Either threat can be dealt with, without our invoking the language of panic
Not if the surrender monkey had his way and we gutted our military. Our strength is a deterrence to our enemies. Have you ever seen a bully pick on someone bigger and stronger than him?

When has Dr. Paul suggested gutting our military? That is a baseless charge. The truth of the matter is that our military is now so spread out, as to be vulnerable in many situations.
Again. The Ron Paul foreign policy/defense strategy is a 21st Century manifestation of the Washington/Jefferson foreign policy. See An American Foreign Policy.
It is not a policy of weakness. It punishes the first insult. But it does not try to change other people's cultures. It leads by benign example, not intrusion.

Yep, once on YouTube a coupla months ago, until the kid got fed up, picked up the little punk and body-slammed him on the pavement! HAW Your point is well said though.
