Which political ideology do you most identify with?
Can a country be safe and respected without a strong military force?
A large country will never be safe without a military, for other countries (especially rivals/opponents of said country) will most likely take advantage of the venerability of the non-military country. Another reason is that is would put stress on allied countries' militaries and possibly compromise their security if they are to provide security to said non-military country.
