It’s an empire that is as pacifist as the USSR was freedom-loving.

Even George Washington knew that there could be no such thing as a pacifist foreign policy.
Among the many interesting objects which will engage your attention, that of providing for the common defense will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end, a uniform and well digested plan is requisite: and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent on others for essential, particularly for military supplies.
Feigning pacifism, therefore, is a remarkable sign of belligerence.
