Ron Paul Liberty Report

Although we are seemingly in a permanent war, the US Congress has been AWOL in fulfilling its Constitutional responsibilities.

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders find themselves as allies in their attempts to "help" blue-collar American workers.

Tens of thousands of Japanese are demonstrating over changes to the constitution overturning more than half a century's prohibition on war. The Japanese government wants a more central role in Obama's "pivot to Asia," which is a cover for more US militarization of the region and a US challenge to China in the South China Sea. Is Japan going neocon? Be sure to visit http://www.ronpaullibertyreport.com for more libertarian commentary.

In Washington (and among its European allies) the foreign policy playbook contains only one play: military escalation. If ISIS emerged as a result of the US attack on Iraq, the only solution is more attacks. More attacks bring more blowback.
