The US Navy: Is It Useful?

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. ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok
