We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong.
We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida.
We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!… pic.twitter.com/CMb4m1aUF1

Rand Paul: I support America First. I support the idea that when we’re $2T in the haul, we shouldn’t be sending $20B to Argentina. We don’t have it. It’s borrowed. That’s not America First. That’s Argentina First. pic.twitter.com/8gL497B9pk

Time for a wake up call-we keep going in circles and getting nowhere.
Sen. Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there’s none being made… These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times… We don’t just summarily execute people.

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has accused the US of “fabricating a new war”, after it ordered the world’s largest warship to be sent to the Caribbean.
The USS Gerald R Ford can carry up to 90 aircraft and its deployment marks a massive increase in US firepower in the region.
The US has conducted 10 air strikes on vessels in the area as part of what it says is a war on drug traffickers.
US President Donald Trump has accused Maduro of being the leader of a drug-trafficking organisation, which he denies, and there are fears in Venezuela that the US military build-up is aimed at removing the long-time opponent of Trump from power.
