War and Foreign Policy

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

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.

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.

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.

As war rages in the Middle East, we are reminded of what Mises wrote in 1949 on warfare and its awful effects.

Americans have been fed the myth that US foreign policy from 1919 to 1941 was isolationist. In reality, US policies destabilized already volatile international relations.
