On substance, Senator Paul’s antipathy for American international engagement, and for just about any aspect of the 43's war on terror, is so strong that he:Pic - "Great Satan Haters are soooo 2004"
(1) was among only 18 senators (and only four Republicans) who refused to sign a letter demanding strong terms for any agreement with Iran on its nuclear program;
(2) suggested that a nuclear-armed Iran could be accepted and “contained”;
(3) actually compared the remarkably humane American facility for terrorists at Guantanamo Bay to the American mistreatment of blacks and Japanese;
(4) argued against “tweaking” Vladimir Putin and said that Ukraine is rightly within Russia’s sphere of influence, just when Putin was beginning to threaten Crimea — in effect, giving Putin a green light;
(5) later, was one of only two senators to vote against sanctions to punish Russia for its aggression;
(6) denied that Great Satan is in any way a “battlefield” for terrorists; and
(7) hinted that years of aid to Egypt were wasted (as if decades of peace in the Sinai were immaterial).
And this is not even counting the senator’s long-standing advocacy for an ever-leaner Pentagon, even though the Defense Department already has borne the brunt of Obama-era budget cuts. Senator Paul’s dovishness seems to know no bounds.
