Vladimir Batyuk

Head of the Center for Military and Political Research at the State Institute of the U.S. and Canada
“[A] titanic battle between American nationalism and American liberal globalism. Donald Trump embodies the first camp, and half of the Americans support him on this issue, believing that the U.S. spends too much [in terms of] manpower and resources on foreign policy. Liberal globalism is represented in this by the deep state, which hates the president and is doing everything to maximally complicate Trump’s life in Washington.”

Notes from M. Friedman "Capitalism and Freedom"

Friedman says, "Government is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom."


The free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country. He will ask rather “What can I and my compatriots do through government” to help us discharge our individual responsibilities, to achieve our several goals and purposes, and above all, to protect our freedom?

...

Freedom is a rare and delicate plant. Our minds tell us, and history confirms, that the great threat to freedom is the concentration of power.

...

Government is necessary to preserve our freedom, it is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom; yet by concentrating power in political hands, it is also a threat to freedom.

...

Even though the men who wield this power initially be of good will and even though they be not corrupted by the power they exercise, the power will both attract and form men of a different stamp.

War and courage have accomplished more great things than love of one’s neighbour

War and courage have accomplished more great things than love of one’s neighbour. Not your pitying but your bravery has so far saved the unfortunate.
