The war in Ukraine seems quite real, and so does America’s growing isolationism and taste for autocracy. In a visibly more unstable and divided world, a greater focus on defence is sensible.

How we are going to pay for it however is another question.

    People's safety cannot be guaranteed solely by weapons, which we all have a ton of. We see the result of that defensive doctrine in the middle east.

    Stability breeds stability : guarantee people's food security, healthcare access, decent housing, social tensions relief programs... That's what makes a country united against uncertainty.
