Libertarianism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Libertarians generally support decreased government spending, including on the military. They believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy and argue that a smaller military would be sufficient for national defense. For example, the Libertarian Party platform calls for maintaining a sufficient military to defend the United States against aggression but opposes the use of military force for purposes other than self-defense.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some libertarians may agree with this position, as it acknowledges the need to reduce the deficit before increasing military spending. However, many libertarians would still prefer to see military spending decreased overall, as they believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy and a smaller government. This position may be seen as a compromise between different factions within the libertarian movement.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Libertarians generally believe that the current level of military spending is too high and would prefer to see it decreased. However, some libertarians may be satisfied with the current level of spending if they believe it is necessary for national defense. This position would likely be a minority view within the libertarian movement.

Disagree

Increase

Libertarianism generally advocates for a smaller government and reduced spending. While some libertarians may support a strong national defense, they would likely prefer to see spending cuts in other areas before increasing military spending. For example, Ron Paul, a prominent libertarian, has consistently called for a non-interventionist foreign policy and reduced military spending.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Libertarians generally oppose international organizations and military alliances, as they believe these can infringe on national sovereignty and lead to unnecessary military interventions. Creating a European military defense system would likely be seen as contrary to libertarian principles. For example, libertarians have often criticized NATO as an example of an alliance that entangles the United States in foreign conflicts and increases military spending.
