Why national security is top priority
War is the result of neglect over the past three decades towards everything related to the defense sector
The challenges we face in this war are the consequences of our disregard for the defense sector, including infrastructure, technology, and education. This neglect aligned with the overall trend of demilitarization in Western states. We particularly disfavored our military, considering it outdated and unnecessary.
The current global situation has proven that wars are bound to persis in the future, whether between states, on a continental scale, or even globally, despite what lies ahead.
"Therefore, any politician or party that does not prioritize national security in their future election programs does not deserve the slightest attention."
National security is a top priority even during the most peaceful periods.
