Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Tuesday claimed that Russia has only invaded countries that were once "part of Russia," implying that Ukraine, which is currently under invasion by Russia, might not have the right to self-determine.
Paul's strange remark came this week during a heated exchange with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who dismissed Paul's concerns around letting new countries be admitted into NATO by pointing out that Russia has not attacked countries that are in NATO. Specifically, Blinken cited Russia's intervention in Georgia and Moldova.
