flag Senator Paul criticizes Trump’s military strikes on South American vessels, citing lack of evidence, high error rate, and dangerous precedent.

flag Senator Rand Paul condemned President Trump’s military strikes on suspected drug vessels in South American waters, calling them reckless and uncivilized, citing a 25% error rate in U.S. Coast Guard interdictions and questioning the lack of evidence that the targeted boats carried drugs. flag He challenged the justification for using military force without due process, warned of potential civilian casualties, and criticized the claim that each strike saved 25,000 lives as unsubstantiated. flag Paul also questioned the strategic logic, noting the vessels were too far from U.S. shores to pose an immediate threat and argued the actions set a dangerous precedent, especially as Republicans support them while opposing similar actions by Democrats.
