In a recent\u00a0interview with\u00a0The Corbett Report<\/em><\/a>, the\u00a0Ron Paul Institute<\/em>\u2019s Daniel McAdams spoke disdainfully of those ostensibly anti-interventionist libertarians who picked this moment of all times to loudly and aggressively condemn Venezuela\u2019s president Maduro, just as the US power establishment is ramping up its campaign to topple the Venezuelan government.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of a sudden now there are millions of Venezuela experts in America, and many of them could not point Venezuela out on a map five days ago,\u201d McAdams\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cAnd everyone has to have this disclaimer, \u2018Well, I know it\u2019s probably worse than North Korea, but the US government shouldn\u2019t get involved.\u2019 It\u2019s cowardice, because once the war starts, they can say \u2018Hey I never called for US intervention!\u2019 No, but you\u2019re a conveyor belt for propaganda. You\u2019re a conveyor belt to get the machine ginned up for war. And so you\u2019ve got to stand up and take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
