Ron Paul Agrees With Putin

Former congressman Ron Paul said on Saturday that Crimea should be able to break away and join Russia, using much the same language Vladimir Putin has. “That is our how our country was started,” he said. “It was the right of self-determination, and voting, and asking and even fighting for it, and seceding." Paul said the U.S. had engineered a coup in Kiev against the Yanukovych government. “Our hands are not clean.” Finally, he called U.S. sanctions against Moscow an "act of war." His son Rand Paul recently said: “If I were president, I wouldn’t let Vladimir Putin get away with it.”
