Patriot,

Since I wrote my most recent column last week (read it below),
the past week's events in Ukraine have only made my call for a
peace president more urgent.

Our nation's leaders are sleepwalking into World War 3, and it is
critical that the American people not allow them to continue
before it's too late.

Read my latest column below, and if you support Campaign for
Liberty's mission, including a non-interventionist foreign
policy, please consider chipping in a contribution to support our
work.

We Need a Peace President

Most people agree that we are closer to nuclear war than at any
time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Some would even argue
that we are closer now than we were in those fateful days, when
Soviet missiles in Cuba almost triggered a nuclear war between
the US and the USSR.

In those days we were told that we were in a life-or-death
struggle with Communism and thus could not cede a square foot of
territory or the dominoes would fall one-by-one until the "Reds"
ruled over us.

That crisis was very real to me, as I was drafted into the
military in the middle of the US/USSR standoff over Cuba and we
could all feel how close we were to annihilation.

Fortunately, we had a president in the White House at the time
who understood the dangers of nuclear brinkmanship. Even though
he was surrounded by hawks who could never forgive him for
aborting the idiotic Bay of Pigs Cuba invasion, President John F.
Kennedy picked up the telephone for a discussion with his Soviet
counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev, which eventually saved the world.


Historians now tell us that President Kennedy agreed to remove US
missiles from Turkey in exchange for the Soviets removing
missiles from Cuba. It was a classic case of how diplomacy can
work if properly employed.

It is all too clear that we do not have a John F. Kennedy in the
White House today. Although we no longer face a Soviet empire and
communist ideology as justification for taking a confrontational
tone toward Russia, the Biden Administration is still dragging
the US toward a nuclear conflict. Why are they putting us all at
risk? The same old "domino theory" that was discredited in the
Cold War: If we don't fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian,
Putin will soon be marching through Berlin.

This all started with Biden promising to only send uniforms and
medical supplies to Ukraine for fear of sparking a Russian
retaliation. From there we went to anti-tank missiles,
multiple-rocket launchers, Patriot missiles, Bradley fighting
vehicles, and millions of rounds of ammunition. The Biden
Administration announced last week that it would send depleted
uranium ammunition to Ukraine, which poisons the earth for
millennia to come. Rumors are that long-range ATACMs missiles are
to be delivered soon, which could strike deep into Russia.

Apparently, F-16 fighter jets are also on the way.

The escalation rationale from Washington, we are told, is that
since the Russians have not directly retaliated against NATO for
NATO's direct support of Ukraine's war machine, we can be sure
they never will respond.

Is that really a wise bet? It is clear to many that US-built F-16
fighters taking off from NATO bases with NATO pilots attacking
Russians in Ukraine - or even Russia itself - would be a
declaration of war on Russia.

That means World War III - something we managed to avoid for the
whole Cold War.

Congress is silent - or compliant - as we lurch forward toward
disaster for no discernable US strategic goal. Biden - or whoever
is actually running the show - is forging straight ahead.

As we move into the US presidential election cycle one thing is
clear: we desperately need a peace president to do for us what
JFK did for the US during the Cuba crisis. Hopefully it won't be
too late!
