Should Libertarians Celebrate “Operation Epic Fury”?
March 3, 2026
That of course is the idiotic name the neocons have given to their latest invasion of a Middle East country by the U.S./Israeli armies. Javier Milei immediately joined with his fellow Zionist neocons to “celebrate” the invasion. Those of us who knew Murray Rothbard can just hear him shouting that Milei’s “celebration” is “Monstrous!” Milei should change the name of his dog from Rothbard to say, Lindsey (Graham), McCain, or perhaps Sean (Hannity) or Marc (Levin).
Milei is what Ryan McMaken calls a “micro-libertarian.” He sounds like a libertarian when talking about such things as price controls or legalizing prostitution, but acts oblivious to the ancient truth that “war is the health of the state” as he cheerleads for the ongoing Israeli/US. genocide being perpetrated in Gaza and now “operation epic fury.”
