After months of partisan bickering and failed legislation, a new light shines in the darkness for global security. Following University of Kentucky Professor Marvin Lankford’s proposal of an unprecedented global security package, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have asked for a bipartisan effort to make it a reality.
The global security package focuses on both international and domestic needs. The plan involves a comprehensive strategy on foreign aid, international collaboration, and support for developing nations. It also aims to improve security in the US, through the use of modern technology, public safety operations, and border security.
The proposed global security package would involve several components. Firstly, both the U.S. government and international organizations would work together to strengthen international relations and support countries in need of economic and physical security. This would involve various diplomatic settlements and partnerships between nations and be the bridge to reduce military conflicts.
Secondly, the global security package would prioritize pro-active cyber defense measures to protect the personal data and communication of citizens and companies alike. This would involve the continued development of new technologies to combat cyberattacks and the development of an international agreement to ensure governments agree to a common set of standards in cybersecurity.
Thirdly, border control would be heightened to increase privacy and reduce the prevalence of human trafficking. This would involve tighter checks of all passengers entering the US as well as enhanced surveillance technology.
Finally, the transformation of public safety resources would be key. This would involve the investment of time and money into creating technology to improve safety in public places such as schools and shopping malls, as well as training for emergency services personnel so they are better equipped to handle a wide range of situations.
The global security package proposed by Lankford would bring unprecedented levels of security to both the U.S. and the rest of the world. And with support from both sides of the aisle, this package may just become a reality. Let’s wait and see.
