Priority
National Security

Keep the peace by being impossible to push around.

RHC believes peace is maintained through strength. A firm, principled foreign policy confronts terrorism, deters aggression, and stands with the allies who share our values.

In short

RHC backs a strong national defense, aggressive counterterrorism against radical Islamist networks, and firm deterrence of authoritarian regimes, the “peace through strength” doctrine at the heart of its founding platform.

Where things stand

The challenge in front of us.

Terror networks and their state sponsors remain active from South Asia to the Middle East. Adversaries test American resolve wherever they sense weakness, and allies like India face cross-border terrorism and separatist violence that the world too often ignores.

  • Radical Islamist networks continue to threaten Americans, Hindus, Jews, and Christians alike.
  • States that sponsor terror still receive weapons and aid that reach hostile actors.
  • Weakness invites aggression; deterrence keeps the peace.
Where RHC stands
America, as leader of the free world, must combat radical Islamist terrorism, deny weapons to the states that sponsor it, and contain territorial aggression. Peace can only be maintained through strength, and through free nations standing together.
The RHC solution

What we’re fighting for.

  • Fully resource counterterrorism and a modern, capable military.
  • Condition security aid on real cooperation against terror, and end arms transfers that reach hostile actors.
  • Stand with India against cross-border terrorism and separatist violence.
  • Sanction and isolate regimes that threaten Americans and our allies.
