Patriot,

Last week's presidential debate was a wake-up call to millions of
Americans.

The obvious shock, of course, was that the entire mainstream
media has been systematically concealing President Biden's severe
cognitive problems from the American people.

But as I discuss in my latest column - read it below - former
President Trump spoke the truth when he warned Biden is
recklessly escalating a conflict that could bring about World War
III. . .

The danger, however, is Trump seems to believe the answer is more
of the same so-called "toughness" on foreign countries. Whether
even more bullying is what he thinks is a winning message, or is
what he genuinely believes is the answer, we don't know.

But as I explain below, true strength in foreign policy comes in
restraint.

Read it below, and if you support Campaign for Liberty's work to
bring about a true America-first, non-interventionist foreign
policy, please support Campaign for Liberty with a contribution.

The Debate Should Be a Wake-Up Call for Americans

There were plenty of surprises in last week's presidential
debate. For one, Americans who rely on the mainstream media for
their news learned that they had been lied to for the past three
years about President Biden's capability to do the job he was
elected to do.

The realization that the media has been lying for years about
Biden is a positive development, as, hopefully, thoughtful
Americans might begin wondering what else the media has been
lying about. For example, they will find out that the media has
been lying to them for years about Russia and Ukraine and about
the Middle East and elsewhere. They will find out that our
hyper-interventionist foreign policy does not make us safer and
more free, but the opposite.

Unfortunately for most Americans, foreign policy is something
that happens "over there," with few direct effects back home.
Dumping nearly $200 billion into the lost cause called "Ukraine"
may at most seem like an annoyance to many Americans, but it's
not like they are being snatched up by gangs of military
recruiters and sent to the front line as is happening to
Ukrainian men.

However, $200 billion is real money and the effect on our economy
is also real. The bill will be paid by each American family
indirectly through the inflation "tax." Each dollar created out
of thin air and spent on the Ukraine debacle devalues the rest of
the dollars in circulation.

The danger posed by our foreign policy seemed to escape both
candidates, who each tried to convince us they were "tougher"
than the other. Despite Donald Trump's sober and accurate warning
that Joe Biden has taken us to the brink of World War III, his
solution to the problem is doing more of the same. His stated
foreign policy seems to be that were he in office, the rest of
the world would not dare do anything against his will.

He would have been so tough that Russian president Vladimir Putin
would never have dared to invade Ukraine, he claimed. He would
have been so tough that Hamas would never have dared attack
Israel on October 7th. It's only Joe Biden's "weakness" that
leads to these disastrous foreign policy outcomes.

But the world does not work that way. Decades of U.S. sanctions
placed on any country that fails to do what Washington demands
have backfired and led to the emergence of a block of countries
united in their resistance to American dictates. Being "tough" on
less-powerful countries may work…until it doesn't. That's
where we are today.

Neither candidate seems to realize that the world has changed.

I have always said that real strength in foreign policy comes
from restraint. To prevent these bad outcomes everywhere, stop
intervening everywhere. It is not "toughness" that would have
prevented Russia from taking action against Ukraine. It is
restraint. Not launching a coup in Ukraine in 2014 would have
prevented the disastrous war in Ukraine. Just like not stirring
up trouble in the South China Sea would prevent a war with China.
Not continuing to occupy and intervene in the Middle East would
prevent a major regional war which might include Iran and other
big players in the region.

Restraint is the real toughness. Non-intervention is the only
foreign policy that will keep us safe and free. We've tried it
the other way and it does not work. Let's try something
different.
