Ron Paul and a New Libertarian Rift Over Ukraine

Early this morning, the president of the libertarian group Students for Liberty co-wrote an op-ed critical of Ron Paul’s response to the Crimea incursion. Alexander McCobin (whom I worked with briefly when I was at Reason magazine) told readers of the Panam Post that “former Congressman Ron Paul, whose views are interpreted by many as wholly representative of the libertarian movement, gets it wrong when he speaks of Crimea’s right to secede.”
