lolol,...Wolf thanks Rand for appearing on his program,....Rand says nothing,..assumes a disgusted expression and removes the microphone from his lapel.
The last thing Wolfe says is Sen Rand Paul remaining silent on this.??? Right after he just gets done giving a five minute interview on it. Dear God how dishonest can they get.
The people who call the shots for American foreign policy have gassed Syrians twice so they could blame it on Assad. They've poisoned 4 people in England so they could blame it on Putin. They murdered Seth Rich because he was leaking info to Wikileaks.
That's just a very short list of their recent activities.
They've left millions of dead in their wake over the past 15 years through their lies.
They're evil. In fact, there needs to be a stronger word than evil to describe them.
and admittedly, Ron Paul brings alot of it on himself. His predictions for financial doom will probably come true but his timeline was too soon. For me personally I liked the values Ron Paul had, his commitment to them and his consistency in supporting them - but he never missed an opportunity to get in front of a camera and make an absolute prediction that just rang hollow after awhile, and quite frankly, people want optimism and hope from a presidential candidate, something Ron and to some extent Rand don't deal in. Trump used that against Rand in the election.
Rand is more politically astute than his father while still trying to deliver on the spirit of his message. Sometimes that means compromise to a base of Paul followers that refuse to consider it, but day in and day out, he pretty much stays true to the message, even when being upstaged by Cruz or Trump. As an astute politician, you can use someone with consistent principles like Rand to your advantedge, and Rand has provided alot of cover for Trump so far when few others would step up.
I'd vote for him if he was the strongest candidate but I absolutely was hoping someone besides Rand would enter into the picture in 2016. Trump did and while Trump was a complete wild card, at the moment I'm very glad that Paul is a Senator and not president.
If President Trump hadn't of declared, my ONLY choice would've been Rand Paul. Had the Republican Party succeeded in shoving Ted Cruz down our throats like it did with Romney in '12, I would've written in Rand Paul's name. Neocons in the Republican Party destroyed Ron Paul's candidacy in '12 when he was the leading GOP candidate in favor of its Obama clone, Romney.
If the Republican Party does not purge neocons from it, it could wither and blow away in a zephyr over the Sahara and I wouldn't care.
Rand Paul is my only choice in '24. Let's pray that neocons aren't able to repeat their massive dupage of '12 when they duped those whom believe they're conservative yet voted neocon. Neocons are liberals masquerading as conservatives. They are not conservative. They are hostile to the US Constitution and maximum individual liberty.
Rand Paul Rocks.
Never, ever give a penny to the Republican Party. Its power brokers will use your money to militate against you. Always give directly to authentic conservative candidates.

Can't disagree with what he says, US foreign policy post WWII has been nothing short of a complete disaster, save for a few instances..
It was intended to be a disaster by the people who set foreign policy.
Bingo!
Your incessant "bingo" is irritating and in this case, still don't agree. I firmly believe a great deal of naivete and political incompetence was at the center of many of our post WWII Foreign Policy decisions, particularly so with the Colonial powers that we thought (in error) of course, that we could make countries in Africa & the Middle East in our image of "self-determination", life, libery & the pursuit of happiness, etc.

Do you really believe that the people who set American foreign policy are stupid and naive enough to think that they could turn the Middle East into Des Moines, Iowa?
Wolf was a punk in that interview and it is clear that Trump, calling out the media for the schit pile that it is, is working and frustrating them bigly.

Yes.
Not all of them but way too many of them. I have met some of them and sat in on some Senate foreign Relations Committee hearings. It is appalling what they don't know and the assumptions many of them hold. My guess is that lower level operatives know better but policy is set by top people who are cross culturally clueless.

Yes. and the evidence is there and LONG before the ME became an issue; enter the "Peace Corps" as an example, where we sallied forth into the third world to tell everyone they could be like us. Then there was our pressuring the Brits for example, when the had the whole ME issue wrapped up in 56 and we pulled the rug out from under them. Then there was Iran in 1954, the list is endless. Oh yeah, the "purple finger" deal in Iraq was classic stupidity.
Jimah Carter went after the Shah of Iran, helped topple him. Now, how did that work out...??
Then Obummer and Hillary backed the Arab Spring overthrow in Egypt. If it wasn't for General el-Sisi stepping in and bringing order to that land, things would be a lot worse today. Then, throw in Libya.
Geo. W's Iraq adventure was better than those but ended up with less than ideal results. Obummer pulled out and let ISIS take over.
Afghanistan is another example of less than an ideal outcome.
Seems everything we touch over there turns out tainted.
You'd think there'd be lessons learned over the decades, but we keep on doing the same stuff, expecting different results.... Isn't that the definition of insanity??
Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
For most of our foreign policy gaffes, I would replace the word stupidity with incompetence.
If it were mere stupidity, by the law of averages, some of their mistakes would operate to our advantage, but this is never the case. All their mistakes operate towards our destruction, and seemingly with great precision.

It's way past time for people to be thinking that America's problems have been caused by ineptitude.
The people who are responsible for America's (and Western Europe's) problems aren't inept.
They're evil,....in the absolute strictest sense of the term.
This^^^, and they have enacted and are following a plan. Yep, there is collusion going on, and the liebtard fire members are part of that collusion to destroy the US, whether they are too stupid to realize it or not.
