Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

For example, during the Obama administration, some Republicans called for a reduction in the deficit before increasing military spending.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The Republican party generally supports a strong U.S. military presence and increased military spending. Creating a European military defense system instead would not align with their traditional stance on maintaining a strong U.S. military. However, some Republicans may support increased cooperation with European allies in defense matters.
