Do not fill this in!=== War === *Message: Violence is an occasionally necessary evil that pacifists will argue isn't necessary and jingoists will argue isn't evil. If the aim is peace, you cannot tolerate injustice (and you certainly can't become it). *Means: "Big Stick diplomacy"β diplomacy first backed by a present defense second (though focused on efficiency over abundance, allocation towards ABMs, MRAP vehicles, UGVs, UAVs, and high-precision drone ballistics i.e. AGM-114R-9X kinetic missile) **Aiming for a minimum of spending over the threshold of maintaining military superiority **Regulating the military industrial complex's influence on decision-making (basing criteria on principle over profit) **Weighing foreign and domestic needs at all given times, lending support to allied causes based on national ability and foreign need (primarily aid as supplies, trades, loans, etc.), fully withdrawing cooperation with bad-actor nations (initiating breaches in cease-fire agreements, breaches in conduct of war), situationally moderating military ventures when national economy is in higher crisis and geopolitical climate is in lower crisis **Maintaining counter-terrorist reconnaissance, intelligence, and special operations (favoring foreign internal defense/unconventional warfare) **When crisis absolutely demands, maintaining kill/capture orders for hogh value targets, maintaining counter-proliferation for national threats **Nonetheless prioritizing "soft" to "hard" intervention, maintaining humanitarian aid and endorsing liberal democracy globally (via hearts and minds), refraining from offenses of aggression, refraining from regime-change operations that may result in equal-or-worse dictatorships **Public support to troops individually, actively improving veteran care **Ultimately posturing the international role of America as a "quiet giant", made strong by its domestic strength first (sound in spirit), on the path to lead the world to peace (sound in heart), by way of respecting its capability (sound in body) Summary: Please note that all contributions to Polcompball Anarchy may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
