I’m interested in your take on increasing the defense budget. I’ve read the Foreign Policy section in your website (which is cool! Perhaps consider putting the link in your bio?). From what I gather, you consider extreme Islamism as a threat that should be handled more forcefully, and the rise of China as a potential threat to world peace and democracy which can also be mitigated by both military and diplomatic efforts?
The Civic Handbook presents a more simplified view on the issue that sticks to making the least controversial claims that nearly all EAs should be able to get on board with. My full justification for why I believe we should maintain the defense budget, written earlier this year, is here: https://eapolitics.org/platform.html#mozTocId629955
