These people have to be held accountable after the fact when we return to being a nation of law and order
Bro, if that is true, that is the most distopian crazy thing I've ever heard of. Strikes against possibly innocent boats is appalling.
Trumps a war monger
Ty trump
Kentucky please do the country a favor and put an America first candidate in place of Turtle McConnell and Clown Paul.
Trump looking at war from other country
Drug boats are a threat to national security. Only names I care about are the names of thousands of Americans dying from what they're sneaking in.
It's time for left wingers to realize Rand Paul is not your enemy. He is your POLICY OPPONENT. Blaming him for what's going on today is how you prevent a coalition against this president from emerging. Time to grow up.
Hey Rand your as culpable as the orange stain
Bombing people in The Caribean… TRUMP JUST DECLARED WAR on the CARTEL.
Trump ??? The Military did THAT. I DIDNT KNOW OUR MILITARY HAD COWARDS IN IT….GODLESS ACTIONS= WE ARE DOOMED AS A NATION.
Only because that 5.1 billion dollars wasn't a loan and not do they want their hands in it 😂😂😂😂😂
never trust rand he is paid off like diirty bernie — paull is a loser and a liar and paid off – check paul rands bank accounts for being paid by soros — rand sold out rand sucks and rand needs to be sued
Typical lawyer/politician, crawl back in your shell
But it’s ok to send fentanyl to our children. Rand Paul is a traitor
In this situation, where the victims are unidentified and operating illegally on an unmarked vessel, it is highly likely that no state will file a formal complaint. Without a flag state or a national state willing to claim and protect the victims, there is no party with the clear legal standing and political will to pursue the case internationally. The crime would effectively go unprotested at the state-to-state level. So the killing will keep going and only the US military can do actually something to stop the killing s .
Paul can't You ever shut your mouth. Better still, let the fentenol into Your neighborhood and see how You and Your neighbors like it. Are sure your neighbor only hurt your ribs. Are You sure it wasn't your head.
Did Rand Paul speak out against Obama drone strikes killing innocent civilians??
I wonder how many fish , whales, dolphins , ans sea turtles were overdosed and turned to jellyfish.
Rand wants his shipment so now he is a democrat 😂
Real disappointed in you Rand Paul. Your really this stupid. Thank God your not President.
Oh , so we should just make them stop their drug shipment boats , get their names then destroy their boats then bring them to America so they can have due process in our American courts like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan ?
His buddies supplies lines were cut off,no overdose, no patients, no $$.
