I don’t think anybody (besides the establishment neocons) hate Paul for not wanting to go to war at the drop of a pin, but for his nutjob positions such as not having Israel as an ally and not caring if Iran gets nukes.
“..his nutjob positions such as not having Israel as an ally and not caring if Iran gets nukes.”

Iran’s threat of obtain a nuke is real, and if we cut aid to Israel, we also cut its leash and thus allow Israel its independence to use nukes against Iran. THAT is what will stop the Iranians from obtaining nukes. Because the moment that Israel begins to THINK that possibly Iran has even one nuke.... is the very moment mushroom clouds will immediately appear over Iran and the Iranian Islamic Revolution will be over. And with that Hamas and Hezzbolah will dry up.
And I have no confidence that ANY American President will be attacking Iran with enough firepower to stop Iran from obtaining a nuke.
Anything we do will have to
- not be disproportional
- and be very surgical
- and not effect the environment
- and not hurt any civilians and so on and so forth.
It won’be enough, and then of course we will have to rebuild their sorry ass.
Israel on the other hand will just Nuke ‘em and deal with it later, because they will have no other choice. Win Win.
Thats why I support Pauls total ending of Foreign Aid to Everyone.
