Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and the Wyoming Rip. Liz Cheney exchanged warm words on Thursday, after a ટર 40- અ 40 billion defense bill was passed by the senator over the language, which could delay the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
Paul opposes a provision that would limit the president’s ability to withdraw troops deployed abroad, arguing in the bill that “5 535 commanders become president.” Tendulkar, the senator, targeted Chennai during a lengthy speech on the floor of the Senate, in which he was accused by the chairman of the House Republican Conference of supporting the executive branch to start a military conflict but would not back down.
“Neoconservative philosophy is not so much about unity executives, not so much about an omnipotent commander-in-chief,” Paul said. “The philosophy of these people is about war and strong war and it ensures that war happens and is an eternal war.”
The House voted veto-proof 5 335-78 votes earlier this week to approve the defense spending bill. President Trump has vowed to reject any bill that arrives at his desk if it does not include repealing Article 230, a provision that protects social media platforms from being held accountable for third-party posts.
Cheney, the proponent of the anti-Paul provision, tore up the senator on Twitter for holding the senator’s vote.
“Randapoul is currently on the path to #DNAA blaming the United States, and hundreds of our service members and their families are being delayed in performing dangerous duties,” Chenny wrote. “Unforgivable. However, Rand and I have one thing in common. We are both 5’2 “tall.”

Some leading Republicans oppose troop reductions, arguing that rapid withdrawals could have consequences for U.S. interests in the region.
