War and Foreign Policy

To no one's surprise, governments that interfere with their economies at every turn are at war with each other. Perhaps there is another path to peace.

Rothbard the historian explained so well how the true progressive goal was always to remake America domestically by promoting war.

The states of Europe have more than enough wealth and military potential to deal with a second-rate power like Russia. The American taxpayers, on the other hand, deserve a break from Europe's grifting.

The sanctions against Russia have the potential to spiral into something much larger. Indeed, many governments are using the current conflict as an opportunity to further push "green energy," rearmament, and other big-spending schemes.

Trying to understand the Russian invasion of Ukraine from the exclusive viewpoint of modern Western democracy is to ignore the long history of authoritarian leadership in Russia.

Neutrality limits conflicts instead of escalating them. Neutral states cannot swell their power through war and militarism, or murder and plunder the citizens of other states.

Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop mock the self-awareness of beltway foreign policy experts.

While the battlefield results are mixed, much of the action in the Russia-Ukraine war is happening beyond the warring countries.

From globalization to sanctions, to international institutions like the UN, the US is leading a small global fragment that's little more than NATO and a handful of friends. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the global economy isn't signing on.
