A must-see video from William Spaniel: The Rise (and Fall?) of the Western Territorial Peace

William Spaniel is an associate professor of Political Science at The University of Pittsburgh. His YouTube videos are all worth watching.

Dr. Spaniel has just released a 74-minute YouTube video: The Rise (and Fall?) of the Western Territorial Peace.

Spaniel explains why the international order that has prevailed for the last 80 years is unquestionably beneficial to the United States, despite obvious freeloading from other countries. We will profoundly regret destroying this era of peace and prosperity.

Every member of Congress and all members of the present administration should understand the video's conclusions. The stakes could not be higher.

I am urging everyone I know to watch this video. Please, please, please, watch the entire video and spread the word.

Thanks.
