The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : House Chooses New Cold War With Russia
Last week the US House voted overwhelmingly in favor of an anti-Russia
resolution so full of war propaganda that it rivals the rhetoric from
the chilliest era of the Cold War. Ironically, much of the bill condemns
Russia for doing exactly what the US government has been doing for
years in Syria and Ukraine!
For example, one of the reasons to
condemn Russia in the resolution is the claim that Russia is imposing
economic sanctions on Ukraine. But how many rounds of sanctions has the
US government imposed on Russia for much of the past year? I guess
sanctions are only bad when used by countries Washington doesn’t like.
The resolution condemns Russia for selling weapons to the Assad
government in Syria. But the US has been providing weapons to the rebels
in Syria for several years, with many going to terrorist groups like
al-Qaeda and ISIS that the US is currently bombing!
