Anti-imperialism[edit | edit source]
An anti-imperialist, Ron Paul believes in fighting against the global elite's imperialist wars. Paul fights for the end of US oversea military bases, the reduction of the military-industrial complex, and the end of unconditional American support for Israel.[1]
In 2019, the Ron Paul Institute run by Paul endorsed Venezuela and North Korea undue globalist aggression over their socialism and the latter's nuclear energy programs.[3]
