Ron Paul: Crimea secedes. So what?

 

Why does the U.S. care which flag will be hoisted on a small piece of land thousands of miles away?

Critics point to the Russian "occupation" of Crimea as evidence that no fair vote could have taken place. Where were these people when an election held in an Iraq occupied by U.S. troops was called a "triumph of democracy"?

Perhaps the U.S. officials who supported the unconstitutional overthrow of Ukraine's government should refocus their energies on learning our own Constitution, which does not allow the U.S. government to overthrow governments overseas or send a billion dollars to bail out Ukraine and its international creditors.

  1. I have to agree with Ron Paul on this - here is a link to Diana West's column yesterday - she is one of the few female analysts out there that seems to get it. What am I missing that would change my mind and say, Yes, let's throw more of our young men into the Fire???
