“Ron Paul is an idiot, ISIS isn’t trying to conquer Canada for us and being led by us.”

Definitely an idiot, but right on this one. His point is that there is NO UPSIDE to Putin shooting down a passenger jet. The world already knows that Putin (or us, and probably a few dozen other countries) can bring civil aviation to its knees if he wants to...so why do it?

He is an idiot and he is wrong on this one, this is a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and a Russian supplied weapon brought down the aircraft.

ISIS isn’t conducting an invasion of one of our border nations for the US.

Don't think many people are saying that Putin ordered the shoot down of a passenger jet.

If that's his strawman fallacy Paul is wasting our time with, then he really needs to STFU.
