We can oppose Ukraine in NATO and still stand with freedom seekers worldwide

From my column at The American Conservative, “To a man, our Founders expressed their desire to have questions of war decided by the collective wisdom of Congress and not by the whims of a single President. Madison wrote that the executive branch was the branch most likely to engage in war and, therefore, the drafters of the Constitution deliberately vested that power in the legislature.

These sentiments still ring true to many libertarians, who believe that war should be the last resort, that war should only be fought with a formal congressional declaration, and that America cannot be expected to send its sons and daughters to be sacrificed in every war on the planet, even when the call for war is sought by fellow aspirants for liberty.

But it’s important to clarify that the heart of Quincy Adams—as well as many modern-day libertarians, including myself—aligns with freedom seekers around the globe.

I have not one shred of sympathy for aggressor nations who invade and pillage adjoining countries. None.

A policy of restraint can argue simultaneously that admitting Ukraine into NATO is foolishly provocative and that Russia’s aggression is unjustified, unwarranted, and ultimately will be destructive both to Ukraine and to Russia herself.”
