Where's Rand Paul and the so-called Libertarians when this shit happens? Not a peep.

@nmarbletoe8210 I never said Rand Paul was a bad guy full-stop. He's right about some things (when it's convenient for him), however, bringing up some video from 2013 doesn't debunk how he's said nothing about Bolivia, a military coup that the US has their hand deep in the cookie jar on. This is something that Paul should rightfully speak up on. Though, it's much worse than Rand Paul not speaking up, I would go as far to say he's partially to blame. Mike Pompeo has been the biggest US factor in this Bolivian conflict so far with direct ties to the Organization of American States, the election audit institution that claimed there were discrepancies/rigging in the first election. Now which US Senator was the deciding vote for the neocon warmonger that is currently working to rip apart Bolivia.

@nmarbletoe8210 I've never really seen any evidence to convince me he's disliked by the Republican Party. He constantly frames his positions as being against big government and the majority of the Republican Party at least pretends like they're against big government (even though they're not), so I never really see much pushback to Rand Paul by other Republican lawmakers or an unwillingness to work with him. If you've seen something I haven't seen (like Republican lawmakers insulting Paul or calling him fringe) then let me know, but I just haven't ever seen it myself. At the end of the day though, he's a team player. He wants more deregulation of the market, he doesn't speak out against South/Central American coups and sanctions, he is the deciding vote for neocon warhawks that end up doing all the things he acts like he's against on foreign policy, and the most important thing he'd rather have a war criminal like Trump as president (trying to get us into several new wars in Iran and Venezuela) than he would have an anti-war president like Bernie Sanders or even in the case of Tulsi where she's even more conservative, he'd still go with Trump. I think this says it all about Rand Paul.

Well if you remember Trump basically ended the truce with Russia that was established at the end of the Cold War so this is not surprising.
