Join The U.S. Military To Kill And Die For Israel | The Libertarian Institute
 By Brian McGlinchy > President \[Donald] Trump’s decision to join Israel in launching a regime-change war on Iran has so far cost the lives of at least 13 American service members. More than [200](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=4ee55c2565&e=4d47a68367) have been wounded, [dozens](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=89ffd2f3b8&e=4d47a68367) seriously enough to require evacuations to military hospitals in Europe and the United States. Among them are individuals who’ve suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns and shrapnel wounds. One was facing potential [amputation](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=97c98a270d&e=4d47a68367) of an arm or leg. > As much as these service members and their families are victims of Iran’s justified retaliation for a surprise attack perpetrated amid ongoing negotiations, they’re victims of a betrayal perpetrated by their president and the joint chiefs of staff, who cast them into an unconstitutional war of aggression, packaged in lies and initiated to advance the agenda of a foreign government, while undermining the security of their own country. > Of course, U.S. casualties comprise a small subset of the total bloodshed. In executing this unjust war, Americans have collectively inflicted far more death and dismemberment than they’ve endured, teaming up with their Israeli counterparts to kill more than [3,000](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=33810a15f8&e=4d47a68367) Iranians, including some 150 schoolgirls—mostly between [age 7 and 12](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=3fbda0fb2e&e=4d47a68367)—whose school was destroyed by Tomahawk cruise missiles at the war’s very start.

Politics Incentivizes Trump Away From Peace | The Libertarian Institute
Politics Incentivizes Trump Away From Peace | The Libertarian Institute
 By Joseph Solis-Mullen > The early polling on President Donald Trump’s war against Iran presents what might, at first glance, look like a constraint on escalation. Across numerous polls a majority of Americans oppose the conflict with support for military action rarely breaking out of the 30-40% range. Concerns about escalation, retaliation, and the absence of clear objectives are widespread. And yet, none of this appears likely to meaningfully shape the administration’s decision-making. The reason is simple: in the political economy of contemporary American governance, broad public opinion matters far less than the alignment of elite incentives and core partisan support. On both counts, the incentives tilt decisively away from peace. > Start with the most important fact: Trump’s support among Republicans remains not only intact, but overwhelming. The Quinnipiac poll from March 9, 2026 shows Republican backing for the war at an astonishing 85-11 margin. Even more telling, a slim majority of Republicans, 52%, indicate a willingness to support the introduction of ground troops. That figure should give pause to anyone hoping for a natural ceiling on escalation. The plain fact is that Republican voters are going to support “their guy”—and across the aisle there are plenty of Democrats who will be reluctant to oppose him on the issue of war on Iran on behalf of Israel.

Two Primary Elections for the Soul of 'America First' -The Libertarian Institute
Two Primary Elections for the Soul of 'America First' | The Libertarian Institute
 By Alan Mosley > Political slogans are cheap. Governing is not. “America First” is not a bumper-sticker philosophy. It is a testable claim about priorities: How much debt will we pile up, how many wars will we drift into, and how often will elected officials treat Congress as a ceremonial prop rather than a constitutional branch. > Midterm elections are where slogans go to trial. Primaries, especially, are where interests that cannot reliably win a general election try to win the nomination. They do it with money, with media saturation, and with the oldest trick in politics: framing obedience as unity. > This year, two Republican races show the fork in the road. In northern Kentucky, Rep. Thomas Massie is fighting a primary that has become a national vendetta project. In South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham is seeking a fifth term while publicly linking his political identity to a foreign-policy crusade, and treating dissent at home as a moral failing.

Trump's American Tragedy | The Libertarian Institute
Trump's American Tragedy | The Libertarian Institute
 By Brad Pearce > The Israeli-American attack on Iran has been defined more than anything by the nonsensical nature of the messaging, with statements listing any number of potential goals. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, always eccentric and erratic, has been ranting about an endless variety of topics, with each day bringing about new unhinged statements. It is as if we have watched the White House become a Greek tragedy before our very eyes, with Donald Trump in the role of a mad king. This represents an incredible fall for a man who defeated all of his opponents and orchestrated the greatest comeback in American political history. However, his advanced age and hubris seem to have got the best of him. Trump must on some level know that his attack on Iran was a strategic disaster, hence his spiraling behavior. > Looking back, it feels as if Trump’s story was always a tragedy and he is now in his last act: isolated, raving, and left with none but grasping attendants who hope to profit from their closeness to him while they still can.
