I think this is an apt description for Senator Paul as he seems to be more interested in advancing the interests of the Kremlin than the interests of Kentucky.
He certainly demonstrated that in his line of questioning of Secretary of State Antony Blinken before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today. Paul blamed Russia's invasion of Ukraine on NATO which is music to Vladimir Putin's ears.
When Blinken told Paul that Russia had not invaded countries who were members of NATO, Paul shot back, "You could also argue the countries they've attacked were part of Russia...part of the Soviet Union."
If Ronald Reagan were alive to hear Rand Paul talk this way.....
Of course, this is hardly new behavior from Paul. It was five years ago when Paul was trying to thwart Montenegro's application to join NATO. The late John McCain quipped, "The senator for Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin."
Evidently he still is. And so are a lot of other Republicans.
