Strongly agree

Decrease

Libertarians often argue for decreased military spending as part of their overall goal to reduce the size and scope of government. They believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy and reducing the military's global presence, which would lead to decreased spending. For example, Ron Paul, a prominent libertarian, has consistently called for a reduction in military spending.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some Libertarians might agree with this statement, as they prioritize reducing the deficit and government spending. However, this answer still implies an eventual increase in military spending, which may not align with the non-interventionist foreign policy goals of many Libertarians.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Libertarians generally oppose international organizations and alliances that could infringe on national sovereignty or lead to increased government spending. Creating a European military defense system would likely not align with their non-interventionist and limited government principles.
