On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: Yesterday President Trump continued his “victory lap” on the Iran war, bragging that we’ve already won the war and that he is ready to end it. Meanwhile a new Intelligence Community report was leaked assessing that the Iranian government is holding steady. Meanwhile oil and LNG prices are shooting […]

For nearly two millennia, the Christian intellectual tradition has maintained that war, while sometimes permissible, is never presumptively just. The burden of proof always falls on the party making war, not on the party resisting it. Augustine of Hippo laid the groundwork in the fifth century. Thomas Aquinas refined it in the thirteenth. Their framework […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 10 March 2026, I appeared on Glenn Diesen’s podcast to talk with him about where the Iran war is headed. We had an excellent discussion in which we emphasized that the US and the Israelis have no strategy for winning this war and no apparent exit ramp to take to […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: As often happens, the NDAA bill contains some of the worst language of all legislation. This year is no different, with language slipped into the bill that automatically and involuntarily registers young men for the military draft.

As Iranian officials displayed US-marked fragments of a missile believed to have been used in Saturday’s massacre of around 175 mostly school children in Minab, President Donald Trump on Monday doubled down on his unfounded claim that Iran carried out the strike. The president suggested during a press conference at his Trump National Doral Miami […]

A war launched with shifting reasons and sliding timelines is a warning sign, not a strategy. We sit down with former Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski to examine how the U.S.–Iran confrontation veered from consent to chaos in days: bungled evacuations, brittle base defenses, and a communications vacuum that can’t cover for poor planning. Karen draws […]

Western “social engineering” projects in the Middle East have repeatedly faltered by ignoring the historical consciousness of target nations. Unlike the artificial project-states of the post-colonial era, Iran represents the modern manifestation of a millenary state tradition. This analysis argues that external pressure, rather than triggering a domestic collapse, activates a “national honor” reflex that consolidates […]

A diverse coalition is mobilizing opposition to a recently-passed federal law that seeks to step up preparations for and readiness to activate a military draft. The new law authorizes the federal Selective Service System (SSS) to begin using automated involuntary registration to increase the number of individuals currently listed in the agency’s database of potential […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: With the markets in total disarray, oil production in the Middle East halted, and Iranian missiles continuing to destroy targets in the region, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that top Trump aides are scurrying for a face-saving exit from the war. But what if Iran says “no”? Also […]
