War and Foreign Policy

Ryan and Zachary look at how interest groups have often lobbied for US intervention in foreign wars that in no way benefit the American population overall.

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Tho is joined by Connor O'Keeffe to discuss their thoughts on the conflict between Hamas and Israel and whether Americans have learned any lessons from the War on Terror.

The recent attacks in Israel are a horrific reminder of how lightly guarded civilization is from savagery.

Some free-market advocates are pushing for dollarization in Argentina. But the devastating US sanctions against Panama in 1989 show us how dollarization helps the US exercise more hegemonic power over foreign economies. 

The recent attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians have led to justified outrage. But will Israel's response also kill innocent people? Murray Rothbard has words of wisdom on this subject.

While Hillary Clinton’s call to have Trump supporters “deprogrammed” has been met with snickers, her attitude is in line with most of this country’s governing elites.

Haiti famously won its independence from France during a slave revolt, but being independent has not brought political stability or prosperity. Instead, Haitians struggle to get by in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country.

The US government doesn't just blow money in the US. Indeed, the reach of its wasteful spending spans the globe, and Congress seems incapable of stopping it.

Hamas‘s invasion of Israel happened despite decades of US intervention and spending in favor of Tel Aviv. Yet, this ongoing conflict has nothing at all to do with the safety and security of the United States itself. It's time for the US to get out.

Rothbard warned against the assumption that because democracies are “better” than dictatorships, they are necessarily more peace loving.
