Ron Paul is an American politician.
After trillions spent on Middle East wars, hundreds of billions on Ukraine, a staggering $100 Billion has already been spent by the American people for extra energy costs thanks to the Iran War. President Trump admits that oil prices are high ... implies that they're high because of the Iran war ... and says oil prices will drop precipitously "when we WIN the war with Iran." But haven't we already won the war many, many times already? Watch @RonPaul and @ChrisRossini below:

Trump Calls On Iranian People To Rise Up & Fight? Really? https://t.co/nmDyohczJq
Unwinding the American Empire should be done voluntarily and rationally. Reality should be faced and accepted. But alas, the power centers that benefit from the Empire want to keep their gravy train going as long as possible. Let future generations deal with the eventual fallout. Instead of having our Middle East bases blown up and destroyed, we should have sold them off and brought our troops home without casualties and severe injuries. Instead of kidnapping foreign leaders and trying to steal their oil, we should not have started the Iran war and drained our oil reserves to cover up the results at the pump. Coming generations will not have to wait for the bad consequences of attempting to hang onto Empire. We're feeling them now, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Flashback 2025: Professor Jeffrey Sachs at The Ron Paul Institute Conference in Dulles, VA. The professor's topic was "Rescuing Foreign Policy from One-Man Rule." We're obviously still dealing with this critical problem. Keep in mind that Professor Sachs was speaking before President Trump's debacle in Iran, which began 6 months ago! We're holding our 10th Annual Virginia Conference this Sept. 5th, and would love to have you join us! Get your tickets here: https://t.co/XMP9XXQrNZ
Despite Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's promise of "Economic D-Day" for Iran, China is still importing about the same amount of oil from Iran as it did last year. Without China, the US embargo is just a pipe dream. Also today: Media spin on CIA Chief's Moscow visit and fake Israeli AI think tanks. Watch @DanielLMcAdams & @ChrisRossini below:

A quarter century after the War on Terror was launched, after 9/11, the Trump Administration has removed the Syrian government - headed by a former al-Qaeda leader - and the al-Nusra Front - the local ISIS franchise - from the US Sponsors of Terror List. Twenty-five years, trillions of dollars, and millions of lives later...was it all a charade? Also today...what will Trump name next? And: your TP is about to become scarce again. Watch @DanielLMcAdams & @ChrisRossini below:
Remember the War on Terror? Well al-Qaeda was installed in Syria... And then taken off the terror list. https://t.co/7TqvwtU8Ve

The Wall Street Journal has reported that President Trump was given strong warnings against starting the war with Iran, including from then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. He ignored that advice and instead listened to Israeli and US hawkish urgings to attack. The rest is history. This is why the Constitution requires Congress to declare war.

Finger-Pointing For Trump's Iran Disaster Has Begun We have a Constitution that is supposed to prevent one man from harming our country like this. Perhaps it's time to stop ignoring 'the Supreme Law of the Land.' https://t.co/lyav5zZOwg
Tulsi Was Right On Iran. Trump Ignored Her. https://t.co/upEOcP9p6l
President Trump said we don't need the Strait of Hormuz. Yes we do! Trump says we don't need Canada. Yes we do! Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:

President Trump had a choice, try to save America ... or try to save the Empire. He chose the latter. Now America (and the Empire) are paying dearly for it. A confluence of bad decisions are creating a perfect storm: - $40 Trillion in debt has been crossed. - America has suffered its greatest strategic military defeat in Iran. - America is getting kicked out of the Middle East, instead of leaving voluntarily. - The AI Bubble is the biggest bubble (by far) of them all. All of this should have been avoided. The "Golden Age" is anything but golden. Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:
The late Sen. Lindsey Graham was succeeded by his sister Darlene. Now the media is finding out that she is clueless on foreign policy and the neocons are having a panic attack. But what's wrong with now knowing the intricacies of the Taiwan/China squabble? Also today: Good news - we aren't re-building our Mideast bases. Watch @RonPaul & @DanielLMcAdams below:
