Do you think libertarians tend to downplay geopolitical issues like the need for a strong military?
In a world with many communist/socialist nations with strong militaries and imperialist tendencies is it not important to have a powerful military at the ready in case someone tries to invade? Are alliances with like minded capitalist countries not important? Especially when the collectivist countries also have such alliances? I really like libertarian philosophy for the most part but I see the the disregard of military power and international defense pacts and alliances as a potential weakness. Obviously if the whole world were to decide to be libertarian it wouldn’t be an issue. But that’s not the reality. Would like to get some opinions of more seasoned libertarians out there.
