Ron Paul: Obama Has Started ‘Immoral and Illegal’ War in Iraq and Syria

Obama’s new wars in Iraq and Syria are totally immoral as well as illegal under US and international law, Ron Paul told RT’s Abby Martin yesterday. The idea that US force will solve the problem is also mistaken, he said. “US action will increase the violence,” rather than reduce it, he added.

Said Dr. Paul about US involvement in the war against ISIS:

“Why should someone 6,000 miles away, that has been stirring this pot for so long, be the group that is going to bring everyone together and organize the fight?”

The fearmongers who have terrified many Americans into supporting another war in the Middle East are “not concerned with the defense of America,” said Ron Paul. But the weapons manufacturers are making out very well, with the US bombing its own weapons that have fallen into the hands of ISIS.
