September 26, 2014 – In an interview with journalist Abby Martin, host of RT’s Breaking the Set, former Congressman Ron Paul discusses the illegal war in Syria, blowback resulting from interventionist foreign policy action and how the Tea Party was hijacked.
From the interview, Ron Paul said of the war in Syria:
“It’s not legal under international law, which is important but I don’t hang my hat on everything on international law as much as I do on our laws, our Constitution. I would say the whole mess that we’ve been involved in, with the Middle East, has been technically illegal because we’ve initiated war but we haven’t declared war. … As a matter of fact, it’s immoral in a sense that our president wanted to wind these wars down. He was going to finish the war in Iraq, and here he is, expanding it massively.”
