This conflict highlights President Trump’s hypocritical campaign promises to peace.
Libertarians have long warned against the imperial entanglements that drain the future of working Americans to serve globalist crusades and foreign powers. Starting a war with Iran would be the ultimate expression of this poison: an unnecessary, unconstitutional adventure sold under the guise of “national security” but transparently designed to fight Israel’s battles on Washington’s dime. No American blood should be spilled, no trillions more borrowed and inflated away, for Jerusalem’s ambitions.
As the great libertarian voices have repeatedly exposed, neoconservatism—whether under Bush, Obama, Biden or Trump—represents the antithesis of freedom and liberty. These Beltway statists cheer endless wars, empire-building, and the military-industrial complex while pretending to champion “freedom.” In reality, they sacrifice the liberties and prosperity of ordinary Americans—farmers, workers, and families in Wisconsin and across the heartland—for a foreign policy that has brought only debt, death, and decline.
President Trump campaigned on ending forever wars. Any slide into conflict with Iran would be a grotesque repudiation of that promise, handing victory to the very neocons and Israeli/military contractor lobbies that libertarians have fought to purge from influence for decades. We reject this globalist perversion outright. Libertarians demand that we come home: slash the welfare-warfare state, restore sound money, and let Israel sort out their own affairs without dragging us into their quarrels.
The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin calls on all freedom-loving Wisconsinites, especially those weary of decades of betrayed promises, to rise up and demand an end to this madness. Support candidates and voices who support: no more foreign entanglements, no more tribute to foreign lobbies, no more empire. Peace, prosperity, and sovereignty begin by saying no to war for Israel or anyone else.
“Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else,” as Frédéric Bastiat taught us. Let us not add another endless Middle Eastern war to that list of thefts from the American people.
