Ron Paul: Syria Has Been in Chaos Ever Since Obama said ‘Assad Must Go’
21st Century Wire says…
Ron Paul told RT that the US shouldn’t engage in ‘death struggle’ over who controls Aleppo.
The former US Congressman and Presidential candidate said that Washington “should not be there [Syria]” at all, despite this being an “unpopular” opinion in political circles, because the intervention contributes to jihadists expanding even further.
“So, I think we are doing the wrong thing,” Paul told RT. “I don’t think it’s good for our national defense. I think it makes us more vulnerable, because it does create more enemies. It’s unpopular to suggest that maybe our presence over there contributes significantly to those who become radical jihadists and would like to do us harm.”

Paul says moreover the US has no “moral authority” to be in Syria and has been violating its own laws.
“It’s not a proper function – we don’t have the moral authority. We haven’t followed our own laws that said that we should not be involved in war and [the] overthrow of governments without a declaration of war,” he said.
