Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Putin signaled his big invasion of Ukraine well in advance.
The failure of the United States and the EU to put their feet down before he went in was a catastrophic mistake as we are witnessing.
Then to limit what type of weaponry Ukraine could use was another slap in the face.
