Centrism

Strongly agree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

Centrists generally support international alliances and commitments, including NATO, and recognize the importance of maintaining global security. Refusing to defend other NATO countries could set a dangerous precedent and potentially destabilize the balance of power. However, the score is not a full 5 because centrists may still want to see some improvements in defense spending from other NATO countries.

Slightly disagree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

While centrists may be concerned about burden-sharing within NATO, setting a strict 2% GDP threshold for defense spending may be seen as too inflexible and potentially harmful to the alliance. Centrists may prefer to encourage increased defense spending through diplomatic means rather than refusing to defend countries that do not meet the threshold.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

Centrism in the U.S. generally supports maintaining international alliances and commitments, including NATO. Withdrawing from NATO would be a drastic move that would likely be opposed by centrists, as it would undermine global security and potentially harm U.S. interests.
