7. Thank you. The refusal to learn the history & repeat the false messaging is the problem

There are certainly those in the region who seek to benefit from keeping the false message going.

Why is Sen Rand Paul still holding up funds for Iro Dome, a system purely designed for safety in that region?
He is, even tho it's been voted on & approved.
Ukraine has also sought to install a similar Iron Dome system in their region for the sake of safety against those who want to harm them.

Considering all that Paul HAS allowed to be funded, who exactly is he aligned with in preventing this Defensive system for that region?
It is a dangerous move on his part that leaves that region vulnerable to those who seek to upend a Democratic govt.
