National Security Priorities

The current national security landscape emphasizes the importance of a robust military to deter rational aggressors and defeat irrational ones. There is a pressing need for increased defense spending and advancements in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, particularly as the U.S. faces threats from a coalition of adversarial nations like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The discussion highlights the need to restore border security and energy independence, underscoring that renewable energy solutions alone will not suffice for energy security. Ensuring military readiness and modernizing defense strategies are seen as essential to safeguard the nation against potential threats.
