 > The US is positioning its most advanced missile interceptors in the Middle East to prepare for a major war with Iran.  > According to the Wall Street Journal, the US is moving THAAD and Patriot interceptors into the Middle East. The air defenses will be sent to bases where US troops are stationed in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The White House views the advanced missile defense systems as necessary if President Donald Trump wants to launch a large-scale attack on Iran.  > Trump has ordered a significant military buildup in the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier strike group and fighter jets.

Israel Ends Doctors Without Borders Operations in Gaza | The Libertarian Institute
 > Israel has banned Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from conducting humanitarian missions in Gaza. MSF has helped to keep the battered healthcare system at a minimal functioning level.  > On Sunday, Tel Aviv announced that MSF would no longer be allowed to operate in Gaza. Israeli agencies claimed the humanitarian aid organization failed to provide Tel Aviv with sufficient documentation on its staff in the Strip.  > MSF said it attempted to negotiate with Israel to share information about its staff, with safeguards to protect them, but those talks were unsuccessful. “Following many months of unsuccessful engagement with Israeli authorities, and in the absence of securing assurances to ensure the safety of our staff or the independent management of our operations,” the group’s statement explained.

Reindustrialization, the Dollar, and the Limits of Tariff Politics
Reindustrialization, the Dollar, and the Limits of Tariff Politics | The Libertarian Institute
 By Joseph Solis-Mullen > President Donald Trump’s call to reindustrialize the United States taps into a widely shared sense that something fundamental has gone wrong in the American economy. Manufacturing employment has collapsed, entire regions have been hollowed out, and supply-chain disruptions during the COVID era revealed how dependent the United States has become on foreign production for even basic goods. Trump’s proposed remedy—high tariffs on imports combined with subsidies and industrial policy at home—aims to reverse decades of deindustrialization by forcefully redirecting capital back into domestic manufacturing. > The goal is not irrational. The United States does face strategic vulnerabilities from industrial dependence, and the post-Cold War faith that global markets would automatically allocate production in socially optimal ways has proven naïve. But the means Trump proposes are unlikely to work.

Libertarianism and ICE | The Libertarian Institute
 By John Weeks > On January 7, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an employee of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during deportation operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. > Immediately, millions of Americans defaulted to their ideological heuristics to interpret Good’s death. Libertarian Institute Director Scott Horton criticized this dynamic. He said in the aftermath: “Look, the objective fact is that if you lean left, then the ICE cop murdered the lady, and if you lean right, then she had it coming. And that’s just how it works.”

TGIF: The Right to Move | The Libertarian Institute
 By Sheldon Richman > If people individually own themselves and have a right to be free of aggressive force, then they have a right to change their location in ways consistent with other people’s rights. Whether you call this moving around relocating, emigrating, or immigrating, doesn’t much matter. The default position is that each individual may rightfully move to somewhere else permanently or temporarily. > Inside the United States, nobody questions this. People freely move from state to state, etc., sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. They need no one’s permission. > Why should things be different when we talk about countries rather than smaller jurisdictions and when the individuals who do the moving are not recognized as citizens of the destination country?
