War and Foreign Policy

The new “Donroe Doctrine” that is used to justify the US invasion of Venezuela is in line with how the state seizes power and then finds ways to justify actions that are unjustifiable.

The Trump administration wants Americans to believe that this latest intervention into Venezuela was a quick and definitive success. But, given enough time, there is essentially no way this can go well.

The US seeks another puppet regime in South America, and all this talk about democracy, human rights, and noble causes is just cover for the exercise of raw power. But that doesn't stop Trump supporters from pretending it's all about freedom.

Donald Trump’s war against Venezuela is truly a racket, as it looks to be little more than an attempt to loot the nation of Venezuela’s natural resources in the name of “liberation.”

Trump justifies his war on Venezuela by saying that “they” stole “our” oil. Unpacking this claim gives us insight into Trump’s version of crony capitalism.

In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon assesses the “libertarian” foreign policy prescriptions of Murray Rothbard and David Freidman. Naturally, Rothbard’s view—built upon principles of natural law—stands above Freidman’s less-principled “pragmatism.”

The Maidan Massacre of February 2014 supposedly involved Ukrainian government troops tied to President Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian ally, leading to his overthrow. But what if it was a false flag operation done to make people blame the government?
