Internationalism

Strongly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system aligns with internationalist goals of promoting cooperation and shared responsibility among nations. This approach could lead to more efficient use of resources and a more unified response to security threats. The European Union's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) is an example of an internationalist effort to coordinate defense and security policies among EU member states.

Agree

Decrease

Internationalism tends to favor decreased military spending in favor of diplomacy, international cooperation, and development aid. A historical example of this is the Marshall Plan, which provided economic aid to European countries after World War II to promote stability and prevent the spread of communism. Internationalists would argue that investing in diplomacy and development can create a more stable and peaceful world, reducing the need for military spending.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Internationalism does not have a specific stance on maintaining the current level of military spending. It would depend on the context and the existing balance between military spending and other priorities such as diplomacy, international cooperation, and development aid. Internationalists may be satisfied with the current level of spending if they believe it is balanced with other priorities.

Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Internationalism is not inherently opposed to increasing military spending, but it would likely prioritize reducing the deficit through other means, such as reallocating resources from military spending to diplomacy, international cooperation, and development aid. The focus on deficit reduction in this answer may not align with internationalist priorities, but it is not completely opposed to their ideology.

Disagree

Increase

Internationalism generally promotes cooperation and diplomacy over military force. While internationalists may not be completely opposed to military spending, they would likely prioritize other areas such as foreign aid, diplomacy, and international organizations. For example, the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations, was an internationalist effort to prevent war through diplomacy and cooperation.
