Send them a "diplomatic note" back demanding they stop waging war on the Ukrainians.

Reagan, the cold war GOP warrior, is rolling in his grave.  Where have all of the freedom supporting GOPers gone?

  • Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday largely blamed NATO for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  • In a fierce exchange with Blinken, he said Russia attacked because Ukraine was "part of Russia...part of the Soviet Union."
  • "That does not give Russia the right to attack them," Blinken said.

Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday received fierce pushback from Secretary of State Antony Blinken after the Kentucky Republican said that Ukraine was "part of Russia" during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. 

Paul said there was "no justification" for Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, but added "it does not follow that there's no explanation for the invasion." The GOP senator cited Russia's qualms with Kyiv's NATO ambitions, which have not advanced in 14 years, and accused the Biden administration of "beating the drums to admit Ukraine" to the alliance. 

Blinken rejected Paul's suggestion that the administration was "agitating" for Ukraine's NATO membership, stating that the US was "standing up" for the alliance's open door policy and "a basic principle that one country can't dictate to another the choices it makes about with whom it allies." 

Paul then said if Ukraine had been part of NATO when Russia invaded then "US soldiers would be fighting in Ukraine" right now. Blinken fired back, making the case that NATO membership has protected countries from Russian aggression and emphasizing that countries have a right to self-determination.

"If you look at the countries that Russia has attacked over the last years...these were countries that were not part of NATO. It has not attacked NATO countries," the top US diplomat said. 

"You could also argue the countries they've attacked were part of Russia...part of the Soviet Union," Paul responded.

"That does not give Russia the right to attack them," Blinken said.

Hey guys according to Rand Paul, it is perfectly ok for England to bomb the crap out of US, Canada, India and Australia because we were all once part of the English Empire. Spain can also attack any thing from New Orleans west. And Russia can take Alaska. Who knew???

 

DUcking moron.
