How Would Libertarians Deal With ISIS? Ft. Lucy Steigerwald [PODCAST]

by Austin Petersen

In an anarcho-capitalist world without roads… who would kill the terrorists?

Lucy Steigerwald of Vice Magazine and AntiWar.com joins the Freedom Report podcast today to discuss issues of war and peace. Steigerwald, an “almost pacifist” libertarian discusses and debates issues related to ISIS, war and foreign policy.

Lucy, with her newly minted fame as one of the “Top 20 Hottest Ladies of Liberty,” discusses the speech of North Korean expat Yeonmi Park. Knowing the horrors that people like Park experience at the hands of the North Korean regime, should the United States be involved in defending South Korea? Steigerwald says it’s time for the troops to come home. Even if that means the North could overrun the capitalist South? We discuss and debate in this show.

Also, just when is self defense justified? Was it moral or ethical for the United States to drop the bomb on Imperial Japan? All that and more on this very special episode of the Freedom Report, taped at the International Students for Liberty Conference in Washington D.C.
