Rand Paul said something shocking about Ukraine and he might want to stay off Twitter today
Senator Rand Paul is being widely condemned for remarks he made Tuesday during a Senate hearing with Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The comments have been blasted as “propaganda” for Russian President Vladimir Putin.Emphasizing his opposition to Ukraine becoming part of NATO, Paul argued that U.S.
soldiers would be “fighting in Ukraine” if the country joined. He called the scenario “something I very much oppose.”“If you look at the countries that Russia has attacked,” Blinken told Paul, “over the last years: Georgia…Moldova, and then repeatedly in Ukraine, these are countries that were not part of NATO.
It has not attacked NATO countries for probably very good reasons.”BLINKEN: If you look at the countries Russia attacked, these were countries that were not part of NATORAND PAUL: You could also argue the countries they’ve attacked were part of RussiaBLINKEN: I firmly disagree.
