Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul Placed on List of Russian Propagandists by Ukraine
Newsweek ^ | 7/26/22 AT 4:45 AM EDT | BY GIULIA CARBONARO

Posted on 09/12/2022 10:30:01 AM PDT by RandFan

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard have been listed by Ukraine among a number of American politicians, academics and activists Kyiv claims have promoted "Russian propaganda."

The list was compiled by the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, founded in 2021 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to study the impact of Russian disinformation. The center is part of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council.

The list—which also includes retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, military strategist Edward Luttwak, political scientist John Mearsheimer and journalist Glenn Greenwald—does not explain what the consequences are for those who Ukraine clearly considers responsible for promoting the Kremlin's line. But it offers explanations for inclusion on the list.

In April, Paul said President Joe Biden provoked Russia to invade its neighbor by advocating Ukraine's entrance into NATO.

He also said: "You could also argue the countries they've attacked were part of Russia. Or part of the Soviet Union."

Paul was immediately rebuked for this by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said Russia was not justified in invading Ukraine.

Sen. Paul told Newsweek: "While I have repeatedly said my sympathies lie with Ukraine, my loyalty is to the United States. 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."

It’s “propandandist” to oppose funding a proxy war, but it’s not propagandist to call half the country extremists.

I see now.

Ukraine is corrupt. I am not at all happy that one penny of taxpayer funds has gone to them.

I’m not into COVID shots but maybe rabies shots are needed before one meets with the Ukrainian leader.

Which means 12-15 spam posts on various Ukraine topics, from the front lines just outside of Moscow.

In the meantime, another $40 billion goes out the door and into the laundry.

Ukraine is the 4th most corrupt country in the world. The uniparty sees this a as a good thing since they are corrupt. The uniparty attacks anyone in America that’s not onboard with the fleecing of taxpayers that ultimately enriches Ukrainian oligarchs. Ultimately, the uniparty is getting it’s 10% in return.

My my how things change. Not too many years ago there was a huge contingent of Freepers who hated Rand because he opposed foreign military adventures. Lol. I guess the Zeepers will have to carry the foreign intervention flag now.

Because that’s what “democracies” do.

Ukraine has more in common with Russia than any Western democracy.
