Rand Paul is not wrong to note that history might have something to do with how wars happen

Just like his father before him, @RandPaul is getting a lot of hate for pointing out the obvious foreign policy decisions that led up to Ukraine/Russia. When will people learn to listen to them? If we did we'd see a lot fewer wars.@jackhunter74: https://t.co/3cJR8qBxH8

From my latest at BASEDPolitics, “When Sen. Rand Paul questioned Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, Left and neocon Twitter erupted in outrage accusing Paul of using Putin’s talking points and siding with Russia.

Why? Because in an over ten minute exchange with Blinken, in which Paul drove home that Ukraine’s desire to join NATO was a factor in the current conflict (something even Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky admits), Paul also noted that Georgia and Ukraine were former parts of the Soviet Union.

Twitter went mad. You would have thought Paul had joined the Russian army. In spite of Paul repeatedly noting that Russia had no moral justification in invading Ukraine, leftists and neocons made it sound like Paul was driving a Russian tank across Ukraine’s border.

This is what happened to his dad too.”
