It sometimes feels like the strong prey on the weak in today’s world. Hoping for the best isn’t enough to keep us safe. That’s why I believe in “peace through strength.” Think of it like this: a strong lock on your door keeps bad guys away. A strong country sends a clear message: “Don’t mess with us.” That strength gives us a seat at the table and makes it more likely that others will listen to reason. It’s not about bullying anyone; it’s about protecting ourselves. And strength isn’t just about armies and weapons. It’s about having a strong economy, a society where people look out for each other, and the freedom to make our own choices. We don’t have to give in to bullies when we have all of that. “Peace through strength” means being prepared and confident, not naive. It’s about standing up for our beliefs and securing a better future.
