Once that's taken care of, by having principles agreeable to by other nations. Coincidentally makes the defense much easier.
So your principles need to be based on values that are universal to just men. That there is a creator, and that he cares for his children, and wants them to prosper. Therefore do no harm to your neighbor, nor to his property. If you do, make full amends. Common law.
