The recent murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last month has brought an outpouring of joy from American progressives. Their response is reflective of their hatred for any good or service that is not directly provided by the state.

Despite a recent claim inReason by Paul Schwennesen that a briefly-successful Ukrainian advance somehow translates into an ultimate Ukraine victory. The hard facts of the war tell us something different.

Zachary Yost reviewed John Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato's recent bookHow States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy. While the book is an excellent source of historical reflection, there are grounds to criticize its epistemology on Misesian grounds. 

After promising to end the Ukraine war immediately, and to stay out of Middle East wars, President Trump has instead doubled down on intervening in both conflicts.

Donald Trump says he plans for a big 12% jump in military spending, he has threatened war with Iran, and has escalated the war with the Houthis. None of this has anything to do with defending the United States. 

Ryan and Zachary Yost try to figure out if there is any consistent philosophy that guides Donald Trump's foreign policy.
