Ron Paul: Obama’s bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria 'immoral and illegal' ― RT USA

The “whole mess that we’ve been involved in in the Middle East has been technically illegal because we’ve initiated war, but we haven’t declared war,” Paul told Abby Martin in RT’s “Breaking the Set” show.

“I consider what’s going on now, specifically in these last few weeks, totally immoral,” Paul said. “I think it’s illegal under our laws and illegal under international law as well.”

Paul also ventured to suggest that “maybe Israel might even want to help out” in forming some sort of regional coalition to fight IS. He added that Israel, which gets $3 billion in aid annually from the US and has the Middle East’s most modern air force, was "too dependent" on Washington getting involved in the region – and that this was “very harmful to Israel.”

“If they were less dependent on us, I think there would be more natural coalitions built… and they would work with their neighbors a little bit better.”
