6. Peace Through Strength has been a motto for Naval aircraft carriers for quite a while.

From 1984:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Peace through strength" is a phrase that suggests that military power can help preserve peace. The concept has long been associated with realpolitik.[1] The idea has critics, with Andrew Bacevich stating, "'Peace through strength' easily enough becomes 'peace through war.'"
History

The concept may be said to date to ancient times. One scholar has described the Roman Emperor Hadrian (AD 76–138) as having sought "peace through strength or, failing that, peace through threat."[2]
United States

The first US president, George Washington, enunciated a policy of peace through strength in his fifth annual message to Congress, the 1793 State of the Union Address.[3][4] He said:

There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.[5]

In Federalist No. 24, Alexander Hamilton argued for peace through strength by stating that strong garrisons in the west and a navy in the east would help to deter potential conflicts with Britain, Spain and various Native American peoples.[6]

Peace Through Strength is the motto of the Eighth Air Force, established in 1944.

Peace Through Strength (1952) is the title of a book about a defense plan by Bernard Baruch, a World War II adviser to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, published by Farrar, Straus and Young.[7] For supporters of the MX missile in the 1970s, the missile symbolized "peace through strength."[8]

Pentagon strategist, Fritz G. A. Kraemer (1908-2003) was a prominent advocate of the "peace through strength" doctrine. For decades, he promoted this approach, arguing that a strong and credible military posture was essential to deter aggression and maintain peace.[9] "Peace Through Strength" is the official motto of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).[10]
Republican Party

During Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign in the United States, the Republican Party spent about $5 million on TV ads promoting Goldwater's foreign policy position of "Peace through Strength."[11] President Gerald Ford alluded to the concept in his 1977 State of the Union Address.[12] In 1980, Ronald Reagan, who had campaigned for Goldwater in 1964, used the phrase during his election challenge against Jimmy Carter by accusing the incumbent of weak, vacillating leadership that invited enemies to attack the United States and its allies.[13][14] Reagan later considered it one of the mainstays of his foreign policy as president.[15] In 1986, he explained it thus:

We know that peace is the condition under which mankind was meant to flourish. Yet peace does not exist of its own will. It depends on us, on our courage to build it and guard it and pass it on to future generations. George Washington's words may seem hard and cold today, but history has proven him right again and again. "To be prepared for war," he said, "is one of the most effective means of preserving peace." Well, to those who think strength provokes conflict, Will Rogers had his own answer. He said of the world heavyweight champion of his day: "I've never seen anyone insult Jack Dempsey."[16]

The approach has been credited for forcing the Soviet Union to lose the arms race and end the Cold War.[17] "Peace Through Strength" has continued to appear in every Republican Party platform since 1980.[18]
Taiwan

In Taiwan, "peace through strength" is a slogan of Taiwanese nationalism, meaning to emphasize Taiwan's sovereignty, strengthen its military power, and work with the United States and Japan to guard against possible aggression by the People's Republic of China.

Lai Ching-te, the eighth president of the Republic of China (Taiwan), emphasized "peace through strength" even before he became president.[19] On June 19, 2024, president Lai reiterated that "peace must rely on strength, which is to say avoiding war by preparing for war to achieve peace".[20]
United Kingdom

In remarks delivered regarding the Strategic Defence Review (2025), UK prime minister Keir Starmer said that the UK is moving to "warfighting readiness" in order to show potential adversaries that the country is "ready to deliver peace through strength."[21][22]


For Andrew Bacevich, "belief in the efficacy of military power almost inevitably breeds the temptation to put that power to work. 'Peace through strength' easily enough becomes 'peace through war.'"[23]

Jim George of Australian National University used the term to describe part of what he argued was the Straussian and neoconservative foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration.[24]

The mock inversion "strength through peace" has been used on occasion to draw criticism to the militaristic system of diplomacy advocated by "peace through strength".[25] Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich adopted the slogan "Strength Through Peace" during his 2008 presidential run as part of his platform as a peace candidate against the Iraq War.[26]
Trademark dispute

During Reagan's presidency, the non-profit American Security Council Foundation (ASCF) and its for-profit direct-mail provider, Communications Corporation of America, sought to influence United States foreign policy by promoting the idea, but after the Soviet collapse of 1991, ASCF fell into obscurity, and other organizations continued to promote the slogan.[27] The Heritage Foundation and the Center for Security Policy (CSP) have also used the term in print.[28] The ASCF registered a trademark for the phrase in April 2011.[29] In September 2012, ASCF filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against CSP and Frank Gaffney,[30] prompting the Washington City Paper to ridicule ASCF's Director of Operations, Gary James, for editing the online encyclopedia Wikipedia article titled 'Peace through strength' so that it was "drenched in ... ASCF references".[31] Following a counterclaim by the CSP alleging that the trademark application had been fraudulent, in August 2013 the ACSF announced that it had settled the lawsuit with the CSP and would cancel its trademark claim.[32]


Maybe this all is a tempest in a teapot.

11. I've noticed that the "conspicuous cross" has been missing lately...

...when Leavitt makes an appearance. Guilty conscience?

Sometimes Leavitt's cross goes missing for days, which makes its absence even more obvious, since the one she usually wears appears to be several times larger than McEnany's. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why she doesn't wear it. My hope is that it's the result of a guilty conscience, but that's certainly wishful thinking on my part. Lately I've noticed that Leavitt has been wearing a much smaller cross similar to the one McEnany wears.

My favorite was her explanation of what "Habeas Corpus" means. She pulled that our of some nether orifice on the spot, and got it 100% wrong.

She's proud of her flatfooted ignorance. She apparently has never heard of Google, either.

Next, she'll invent the slogan, "Gott mit uns" and attribute that to Herr Drumph, as well.

Here's the slogan I'm wearing these days:
