Loading ...Council on Foreign Relations calls for more military spending to boost US dominance
The Council on Foreign Relations is worried about US domestic disillusionment with foreign involvement including military actions.
Richard Haass, president of the CFR just appeared on Bloomberg in a much-touted video to discuss the “importance of international leadership.”
His appearance seems part of a disciplined effort to head off US “isolationism” and his campaign seems to go back at least to 2014.
In late 2014, in a voluminous article in Foreign Affairs entitled “The Unraveling How to Respond to a Disordered World,” Haass made the case that though the US would have less influence globally in the 21st century that leaders shouldn’t step away from international involvement.
In fact, he says, the US should step up its military spending around the world.
