‘Civilized People Don’t Do This!’ Rand Paul Torches Trump’s ‘Insane’ Strikes on Alleged Drug Boats
Mediaite ^ | 10.30.25

Posted on 11/02/2025 5:19:56 PM PST by conservative98

Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted President Donald Trump’s overseas strikes on alleged drug boats “insane” and not something “civilized people” do.

Paul joined Glenn Greenwald on the System Update podcast where he called out Trump and his Republican colleagues over US strikes against alleged drug boats in South American waters.

Paul accused Republicans of supporting actions they would be up in arms over if a Democrat were in office. The senator argued the strikes include no due process and could be leading to the death of innocent people.

If Rand Paul is so much better than Trump as president why didn’t he run for president. And win?

“Civilized people” don’t tackle their neighbors in their yard and break their ribs and puncture their lungs, and yet they do, right Randy?

civilized people do not kill hundreds of thousands of people via smuggling in poison, and when the leader of the country says knock it off, they do.

With known drug smugglers, Shoot first. Ask questions later.

“””The senator argued the strikes include no due process and could be leading to the death of innocent people.”””

An inbred form Kentucky says what?

This kinda reminds me of the time British officials told UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that one of their snipers could take out Hitler.

Chamberlain did not approve of the action, as it would be unsportsmanlike.

We should not be weak, like Mr. Chamberlain was.

If we were to capture one of these drug boats and find it loaded with tons of cocaine and fentanyl, and every person of board is a known drug dealer and sex criminal, already convicted in US courts of past crimes ... Rand Paul would say, "Okay ... that one is fine. But how do you know about the next one????"

We have intel. We know what we're doing. These are terrorists who kill huge numbers of Americans. They all deserve swift death.

Drug smuggling needs to be treated as chemical warfare.

We're living through a Drug War, just like the First and Second Opium Wars that The Crown subjected China to.
