Montenegro's Bid to Join NATO Advances With US Senate Vote

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is one of two senators that do not support Montenegro's membership in NATO.
... The vote in the U.S. Senate was blocked for months by two Republican senators, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, who oppose expanding the military alliance.

Admitting Montenegro to NATO will do nothing to advance our national security, and will do everything to simply add another small country to the welfare wagon of NATO.

Right on Sen Paul. Right on.

Montenegro is a corrupt shithole like the rest of that area. We have much better things to do than bother with that mess.
