Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul said Sunday that the United States shares part of the blame in the attack on the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in eastern Ukraine last week, and that theObama administration may try and use the tragedy as an excuse to attack Russia.

I say OBAMA NOT THE U.S.

Was he wearing a Commadore Perry sort of hat when he said this?

Wake me up when Ron Paul admits that Russia is partly to blame for the Malaysia Airlines disaster.

[McGruff]

Obama administration may try and use the tragedy as an excuse to attack Russia.

I'm not going to his website but did he really say that? If so he's lost it again, but I do agree with this point.

Mr. Paul argued that neither Russia nor the separatists in eastern Ukraine have anything to gain by shooting down a plane full of civilians. He did say, however, that “the Ukrainian government has much to gain by pinning the attack on Russia.”

Ron Paul is indeed, along with Pat Buchanan, completely blind to real threats on the international stage. Even Ron’s hero, Thomas Jefferson, took the US to war within weeks of his election to President, but Ron can’t seem to discern the need for aggression at certain times, from his ideological bent against all forms of war making.

His son’s problem is that Rand has the same ideological addiction to “let’s swing open the doors” view of immigration. Rand believes, as Libertarians do, that we should not have borders at all.

Au contraire Pat and Paul are among the few not duped by the war mongers who want to drive the USA into existential wars in the middle east and Russia. The threat to the USA is China not elsewhere.

I'd agree with you 100%, except now there are additional threats such as ISIS created by the arming, training and financing of rebels all over the globe.

"I'd agree with you 100%, except now there are additional threats such as ISIS created by the arming, training and financing of rebels all over the globe. "

I'd wait until ISIS takes over India, China and Russia and other global neighbors before we should worry. Now they are just the latest conjured threat to us.

Nonsense. Obama is a puts who will not stand for America but he did not shoot the plane down any more than Bush flew those planes into the towers.
