it is necessary to examine the personal financial advantages of this senator for working for Putin. Any delay causes hundreds of lives and gives Putin time to recuperate. This guy is Putin's spy
no help for Ukraine , would meant that $ and USA guaranites are useless… dollar would colapse, and Ammericans would earn 2x less then they earn now
Rand Paul is a Russian asset. John McCain was right in 2017 when he said that Paul was working for Putin.
He ought to have to tell you how much his party spent on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. His party has cost this country more than 60 million, just through sheer stupidity. The dollars spent in Ukraine have been well worth it. How much money does the US, state and local governments lose through huge tax breaks to the rich. That money has also reduced the threat that Putin represents to the rest of the world. As far as his oath of office, he can hold other Republican Senators and House members to their oaths. Shockingly, most not all Republican states cannot brag about any of these issues. One thing everyone would like to see Ran Paul is how well you have kept that oath. It's strange that Russian Oligarchs are allegedly investing in assets through third parties in the US and EU, not one word from the Kentucky Senator. You think as a Senator you might be concerned if people in your country are aiding a foreign power. Or what that foreign power might have a vested interest in your country, that might be your oath to Senator. To preserve, protect and defend. Or you might have some responsibility for enriching a group of individuals that like murdering civilians and toppling democracies.
THANK YOU RAND PAUL. At least we have one Republican in the Senate who understands they are there to represent the CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES
Well done senator
Stop the spending.
Thank you Senator Paul!!!! Rare American politician putting Americans first
This is the only US politician with common sense in the whole American politics !!! 😂😂😂 Keep on doing the good work senator Paul
Completely 100% accurate
US get out of NATO. Americans wake up, we are getting played.
We spent trillion of dollars in last 70 years to prepare for a war with Russia why not spend $40 billion and break the back of Russian military. Money well spent.
Time for Ukraine to start paying for they're weapons
Well said to a war, they have created.
Borrow from China to help Ukraine? I thought Xi was Putins friend…
I believe in helping Ukraine. But we did not help to end Putin, we were just throwing cups of water at a house fire.🤦🏾So disappointed. Each cup of water costing a few billion. When we should of executed a putin ending strategy.
Wow
Rand Paul often act like a hero. We dont need to arm and finance anti-Russian nazi groups in Ukraine. How about focus on USA economy instead?
Thank you Senator Paul. Why every Republican Senator isn't screaming about the same thing is a mystery to me. I wish the best for Ukraine but NOT at the expense of the American taxpayer. They are Europe"s problem, not our. Why should I care a whit about Ukraine's borders when President Trump couldn't get $4 billion out of Congress to build the wall on America's southern border. NATO is encroaching on Russia and Vlad isn't having it.
40 billion dollar, money of USA citizens pump into Ukrainian just for war. Actual need is In sri Lanka were people are dying. But no USA just need to create artificial and proxy war in other countries so they can sell there weapons
RAND PAUL IS NOT A MTF SAINT, PLEASE NOT FORGET THAT, HE DID VOTED AGAINST THE BILL THAT ADDRESSED AMERICANS ISSUES
Rand Paul is trying to turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan
Sen Paul is right Screw Ukraine !!
I agree, tell Putin that the US and NATO won't put Missiles on the Border of Russia, resulting in ending the Ukraine War, save 60 Billion US dollars, kick Biden out-of-office, and use the 60 Billion to put the middle-income-class families back into their houses, instead of enforced to sell their house and be homeless that Biden's "Build Back Better Plan" is doing.
Well, good morning from Ukraine. I may be biased a whiff and yet I doubt not that NATO (including US) will pay more than that for conducting special threat deterrence if it doesn't give enough military support that helps to stop Russia from getting Ukrainian territory, control over Black Sea etc. "40 billions is too much" or "we shall wait a bit" is quite a lazy thinking given we have got the biggest war in Europe since 1945 against the enemy which made US spend 13-digit or 14-digit amount of money, isn't it?
america first! universal healthcare, free college, higher minimum wage, affordable housing, infrastructure reform, criminal justice reform, etc.
You do have to admire rand paul's great contribution to american healthcare by quitting practicing medicine.
So if Putin takes Ukraine, does he CEASE to have nukes??? We need to send this support. Does Paul think that a new USSR doesn't effect America's interest???
I have to agree with him on this one.
Where is all the money going in Ukraine, don't give them any, thank YOU, I THINK THE COMEDIAN IS A CON_ ARTIST
Every country, every city, every person has its culture, its traditions its history.. Stories must be passed on so that people remember, the memory must not be erased, because this is the only way people can learn from the mistakes that were made so that they are not repeated ..Positive experiences must be shared, this is the only way to benefit ALL people..!!!
