Rand Paul is single-handedly preventing war with Iran!
Kentucky Senator is the only real peacemaker in Washington.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 13, 2018 - A report citing an unnamed aide to Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump has suggested that the only reason that the FPSA has not become embroiled in military conflict with Iran is because Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) has the president’s ear on foreign policy and is offsetting the parade of war hawk neocons circling Trump.
The report, published by Politico, notes that Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton was a staunch proponent of regime change in Iran, as was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
All three have embraced the neocon position of preventive military action, but now have all stated publicly that the FPSA will not seek regime change in Iran.
The Politico report suggests that this is all due to the work of Senator Paul.
“While Trump tolerates his hawkish advisers,” the [Trump] aide added, “he shares a real bond with Paul. He actually at gut level has the same instincts as Rand Paul.”
The report further notes that “Trump has stopped short of calling for regime change even though Pompeo, Mattis and Bolton support it, aligning with Paul instead, according to a GOP foreign policy expert in frequent contact with the White House.”
The source indicates, “Rand Paul has persuaded the president that we are not for regime change in Iran because adopting that position would instigate another war in the Middle East.”
The source also claims that Paul and Trump share a common enjoyment of poking fun at the war hawks.
“The Kentucky senator and the Commander-in-Chief have bonded over a shared delight in thumbing their noses at experts the president likes to deride as ‘foreign policy eggheads,’ including those who work in his own (regime).” the report states.
Last week Paul led a diplomatic trip to Russia to deliver a letter from Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime.
“It’s gotten so ridiculous that someone has to stand up and say we should try to engage even our adversaries and open up our lines of communication,” said Paul, adding, “If you meet with the Russian ambassador, somehow you’re a traitor.”
There is no doubt that Paul is being favored by Trump on foreign policy, and may even be positioned for a prime role in his regime.
Of course, had Hillary Clinton won the election, she who oversaw the disastrous Libya intervention, this would certainly not have been the case.
It appears that Rand Paul is the only real peacemaker in Washington, fending off a flurry of war hawks all eager to embroil Trump and the FPSA in more military quagmires.
