Description

Does the US Navy really protect the world's shipping lanes? There is surprisingly little support for this oft repeated justification for more ship building. In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation podcast, hosted by Rob and Ruairi. Join us as we navigate the complex currents of maritime security, examining the question: Is the US Navy's size justified for policing ocean-going trade, or is there more beneath the surface?

Or is the US Navy manipulate events to secure a larger slice of the budgetary pie from the US Treasury? In this episode we dive into the narratives surrounding Yemen's Houthis and Somali piracy, and reveal the US role in creating both of these crises.

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
