RON PAUL: DOWNSIZE ENTIRE MILITARY EMPIRE

“You don’t need hundreds of thousands of troops planning for the next war because nobody’s going to invade us, nobody’s going to attack us,” Paul said. “What I really want is [President Barack Obama] to downsize the foreign policy, because if you stay involved in 140 countries . . . stirring up trouble, and you downsize the military, you run into a problem. So, it’s our intervention that needs downsizing. But I certainly agree that in this day and age, we shouldn’t be building all these weapons.”
