My requirements for Foreign Policy:
1. Think USA interests first, everything else is secondary.
2. No nation building in any foreign country. No one helped us, and we are broke and 15 TRILLION dollars in debt.
3. Free trade yes, only if it is FAIR trade. Do not buy any more from them than they buy from us.
4. Dismantle several hundred US bases abroad. Not wise to borrow from China to continue foreign adventures. That was the undoing of the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, The Third Reich, and every other empire in history. Aircraft carriers, Naval ships & submarines, & long range missiles are good substitutes.
5. Maintain a strong military. Peace works better through strength than appeasement.
Here’s a little of what Cain had to say about the Dept of Defense.
“Here’s why I want to be in a position where I can make a difference.”
1) I don’t want the priority to be on cutting. I want it to be on investing, and 2) I want to upgrade our … ballistic missile defense capable Aegis warships. And I would want to double that fleet. … So, I want to build our military and not tear it down.
“That would be the one that I could be excited about to help the generals and the commanders on the ground to get what they need to do what they do best – and that is to kick the you-know-what out of everybody in the world if something breaks out in other parts of the world.”
Savage said members of the military would “get a tingle up their spine” because they would love Cain, and he would “inspire confidence in the troops.”
