Borders Quotes - Page 6

• En realidad, la expresión "seguridad nacional" apenas se utiliza hasta los años treinta. Y hay una razón. Para entonces, Estados Unidos empezaba a globalizarse. Antes de eso, Estados Unidos había sido sobre todo una potencia regional: Gran Bretaña era la mayor potencia mundial. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la seguridad nacional está en todas partes, porque básicamente éramos dueños del mundo, así que nuestra seguridad está amenazada en todas partes. No sólo en nuestras fronteras, sino en todas partes - por lo que hay que tener un millar de bases militares en todo el mundo para la "defensa".
