The pope agrees with Rand Paul about NATO expansion and Russia

The fact that @Pontifex endorsed this theory should come as no surprise. Yet Democrats refused to acknowledge this, despite decades of evidence supporting @RandPaul's claim.

Instead, they vilified anyone who repeated this theory. @cwtremo writes https://t.co/ntocyoZXXL — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) June 19, 2022

The Washington Examiner’s Christopher Tremoglie writes, “Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) received some unexpected company last week in citing NATO expansion as a main reason Russia invaded Ukraine. Pope Francis echoed Paul's earlier sentiment that NATO played a significant role in provoking Russia and shares a large part of the blame. The pontiff declared that Russia's invasion was 'perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented' in an interview with La Civilta Cattolica.

Sen. Paul initially made his comments during an exchange with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a hearing about the crisis in Ukraine. The fact that Pope Francis endorsed this theory as well should come as no surprise. It has been a prominent theory in geopolitics for several decades. Yet Democrats and other left-wingers refused to acknowledge this, despite decades of evidence supporting Paul's claim. Instead, they vilified and attacked Sen. Paul, along with anyone else who repeated this theory.

Paul offered his criticism in April and was accused of being a Putin apologist. Are we to presume now that Pope Francis is also a Putin puppet?”
