I think Rand gets a lot of things wrong when it comes to foreign policy but I will not call him a pro imperialist politician. He is increasingly naive or maybe even obtuse when it comes to Syria and Venezuela which I wanna believe its him playing politics. I really get annoyed whenever I see him getting his facts wrong.
He said in the video that "now Bernie is no longer is favor of increasing taxes on the millionaires now that he has become one, he just wants to tax billionaires". That is me paraphrasing him. But from his website, one can see that he is still in favor of increasing the taxes of everyone making 230k or more. He starts to talk up the empire and that is when he begins to start lying e.g. its a civil war in Syria, socialism is impoverishing the people of Venezuela. All rubbish
