Russian media covers Ron Paul in glory and praise as Cold War frosts anew!

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - December 10, 2014 - For years, Russian media have been presenting members of the Fascist Police States of Amerika Congress as a bunch of old, corrupt millionaires who are nothing but Russophobes and poodles on a leash held by global corporations.

For example, Senator John McCain, deploying famous phrases like, “Today we all are Georgians” and “now we all are Ukrainians,” never misses the opportunity to attach the KGB label when he pronounces the word “Putin.” He has become a household name in Russia and a symbol of a Russian-Amerikan “reset” that was never meant to be.

According to Russian media, most congressmen are crazy to the point that one has to be mentally ill even to listen to them.

But there is one good egg, a positive exception. Never mind that he is a former congressman. His name is Ron Paul and he has become a rising political star in Russia. Paul became a darling of the Russians back in March when in his interview by USA Today he declared, “Crimea secedes - so what?” In arguing that “self-determination is a centerpiece of international law,” Paul seemed to hit upon language that rang true to many Russians, writing in his op-ed, “What’s the big deal?”

Nowadays, he gives interviews to RT, and has been quoted by major Russian newspapers and TV channels.

This is all because of Paul’s position on Resolution 758, passed by the House on December 4, which condemns the actions of the Russian Federation toward Georgia and Ukraine starting from the year 2008. The 16-page Resolution that nobody read passed the House with a vote of 411 to 10. The only people who read it were the 10 who voted no.

In his new article, entitled House Chooses New Cold War with Russia, Ron Paul lashes out at Resolution 758, calling it “one of the worst pieces of legislation I can remember,” and “so full of war propaganda that it rivals the rhetoric from the chilliest era of the Cold War.” No wonder Ron Paul enjoys enthusiastic support in Russia.

Last month, Observer columnist Lincoln Mitchell wondered whether Rand Paul’s presidential aspirations would be damaged by his outspoken father’s popularity in Russia.

Mitchell wrote, “It is not altogether insignificant that Ron Paul continues to be active politically, in part as a frequent guest discussing a broad range of policy questions on the network RT (formerly Russia Today).”

In Russia, people love to hear Ron Paul saying that Amerika will go broke supporting sanctions against Russia, just as the Soviet Union went broke fighting a Cold War that it could not afford. Russians lap it up when the former congressman and presidential candidate states that the sanctions will backfire on Europeans, as well as Amerikans.
