I'd say Rand is a bigger interventionist in practice as he seems to not be as unsupportive of our empire and having all our troops out there as Schiff.



Schiff made a statement about how IF Iran had nuclear weapons AND IF they were threatening our national security then we could blow them up as a defense mechanism (the weapons). But he never said Iran had nuclear weapons and he never said that Iran was actually threatening us. It was a statement pandering to Republicans because Schiff was running purely on an economics platform for a Senate seat. He is very much aware of how our military interventionism is tied to economics and would bring up that often when speaking, but still wanted to make sure he had a strong defense platform.



In the sense that Schiff is more interventionist than Ron, I'd say that Scheuer is more interventionist than Schiff. Or at least as much so.
