Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.

Neutralism in another country has to deal with being out of favour with the cool kids

In our substack, The Long Hill Institute, we have written a piece about how neutralist policy is being subtly and not so subtly shunted aside in Ireland.

Neutrality had served Ireland well. Her youth would not be cast up to and slaughtered in a war not their own in the 1940s.

Now, spurious arguments are being put forward why neutralism is passé.

We disagree.

The substack looks at a country not abandoning neutralism. Professor Pascal Lottaz writes about Austria, which was able to free itself from foreign powers via neutralism and is not throwing it over as Finland is.

There is also Pascal's YouTube interview with Prof. Dr. Heinz Gärtner about Austria and the value of credible neutralism.
