此6項國策實際上是6個動詞組成, to preserve and promote, to declare, to make clear, to consider, to provide and to maintain.

目前軍售arms sell 引起關注, 關係法上說, 提供防禦性武器給臺灣人民；但有趣的是, 其中, provide with – 我上網查好幾遍, 最合理的中譯意思是: 提供(需要的)。 這個英語熟語  “不一定” 要收費, 有free of charge 的意味, 所謂提供, 有租的,有借的,有賣的,有送的,有轉移的,有共享的,有免費的..etc, 不一而足, 萬一生死攸關時, 也就是說, 必要時, (免費)提供防禦性武器給臺灣人民, 因為如果一定要金錢的, 必然用 to sell , 應明確改為to sell arms of a defensive character to Taiwan, 銷售防禦性武器給臺灣人民, 但上面6個動都沒有用to sell, 真有趣!

所以, 反對軍售台灣是有困難的, 因為”提供武器”是國策, 又有很多方式做, 有明做有暗做, 除非美國放棄西太平洋的利益, 或美國國力已衰弱到亡國的地步, 總之, 任何非和平形式的威脅包括經濟杯葛,封鎖, 都是美國所嚴重關切的；飛彈只是非和平形式的威脅的工具, 如果可以交換軍售, 好像有點超過。
