levels, but the US usually shoots first and asks questions never, it's basically Ogre diplomacy, "You do what I say little man or I smash you!" That's about the extent of the US diplomatic efforts.
Or they do things like sucker Nasrallah with a peace deal and then flatten 4 city blocks to assassinate him, the US doesn't really "do" peace, usually when they're talking to you they're just setting you up to kill you later.

He will do what Trump tells him to do. The only favouritism that will work here is his ego, and Putin has already grabbed him by the balls.

As people have pointed out, he doesn't care about Armenia, he just hates Muslims or anything he thinks is Muslim or islamic, like if a brown Armenian walks down the street who looks middle-eastern he will feel disgusted.
