Rand is picking some strange battles...he’s his father’s son, after all..
Fundamentally, Rand is correct - FDR cut off 80% of Japan’s oil imports and impacted their supply of natural resources through sanctions.
I think this is mis-information and veiled attempt be establishment Republican supporters to hurt Rand’s front-runner status - nothing more, nothing less. Freepers should start reading between the lines as RINOS have learned a lot from Democrat propaganda.
so youd rather another dem?
Rand Paul did not blaim the U.S. for WWII.
He stated, most correctly, that sanctions can lead to uninteded consequences.
Japan’s decision on attacking the U.S. when it did was based almost solely on the effects of the oil embargo placed upon it.
Sanctions are a form of ultimatum and be the party given the ultimatum may not choose the option that we would prefer. That was Rand Paul’s point, and its a valid point.
