BLINKEN: If you look at the countries Russia attacked, these were countries that were not part of NATO
RAND PAUL: You could also argue the countries they've attacked were part of Russia
Rand Paul has tossed away the mask, and is straight-up using Russian talking points right now in the US Senate. Rand went ON RECORD to yell at the US Secretary of State and defended Putin's war of children and civilians by saying "Yeah well some folks would say it belongs to Russia".
Now granted, he is obviously completely wrong. If you open a map (or Google "Ukraine") you would see it is in fact a country, and not Russia. But perhaps that is too much effort (for someone 5 or younger). What are your thoughts?
WRONG!
The conflict is NOT about the entire Ukraine, but the eastern half, which is traditionally Russian and populated by Russian.
And the problem is the Azov Battalion is a bunch or racist fascists who have been murdering ethnic Russians in the Ukraine since 2014.
They have murdered over 14k ethnic Russian.
And these easter provinces, like the Donetsk and Crimea, were part of Russia for over 1000 years.
It was not till 1955 that Khrushchev the Ukrainian, illegally gave them to the Ukraine.
Anyone claiming that Russia does not have a right to the Donetsk, Crimea, and a few other provinces, is totally ignorant.
And as far as the rest of the invasion, Putin is also justified.
The Ukraine has already been found guilty of stealing Russian oil and has refused to pay the fines.
They also violated 1992 treaties by trying to join NATO in order to put nukes on Russia's border.
And it was Zelensky who actually started the war by cutting off negotiations.
You can't do that when you have committed acts of war.
That makes the invasion totally justified.
It is Zelensky and the US who are the criminals in this case.
