To justify foreign intervention to a non-interventionist base, Vance connects military action against Iran to stabilizing global energy markets. He argues the alternative—inaction—would create a worldwide energy crisis, directly harming Americans at home.
Vance argues that AI companies creating potentially dangerous models have a responsibility to build and release defensive countermeasures. He views their calls for government regulation as an attempt to shirk this responsibility, rather than a genuine safety effort.
