Again, I shall ask: “There always has been, is now and always will be a dominant world military power. Just what county or group would you like to see be that power?”
The is NO defense without a significant offense. There is none in the competative business world. There is none in sports. And, there is none in the protection of the United States.
If this nation is not positioned militarily throughout the world, our ability for a deterant offense (yes, that is defense) the nation is a great risk as are our critical allies and interests. Ron Paul wants to violate the most important objective of the US Constitution.
Oh, and I have not even gotten to how crackpot Paul screws up the “promote the geneal welfare” second most important objective of the uS Constitution.
No, I don’t mean the definition that the socialists have pevereted to build entitlements. I mean how that jerk has no problem expanding by tens of millions the number of people destroying families, neighborhoods, and US productivity with a massive growth in drug freaks.
(1) Attempting to micromanage the world is a liberal utopian concept that comes straight out of the Woodrow Wilson playbook.
Far from securing the United States from terrorist attacks, constantly interfering in the internal affairs of foreign nations makes terrorist strikes more likely, makes costly expensive foreign wars more likely, and undermines our economy by enslaving the young to the national debt.
(2) Wars in Iraq, Libya, Serbia, and Vietnam were globalist wars of choice. None of these countries had any capacity to attack the United States.
(3) What’s the use of a military that is not used to defend our own borders? Who cares if North Korea attacks South Korea? Mexico is allowed to invade Arizona and Texas.
(4) The Founders were against standing armies which they believed could be turned on people to take away their liberties.
