Anti-war advocate and longtime libertarian thorn in the side of the Republican Party Ron Paul spoke out Friday about the Malaysian jet that was shot down over Ukraine.
His verdict: dont blame Russia.
[Russina President Vladimir] Putin is a little bit smarter than that, the former Texas Congressman told Newsmax on Friday. I dont think he would ever come close to participating in an act like this.
Paul urged caution in assessing the situation.
