The PC term is non-interventionist.
Rand Paul is stupid...
He’s a stupid isolationist.
precisely.
Paul may or may not be an Isolationist. Whatever. That is the LEAST of his problems.
First and foremost - he is a libertarian. That is reason enough to dismiss him as unsuitable.
I never call Rand “Son Of Elron” Paul an isolationist.
I call him lots of other stuff though.
I can’t repeat it here though... don’t want to be banned.
The USA can never become isolationist, even if it wanted to.
They are already invaded.
Rand has been weak on everything, including Russia and claiming we went into Iraq for Cheney’s ties to “Halliburton”.
“On another Sunday show, ABC’s “This Week,” Cruz said he considers Paul a friend but stands in contrast with the libertarian-leaning senator in one area.
“I don’t agree with him on foreign policy,” he said. “I think U.S. leadership is critical in the world. And I agree with him that we should be very reluctant to deploy military force abroad. But I think there is a vital role, just as Ronald Reagan did.”
As the crisis in Ukraine was unfolding, Paul told The Washington Post last month that Republicans are too often trying to “tweak Russia.”
“Some on our side are so stuck in the Cold War era, they want to tweak Russia all the time, and I don’t think that’s a good idea,” he said.”
“Rand(like his Daddy) is NOT “isolationist”, he IS however(like Daddy) a First Class “Libertarian” COWARD and a REAL Flake!
Next we'll hear that the journalists beheaded by Islamist Muslims are only doing so because we've (the U.S. ) have killed Muslims in the Caliphate!
The Paul's will argue that "Americans chicken's are comin' home to roost!"
Ideally we would be isolationist until attacked then go over kill off all their adult males and salt their land...
Do you know what that would have resulted in against the USSR?
Us being Russian now.
RE: Ideally we would be isolationist until attacked
The question is this — does Isolationism entail NO US presence ( not even infidel businesses ) on their lands?
If the answer is ‘yes’, then we should also withdraw all of our oil and shipping companies from the Levant.
Note use of word ideally... we don’t live in an ideal world.
Sure, ideally we wouldn’t need to defend our nation, and ideally if we ever did, and then murdered all that nation’s adult males and salted the earth for the remaining women and children, we wouldn’t become enemy number one to the entire world, a monster to be defeated at all costs, and go to hell.
What libertarians really are...soft liberals.
Last I read, he said he was running to the left of Hillary which is ok by me if its ok bayou.
‘No Paul’s for me today, thanks.’
