{{quotebox-float|The [[GOP]]’s “war party” of [[neocon]]s and [[globalist|global]] [[interventionist]]s is surely today’s equivalent of the [[Whig]] pro-[[slave]]rs. The former’s pro-[[war]] [[policy]] position is both fundamentally wrong as both a practical and [[moral]] matter, and it’s been by-passed by [[history]], to boot.

That is to say, in the present day and age the homeland [[liberty]] and [[security]] of [[America]] requires neither an [[Empire]] abroad nor a massive [[War]]fare [[State]] to attend it, including the capacity to project [[military]] power to distant shores in projects of invasion, [[occupation]] and [[regime change]].

Likewise, neither does it require (entangling) [[foreign]] [[military]] alliances or $70 billion per year in [[foreign aid]] and [[security]] assistance designed to buy “[[allies]]” or enable [-[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] to meddle in local and regional disputes from one end of the [[planet]] to the other.

To the contrary, true [[national security]] today is actually a low-[[cost]], [[unilateral]] matter. It requires about $75 billion per year for an invulnerable [[triad nuclear]] [[Deterrence Theory|deterrent]].
