We hear ad nauseum from political and media elites that the war in Ukraine is about preserving "our freedoms." Murray Rothbard had something to say about this sophistry. Original Article: "Rothbard Was Right: Wars Don't Enhance Freedom. They Destroy Liberty."{ai:summary}<p>Wars in Ukraine claim to preserve freedom, but it is a deception. Murray Rothbard said precisely that wars do not enhance freedom; instead, they destroy liberty. This sophistry of political and media elites is no more than a facade. </p><p>The belief that war can protect freedom is naïve. As Rothbard pointed out, wars are a threat to liberty as they allow governments to expand their power and limit individual freedoms. Preserving freedom by fighting wars is nothing but a fallacy, and people should not be misled by it.</p>
