Well, you kinda need military power

First of all, no. The whole idea of globalization is that if you have economic entanglement the wars will not be profitable.

Also there are other ways of keeping military strength without having very big military see Switzerland and all guerrilla groups successfully repelling much bigger opponents like the US.

Also, don't accuse people of being [insert here ideology], it's just childish and not better than attacking them

I mostly agree, but the meme created does represent this ideology and you can attack problematic ideologies.

    Switzerland has mandatory military service. If you include reserves, it has a bigger military than Germany, Poland, or the UK. Not per capita, just straight up more people. If you only include active personnel it's still comparable per capita to most European countries
