He could say, "I have been against using the United States military as the world's police force. I am against preemptive war. I am against endless engagements costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Unfortunately, war is an inevitability and must be used but it should only be used in the most dire circumstance. That is why I will move away from the doctrines of the past which advocated tactical military strikes, swift limited engagements and nuanced and complex foreign diplomacy and say that the policy of the US military will be total annihilation of any enemy we deem to be a sufficient enough threat that war is necessary. We will increase military spending to achieve an overwhelming force capable of taking on any and all foes. If I ask congress for authority to wage war and congress authorizes military engagement with another country, it will be the mission of the US military to see that the country should cease to exist."
“You May not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.” — Leon Trotsky
