| 摘要 | Speaking at the Union League of Philadelphia on Wednesday, Donald Trump outlined his plan to rebuild America’s military, eliminating the defense budget cuts of the Obama years and expanding the size of the force. His recommendations were met with reserved praise from a conservative national security community often critical of his policies. The headline items were his call to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps, boost the Air Force fighter inventory, and vastly expand the Navy fleet. But the speech, upon closer analysis, leaves one to ask: what’s the desired build-up actually for? In light of previous speeches and even Wednesday’s, Trump’s defense plans appear out of sync with his preferred “grand” strategy. Indeed, the mismatch between policy and resources—the ends and the means of foreign and defense policy—is quite striking. But this appears no less true for Hillary Clinton. While her years in the Senate and her tenure as secretary of state suggest a desired return to a more activist, liberal internationalist posture, her proposed policy agenda if elected president will likely preclude the kind of resource investments necessary to live up to that image. Where Trump would only have the means, Clinton only understands the ends. |
