Ron Paul: France’s Foreign Policy ‘Invites Retaliation’

Posted by | January 8, 2015 16:00 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


Ron Paul told radio host Steve Malzberg that France’s “bad” foreign policy “invites retaliation.”

Paul made his comments in an interview with NewsmaxTV’s Steve Malzberg, saying he does not “blame” the country of France for the attack, but he does blame on “bad policy that we don’t fully understand.” He added, “It doesn’t justify, but it explains it.”

“This is pretty obscene, when it comes to violence, and libertarians are pretty annoyed by anybody who initiates violence,” Paul said of the attacks, explaining that France has “been a target for many, many years, because they’ve been involved in foreign affairs” in Libya and Algeria.

Citing U.S. wars in the Middle East, drone strikes and sending weapons into Syria, Paul said, “It’s that overall policy which invites retaliation, and they see us as intruders.” He added, “We’ve been conditioned to believe that the only reason 9/11 happened is that we are free and prosperous. I don’t believe that for a minute.”

    Paul is an abject idiot who knows nothing about France’s international attitude. He in no way can reconcile the fact that none of this would be happening if l’il bush had not invaded the mid east – both Afghanistan and Iraq – rather than seriously deal with the people who financed and supported the attack on the two towers – the Saudis! When will the usa admit to this global heinous act and take the responsibility for all the unnecessary deaths?
