(Steve Watson) “Saying things like you’re going to assassinate him would actually make things worse”
by Steve Watson, March 7th, 2022
Senator Rand Paul has labelled Lindsey Graham’s call for Vladimir Putin to be assassinated as “reckless,” warning that such rhetoric “inflames the situation.”
Appearing on a podcast Friday, Paul was asked about Graham’s comments last week when he questioned if there is “a Brutus in Russia?”who can “do the world a great service” by killing Putin.
“I think if you’re worried about your adversary being irrational, saying things like you’re going to assassinate him would actually make things worse,” Paul urged.
“It’s actually against the U.S. law,” to make such calls, Paul continued.
“U.S. law for a long time has been that we don’t assassinate civilian leaders of other governments,” the Senator added.
“And so, no, just wrong-headed on every notion,” Paul empathised, adding “I think people in elected offices need to realize that their words actually have consequences, and they should actually be careful with what they say.”
Watch:
Paul’s comments come after Ted Cruz labeled Graham’s call “an exceptionally bad idea”:
This is an exceptionally bad idea.
Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves.
But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state. https://t.co/crPGHw9xyJ

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
