Thread: Ron Paul's manifesto, chapter 2 Help

Okay so I understand that Ron Paul does not want to involve our country in any wars unless attacked by another country. In chapter two he seems to clearly state it, and I have to admit it is a beautiful chapter, where he quotes maxims of many brilliant men. I was just wondering how far he would go with his non-interventionalism in certain situations. For example, lets say China had invaded Taiwan, and many other countries in southwestern Asia. Would Ron Paul feel it necessary to go to war in this situation. I would be cause it demonstrates China's hostility to other countries and desire for world domination. I would not vote for a president that was this apathetic in foreign affairs. It would be plain out stupid. Confrontation would be a necessity. Would it not? Opinions? Answers to my question on Ron Paul?

One reason Pauls more extreme views often dont bother me is for one
thing the President is one man, a president isn't a dictator (Bush jokes
aside)--also Paul supports these ideas, he speaks for them, it doesn't
equate to absolute unbending behavior.

Another thing to be considered is how allies are defined when talking
about an attack on "us".
