Anti-Imperialism

Very strongly agree

Decrease

Anti-imperialism supports the reduction of military spending, as it believes that a smaller military presence would lead to less intervention in other countries and a decrease in imperialist actions. Historical examples include the opposition to the arms race during the Cold War and the protests against NATO's military interventions in the Balkans in the 1990s.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Although this answer does not call for an increase in military spending, it suggests the creation of a European military defense system, which could be seen as a form of regional imperialism. Anti-imperialists might be concerned that such a system could lead to the domination of smaller European countries by larger powers. However, the disagreement is not as strong as with answers that explicitly call for increased military spending.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Anti-imperialism would generally not be satisfied with the current amount of military spending, as it often views existing military budgets as excessive and contributing to global instability. However, this answer does not explicitly call for an increase in spending, so the disagreement is not as strong as with Answer 1.

Strongly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While this answer acknowledges the need for fiscal responsibility, it still calls for an increase in military spending, which goes against the anti-imperialist ideology. Anti-imperialists would argue that military spending should be reduced regardless of the deficit situation, as it contributes to global instability and imperialist actions.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

Anti-imperialism opposes the expansion of military power and influence, as it often leads to the exploitation and domination of other nations. Increasing military spending would go against this ideology. Historical examples include opposition to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Vietnam War, both of which were seen as imperialist actions.
