"On Wednesday, Senator Lindsey Graham wished Senator Rand Paul a happy birthday. "To Senator (Rand Paul), Happy Birthday!" Graham posted on X. "I hope today is full of family, friends and good cheer." The South Carolina Republican added, "Oh by the way, as a birthday present we have seized yet another oil tanker trying to transport sanctioned Venezuelan oil. I hear Russia isn't too happy." "Next year to celebrate, maybe we can do a golf outing to Venezuela and Cuba!" he added. "Should be good to go by then.""
""Thanks for the B-day greetings (Lindsey Graham)," Paul replied. "Replacing one socialist with another in Venezuela doesn't bode well for golf though. Luxuries like golf flourish only under capitalism." Paul was referring to Venezuela's new interim president, the hardline socialist Delcy Rodriguez, a key ally of the ousted Maduro."
"Paul has long been outspoken against regime-change wars and the need for congressional approval for the U.S. to go to war, and has warned about the long-term, negative, unforeseen effects and results of war. Trump now goes to war without Congress specifically to change regimes and doesn't seem worried about the aftermath. Graham absolutely loves this, and seems almost orgasmic over the prospects of a war in Cuba, which he might get."
Lindsey Graham posted birthday wishes for Rand Paul on X and celebrated recent U.S. actions in Venezuela. Graham noted the seizure of an oil tanker carrying sanctioned Venezuelan oil and suggested a future golf outing to Venezuela and Cuba while taunting Russia. Graham praised Trump's military actions that removed President Nicolas Maduro and sought broader regime change, and advocated similar action in Cuba. Rand Paul thanked Graham but warned that replacing one socialist with another in Venezuela undermines leisure like golf, arguing luxuries flourish under capitalism. Paul has long opposed regime‑change wars and emphasized the need for congressional approval and concern about long‑term consequences.
