Preamble

The Nationalist Party advocates for a foreign policy rooted in Strategic Independence, prioritizing the security and prosperity of the American people while minimizing entanglement in unnecessary foreign conflicts. This approach emphasizes a robust national defense, strategic global positioning, and pragmatic partnerships that align with our national interests. Our policy is guided by the principle that the United States must remain a powerful sovereign nation, capable of defending itself and its allies, without being drawn into conflicts that do not directly impact our core national security.

 

Modern Military Preparedness

• Objective: Sustain a powerful, well-funded military that prioritizes cutting-edge technology to ensure readiness for the battlefield of today and tomorrow.

• Technological Superiority: Invest in research and development of advanced military technologies, including cyber warfare capabilities, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and next-generation weaponry. This ensures that the U.S. military remains ahead of potential adversaries in all domains—land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.

• Force Readiness: Maintain a highly trained, agile, and adaptable military force capable of responding to diverse threats. This includes modernizing training programs to integrate new technologies and tactics, ensuring that personnel are prepared for the complexities of modern warfare.

• Sustainable Defense Budget: Ensure that military spending is focused on effectiveness and efficiency, avoiding wasteful expenditures while securing the necessary resources to keep the U.S. military at the forefront of global defense capabilities.

• Resilience and Redundancy: Build a resilient defense infrastructure that can withstand and recover from attacks, including cyber attacks and EMPs. This involves securing critical military installations, communication networks, and supply chains.

 

Global Military Presence

• Objective: Maintain strategic military positions worldwide to safeguard national interests and respond swiftly to emerging threats.

• Strategic Bases: Continue to operate and maintain military bases in key regions, such as the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe, to ensure rapid deployment capabilities and to protect critical international trade routes and allies.

• Rapid Response Forces: Develop and maintain rapid deployment units that can be mobilized quickly to respond to threats, humanitarian crises, or other emergencies. These forces will be stationed in strategic locations to enable swift action.

• Intelligence Networks: Expand and enhance global intelligence networks to monitor potential threats and gather critical information. This includes collaborating with allies and partners to ensure a comprehensive understanding of global security dynamics.

• Deterrence and Defense: Utilize a forward-deployed posture to deter adversaries from aggressive actions by demonstrating the capability and willingness to defend national interests. This posture serves as a visible commitment to the defense of America and its allies.

 

Naval Supremacy

• Objective: Achieve and maintain naval dominance, enabling rapid and decisive responses to global threats and deterring adversaries through overwhelming force projection.

• Fleet Expansion and Modernization: Invest in expanding and modernizing the U.S. Navy, focusing on aircraft carriers, submarines, and advanced destroyers. Prioritize the development of next-generation naval vessels equipped with the latest defense systems and technologies.

• Global Naval Presence: Ensure a robust and continuous naval presence in key regions, such as the South China Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Mediterranean, to protect sea lanes, deter piracy, and counter regional threats.

• Maritime Security Partnerships: Build and strengthen maritime security partnerships with allied nations, conducting joint exercises, intelligence sharing, and coordinated patrols to enhance collective naval capabilities.

• Littoral and Blue-Water Capabilities: Develop capabilities for both littoral (near-shore) and blue-water (open ocean) operations to ensure the U.S. Navy can project power and defend interests in any maritime environment.

 

Strategic Partnerships

• Objective: Forge and sustain regional alliances that bolster national security and counter adversarial influence. Approach these partnerships pragmatically, understanding that not all allies will share our democratic values, but ensuring mutual benefits that strengthen these alliances.

• Regional Alliances: Establish and maintain alliances with key nations in strategic regions, such as NATO in Europe, QUAD and AUKUS in the Indo-Pacific, and bilateral agreements with Middle Eastern nations. These alliances will focus on mutual defense, counterterrorism, and countering regional adversaries.

• Pragmatic Engagement: Recognize that strategic partnerships may include nations that do not fully share U.S. democratic values. Engage these nations with a focus on mutual benefit, prioritizing stability and security over ideological alignment.

• Countering Adversarial Influence: Work with allies and partners to counter the influence of adversarial powers, such as China, Russia, and Iran in key regions. This includes coordinated efforts to combat disinformation, economic coercion, and military expansionism.

• Economic and Military Aid: Provide targeted economic and military aid to strategic partners, ensuring that this aid is used to strengthen regional stability and support U.S. interests. Aid will be contingent on clear agreements that align with American national security objectives.

 

Conclusion

The Nationalist Party’s foreign policy of Strategic Independence reflects a commitment to safeguarding American sovereignty while maintaining the necessary global presence to protect our national interests. By prioritizing modern military preparedness, global strategic positioning, naval supremacy, and pragmatic partnerships, we ensure that the United States remains secure and prosperous in an increasingly complex world. This approach allows us to focus on what truly matters: the well-being and future of the American people.
