Indeed, they do. The whole reason for the existence of the Heritage Foundation was to safeguard our liberties...and the military capacities we need to make sure we don't lose them or a future war. They, the Hudson Institute, the Manhattan Foundation, and Rand and the DSB all apparently are seeing the writing on the wall more clearly than some of the other think-tanks.
These others are "in the tank" for continuing the dissipations of our position as "business as usual."
I see no great obligation to defend any nation who has otherwise "gamed the system" of international trade.
