The Senator from Kentucky obviously think Putin has a point
I wish I could understand these pro-Russia Republicans, libertarian or otherwise. I would say they just love the idea of powerful nations invading other nations but that doesn’t explain Rand Paul (who opposed the Iraq war) taking the Russia line on Ukraine.
He’s all over the place on foreign policy and always has been. But he is the first in line to argue the Russian point of view when it comes to Ukraine which is just odd. And, needless to say, he takes the position that anything negative that happens in this world is the fault of US policy.
This is, I believe, the ideology (if there is one) of the new right and it’s just as fatuous as the old right which believed the US could do no wrong.
