    Can Congress Cancel Biden's Endless Wars?

    Can Congress Cancel Biden's Endless Wars?

    Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop look at how the regime's narrative on foreign policy is failing, and how some in Congress are finally standing up to the warfare state. Yet, the regime wants more US wars in Syria, Ukraine, and now even Mexico. And you will pay for it all. Will the voters demand a more sane foreign policy in 2024?

    The True Costs of a US-China War for Taiwan

    The True Costs of a US-China War for Taiwan

    Ryan McMaken and Zachary Yost discuss new estimates of just how costly a US-China war over Taiwan would be. Things are made even worse by the fact the US is already shopping most of its weapon stockpiles to Ukraine. The US government simply refuses to acknowledge that scarcity exists.

    Do We Need a New Monroe Doctrine?

    Do We Need a New Monroe Doctrine?

    We know that "bring the troops home" is too much for America's foreign policy establishment. But if they can't handle that, a good first step would be to at least "bring the troops home" to the western hemisphere and the Americas. A new Monroe doctrine would be a less bad foreign policy paradigm than what we have now.
