Peace Through Prosperity, Not Military Dominance
The Western Hemisphere Alliance transforms US foreign policy from military dominance to economic partnership. Instead of spending $850B/year on global military presence, we invest $100B/year in hemisphere development—creating prosperity at the source of immigration, building integrated markets, and achieving genuine security through shared success.
China understood this first.
Belt and Road Initiative: $1 trillion in infrastructure across 70 countries. No shots fired. Influence purchased through prosperity. While the US spent $8 trillion on Middle East wars, China built ports, roads, and power plants across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
