Pillars of International Peace

-- Repeal all tariffs and impediments to trade, even if other nations do not reciprocate. If one nation repeals its tariffs but other nations do not, all parties benefit, even the one without the tariffs. With no tariffs or impediments to trade, Hong Kong for many years was the world’s fastest growing economy. Trading partners are less likely to fight.

-- Require Americans abroad to provide for their own protection. Merchant ships would be armed. The possible loss of tourism would induce foreign nations to protect Americans.

-- Repeal all laws that criminalize the sale, purchase, or use of drugs.

-- Resign from the United Nations and require the United Nations to leave America.

-- The U.S. military would kill or capture anyone in the world who has the capability and clear intention to kill American citizens in the U.S. If the host nation denies permission, we would go in anyway. If our soldiers are killed or captured, we would consider this a cost of war, not an act of war. We would not apologize, but we would not reciprocate.
