**Former Congressman Ron Paul issued a stark warning about the potential for nuclear war, arguing that the US is risking global destruction for no tangible purpose in its support of Ukraine.** Paul criticized the Biden administration for considering Ukraine’s request to strike deep inside Russia, highlighting the risk of escalating the conflict to a full-scale nuclear war.
Paul draws parallels to the Cuban Missile Crisis, noting that while the US reportedly denied Ukraine’s request, the historical precedent suggests that weapons systems initially denied can eventually be provided to Ukraine. This, he warns, could lead to a disastrous escalation.
“Risking nuclear destruction for no tangible purpose? Have these people gone insane?” Paul questions, emphasizing that even the Pentagon acknowledges the futility of such strikes.
Paul criticizes the ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine, claiming that it does not yield tangible battlefield victories but instead leads to further casualties and profits for US arms manufacturers. He points out that despite billions of dollars in weaponry, Russia is gaining ground, a fact even the pro-war media is starting to acknowledge.
Paul echoes the sentiments of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Donald Trump, Jr., in calling the US’s current approach “madness,” arguing that it risks the future of the nation for no significant national interest. He urges the public to speak out against the “hyper-interventionist” foreign policy and demand a change in direction.
“When will the madness end? When the people speak up and demand a change,” Paul concludes.
