If we are foolish in our use of our strength, we shall not survive
Notice Robert Taft used the word “foolish.” This implies we should use our strength when it is not foolish. Ron Paul doesn’t believe in having strength, let alone using it.
Ron Paul agrees with Robert Taft.
I don’t think Ron Paul thinks we shouldn’t be strong.
I think he is in favor of strong defense, but not attacking countries who didn’t attack us.
