There is Value in Understanding

the

Vindication of Humanity

"War is a matter of vital importance to the

State; the province of life or death; the road to

survival or ruin. It is mandatory that it be

thoroughly studied…"

- Sun Tzu

that nation.

Internationalism

“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do

business in great waters;

These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders

in the deep.”

- Psalm 107

The principles a state deploys globally in order to protect its own national

interest , security of its citizens and its rightful sovereignty.

The policies must protect a state’s borders and the economic climate within.

Dominate sovereignties must protect well being of weaker states from

aggressive neighbors.

“Realist” Foreign Policy

Augur of Conflict

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every

rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those

who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are

not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money

alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of

its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of

life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is

humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

-Eisenhower
