Good points. If we don't strike fear into the hearts of our enemies we will remain sissies in their eyes. I hope our liberal sissies will understand force is necessary when the only way we can defend ourselves from outside enemies and inside traitors who work with outside enemies is force.
Power is the only factor binding the state together. The capacity of the state to regulate laws and enforce law and order.
First stage is clearing traitors inside our border with all force necessary. Then comes those who finance and help destabilizers. All this within the constricts of "freedom of spech" and other bs freedoms that's only there to constrain weak nations under the current hegemons. We have to appear to have these freedoms, but not necessarily have them. Enough power means unlimited freedom, best example= greatest power on earth USA, greatest police and enforcer
