Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Increase

Populism is a diverse ideology that can lean either left or right, so it's difficult to generalize. However, some populist leaders have advocated for increased military spending to protect national sovereignty and security. For example, Donald Trump, a right-wing populist, has called for increased military spending in the United States.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Populism as an ideology does not have a specific stance on the current level of military spending. It would depend on the specific populist leader or movement and their priorities, which can vary greatly.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Populist movements tend to focus on national sovereignty and may be skeptical of supranational organizations or cooperation. Therefore, they might not be in favor of creating a European military defense system, as it could be seen as a loss of national control over defense. However, this stance may vary depending on the specific populist movement or leader.
