On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan and Tho are joined by Joseph Solis-Mullen of the Libertarian Institute to discuss his new book, The Fake China Threat and Its Very Real Danger.

After an earlier article by Zachary Yost on a call by military “experts” to reinstate the military draft, the authors of the original paper are trying to back off on their original recommendation. But there is no doubt as to what they want the government to do.

President Biden claims that spending money to send weapons and ammunition around the world is good for the US economy.

This latest Middle East conflict is ultimately little more than gang warfare. We oppose it as a matter of principle.

The countries have changed, but the story remains the same. Wealthier countries try to “invest” by lending money to African regimes, where the money disappears. This time, China is the big lender.

US government officials from President Biden to Secretary Yellen think the US can fund endless wars, but the American people are suffering in reality.
