Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, discusses the Obama administration’s renewed military actions in Libya (still justified by the 2001 AUMF); how a real antiwar Republican (like Ron Paul) could effectively counter Hillary Clinton’s strange political strategy of appearing as hawkish as possible; and RPI’s Peace and Prosperity […]

Edward Stringham, author of Private Governance: Creating Order in Economic and Social Life, discusses why Americans are losing confidence in their increasingly-militarized police forces; and the propaganda put out by pro-cop groups like Blue Lives Matter.

Mark Perry, author of Talking to Terrorists: Why America Must Engage with its Enemies, discusses US efforts to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq, which could happen just before the November presidential election, giving Hillary Clinton a big boost.

Nasser Arrabyee, a Yemeni journalist based in Sanaa, discusses the political unification of Houthi militias and former president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s party as Yemenis from the north and south risk their lives to fight against Saudi Arabia’s unrelenting destruction of the country.

James Carden, a contributing writer for The Nation and former advisor on Russia at the US State Department, discusses Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy team of neocons and liberal hawks that is shaping up to be the most belligerent in a generation; and the “reverse domino theory” currently in vogue that advocates regime-changing Georgia and Ukraine […]

Anthony Walker, a former Army psychological operations specialist who served in Afghanistan and Yemen, discusses the unnecessary death and destruction caused by JSOC’s direct action task force in Afghanistan; and how this brutal program has left Afghans distrustful of their own government and made nation-building all but impossible.

James Ostrowski, a lawyer and author from Buffalo, New York, discusses his new book “The Impeachment of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton: for High Crimes in Syria and Libya;” and why critics of Hillary’s role in Benghazi would be well served to take a broader look at the Libyan war.

Inder Comar, founder and legal director of Comar Law, discusses his federal court lawsuit Saleh V. Bush that claims the 2003 Iraq War was a Nuremberg-type “crime of aggression;” and the trove of information in the Blair-Bush memos released in the Chilcot report.

Patrick Cockburn, journalist and author of Chaos & Caliphate: Jihadis and the West in the Struggle for the Middle East, discusses Turkish President Recep Erdogan’s crackdown on schools and universities allegedly linked to the Gulen movement, lead by US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen who is accused of staging the military coup attempt on July 15th.
