Libertarian icon Ron Paul has accused Donald Trump of betraying his promises to the American electorate by seeking a new conflict with either Iran or North Korea, warning the US president that any such war will put an end to his term.
“President Trump seems to be impatiently racing toward at least one disastrous war. Maybe two. The big question is who will be first? North Korea or Iran?” wrote the 81-year-old former congressman in his weekly column published on the site of his Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.

Ron Paul is right. As usual. I don't see eye to eye with him on nk. That's it tho. U.S. Foreign policy pretty much sucks otherwise. Let's get out of the middle east._
Never been a fan of Paul and I have the history to show for it. But his foreign policy I'll agree with 99% of the time. It's true, this is just another example of how hypocritical this man is. How many threads did we have complaining about Obama upping troops in Afghanistan? Using drones? Libya? None stop. If we're going to scrutinize, it should be done consistently.

We're not 'racing' towards conflict. It's racing towards us, thanks to the lackadaisical passivity of the former administration.

Nice spin but not entirely correct.
You can't pour gasoline on a fire and blame the person that lit the fire for your burns.
Exactly...Obama gave Iran 150 billion American dollars which Iran will use against us...Now Trump has to deal with it and if you are a snowflake, it's all Trump's fault...

Nope, but you sure can stomp that fire out....

They have shot missles right off our coast. They almost hit a passenger plane.

Well it's from Ron Paul, and the source is Russia

So do you want Trump to pull an Obama like what he did in Iraq? Trump was handed this mess and just pulling everyone out would be another ISIS scenario
