Talking heads on the both left and the right in America praised Trump’s decision to drop bombs on Syria, a move that could lead to unintended consequences and wars. But one group seemed strangely silent: the anti-war left. Where is the anti-war left? During the Bush years, libertarians and anti-war liberals became allies with a common goal: stop the wars. But ever since Obama was elected, the anti-war left has been strangely quiet. American liberals have been in denial for eight years as Obama increased drone wars and special operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. Obama ended his bloody reign by dropping more than 26,000 bombs in 2016, giving himself the record for being at war longer than any U.S. President in history. Now that Trump is continuing Obama’s drone wars, the American political class seems confused about whether or not they should support Trump’s bombings in Syria. As Ann Coulter noted: “Cable news hosts gushed, ‘Trump became president of the United States tonight!’ On MSNBC, Brian Williams called the bombing ‘beautiful’ three times in less than a minute. Sen. Lindsey Graham (one of the ‘women of the Senate,’ according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) compared Trump to Reagan. The New York Times headlined an article, ‘On Syria Attack, Trump’s Heart Came First.’” A few anti-war democrats have been brave enough to speak against Trump’s military actions, such as Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich, but the voices have been marginalized by the now pro-war Democratic party. Pro-war Democrats attacked Tulsi for her skepticism over Trump’s decision to drop bombs on Syria. Democrat Howard Dean tweeted, “This is a disgrace. Gabbard should not be in Congress.” As the drumbeat continues to grow louder for a future American war with Syria and North Korea, libertarians are discovering …

Scott Horton visited the Tom Woods Show last week to give a basic overview of foreign policy that Trump (or any President) needs to know. Scott Horton is the managing director of The Libertarian Institute and the host of Antiwar Radio for Pacifica Radio 90.7FM. Scott gave a quick overview of foreign policy, highlighted below: Iran Scott warned that Iran may be tempting for warhawks to intervene in because of their nuclear capability. However, according to Scott, Iran has sworn as a matter of policy that, “they’ll never seek nukes. And truthfully, and honestly . . . there really is no evidence they ever had a weapons program.” For Scott, the best thing Donald Trump could do with Iran is simply walk away, and keep Obama’s peace deal in place. Policy Advisers Scott warned a Trump Presidency to steer clear of loose cannon policy advisers like John Bolton and James Woolsey. Instead, Trump should consider advisers that can give a strong case against nation building Doug Bandow, Ted Carpenter, and Paul Pillar, who have the credentials, and would be, “perfect” for the job. Yemen Scott said, “Everything horrible going on in Yemen is all Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s fault.” Scott described how Obama and Hillary started bribing the dictator of Yemen so they could bomb Al Qaeda with drones. The dictator of Yemen took all the money and guns Obama gave him, and he picked a fight with the Houthi’s up in the north. According to Scott, four different wars against the Houthi’s only made them stronger and more powerful. But when Hillary Clinton held a fake election to overthrow the dictator, he simply took the military and made an alliance with the Houthi’s from the north, who he was fighting against before. “At this point, it’s a war without end,” said …
