Fiscal Conservatism

Strongly agree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

Fiscal conservatives would likely support this position, as it aligns with their preference for reducing government spending and balancing budgets. By setting a clear threshold for defense spending, this stance encourages NATO countries to take more responsibility for their own defense and not rely on the U.S. to cover the shortfall. This approach is consistent with the fiscal conservative belief in limited government intervention and promoting self-reliance among allies.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

While fiscal conservatives might acknowledge the potential dangers of refusing to defend other NATO countries, their primary concern is reducing government spending and balancing budgets. They would likely argue that the U.S. should not be responsible for defending countries that do not meet their defense spending commitments, and that these countries should take more responsibility for their own defense. This position might be seen as a compromise between maintaining global security and promoting fiscal responsibility.

Disagree

Yes

Fiscal conservatives generally prioritize reducing government spending and balancing budgets. While they may not be entirely opposed to defending NATO allies, they would likely be critical of countries that do not meet their defense spending commitments. Fiscal conservatives might argue that these countries should take more responsibility for their own defense, rather than relying on the U.S. to cover the shortfall.

Disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

While fiscal conservatives prioritize reducing government spending, withdrawing from NATO entirely would be an extreme position that most fiscal conservatives would not support. NATO has been a cornerstone of global security since its inception in 1949, and withdrawing from the alliance could have significant negative consequences for both the U.S. and its allies. Fiscal conservatives might advocate for NATO reform or increased defense spending by other member countries, but they would likely not support a complete withdrawal from the alliance.
