Rand Paul asked Rubio what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot. Every US President from Truman onwards is a war criminal.

I never liked the Paul's and their opinions, but I must say that they usually speak according to their principles, rather than make up principles to fit what they want to happen.

To me, that's the distinction between political opponents I can respect, and, well, whatever we're seeing now.

The people of the US mostly wouldn’t like it the people of VZ mostly did and consider Maduro a thug who lost and stayed in power not their president. Ideologies like Paul have trouble with exceptions to their world view.

Ah, the "rules based disorder" on display: we do dis, you no do dis.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

You got this information from American media (or their allies')

In reality, Venezuelans flooded the streets in marches demanding the return of their president.

How many of them?
