Senator Rand Paul is now fighting back after being placed on Ukraine’s ‘blacklist’ of what it claims are those involved in ‘Russian Propaganda.’
As The Daily Caller reports:
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, after being blacklisted by the Ukrainian government, told the Daily Caller that his “loyalty” remains with the United States.
Paul was included on a lengthy list of individuals accused by Ukraine of spreading “Russian propaganda.” Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was another notable U.S. lawmaker that made the list. The two have been critical of U.S. aid to Ukraine, with Paul suggesting back in April that President Joe Biden – along with other past presidents – coaxed Russia into invading by pushing Ukraine to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
“While I have repeatedly said my sympathies lie with Ukraine, my loyalty is to the United States,” Paul said. “My oath of office obligates me to defend the United States and that includes defending our country from incurring massive new debt no matter how worthy the cause.”
Paul delayed a $40 billion Ukraine aid package in May, prompting pushback from members of both parties. Paul argued at the time that “we cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy.”
I think I’ve heard just about enough of Ukraine.
Rand Paul is a patriot.
Way too much money is being sent to Ukraine, with weapons, everything and it looks too murky with no type of assurance and checking that everything goes where it should go and why is it, again, that the United States is the one to donate the majority? My sympathy to the people of Ukraine but the government in that country has for over a decade been noted worldwide on the list of largest corruption.
US has been aiding World communism & fascism for a couple hundred years at least. We have been lied to all along.
You are exactly right . also I’m sure that some of that money will make its way to the pockets of these denomic demos .. remember they are never on the side of rightousnes
Don’t worry about the debt because after WWIII goes nuclear there won’t be anybody around to pay it or give a crap. Since all you power hungry, greedy elite will be the only ones left in your fancy bunkers playing with yourself and giving each other BJ’s. You’re all shot in the ass because of climate change which war is heating up at a faster rate. There is NO WINNER, NO MATTER WHAT! Few million years and maybe more intelligent life form will arise and make a go of it. There won’t be any history books to remind people of the FOOLS humans were for nothing. Bunch of rich, power hungry, greedy people with their own dreams to bring the planet to self-destruction. Guess what idiots – YOU LOSE!
I support Senator Rand Paul because we have given an extraordinary amount of money to Ukraine for its defense against the Russian incursion. There are so many other countries who could contribute to Ukraine’s defense. We are not the world’s bank and I think enough is enough. Our national debt is beyond exorbitant and we need to concentrate on our own country for once. Everything is in bad need of help and we can’t afford to spend anymore money. Immigration is out of control. Crime is out of control. Government in general is corrupt and out of control. We need new leadership and we need it now.
You can be for Ukraine and against Putin but STILL want to know WHERE our money is going!
Is it actually going for the war effort or is it going into someone’s Swiss bank account?
I think it’s the latter one
Senator Paul is an American hero period. Ukraine is a cesspool. The United States is responsible for this conflict from the Bio-weapons labs to the color revolutions. We are on the wrong side of this one.
Are you saying that you want Russia to win? We are providing sufficient weapons to keep the war going but not win. Wrong strategy. We need to ensure this war is is ended. And that needs a win.
All Nations Should Be Helping Ukraine ! , To Defeat The Russian Invasion ! . not sit back and worry about there Own Pockets ! . Rand Paul You are a Disgrace to the Human Race ! But hey let Putin win this War , And Sit There As He invades Other Countries. It is People Like You Who Help These War Criminals ! …
I think Rand Paul is correct. Technically we owe Ukraine nothing and the accusations they send are false. Especially since they are still one of the most corrupt countries on the planet and their leader is one of the most corrupt as well.
And the bidums just love it
Ukraine is throwing propaganda against our US senators while the US is buying thrir silence on the Bidens
trump is still my president not biden
Screw them they lash out at us then let them fight there own war and stop sending money and weapons
I am with Rand Paul. The USA comes first!
We still sending tons of money to this shithole country? Another whack at the U.S. by these ignorant people in the Nations daycare!!
Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe! Just ask Hunter and Brandon!
Fascist Ukraine vs Commie Russia. The old Left vs Right diversion invented to demonize Germany in ww2 & justify the so-called Mass murdering Commie Stalin. We actually supported the Chinese Communist against the people of China, just as our government & news media supported N. Vietnam.
Rand Paul is right. What is Ukraine doing with our military equipment? That country is run by a dictator (it’s not a democracy, folks!) There is no accountability after the aid is given to Ukraine. Think about what Biden has done so far. Over 60 billion in aid to the Ukraine on top of the 85 billion top flight military equipment given to the Taliban.
Great going Senator Ron Paul! If it comes down to you or Ukraine, you are my man!
Also thanks for trying to rein in the lefts spending. I think the spending is a problem for our future generations
Thanks again Senator

I’m with senator Paul, back in 2013, John McCain, Amy Klobuchar, Mitch McConnell and seven other senators went to Ukraine to cause unrest against the sitting president who was against joining the European Union. That president was over thrown shortly after and the US started sending aid to the pro European Union crowd and now weapons and aid to push the Russians out. Has everyone forgotten about the Cuban missile conflict, where Russia was putting weapons in Cuba and the U.S. was preparing the largest amphibious invasion since D-day. Super powers don’t like foreigners arming their neighbors in cluding the U. S. Oh ya, the reason that the Russians put weapons in Cuba was because the US had put weapons in Turkey. I wonder how many dead Ukrainians are glad they might belong to the E.U.? The US is definitely the aggressor in this matter, but I guess that is how we feed the industrial war complex and keep Hunter Biden in spending money. Before you start hateing, read your history
Ukraine Has NEVER Been INNOCENT! Have Been One of the Most Corrupt countries! By the way Zelensky(?spelling) IS a B-ACTOR!
he is a true American biden put this guy thats got trillions of taxpayers money to do this
