In the world we live in weapons are never used for defense but mostly for attack. We have even more reasons to ditch weapons in the world we live in rather than in an ideal world where world leaders aren’t corrupted politicians tripping on power
Ukraine is in a defensive war right now. Afghanistan was in a defensive war with the US, as was Iraq. WW2 most of Eastern Europe was in a defensive war with Germany.
South Korea was in a defensive war with North Korea.
Like I guess you’re right if you ignore all of history lol.
You just tricked yourself. If they are in a defensive war like you said then there must also be an attacker. In all the cases you mentioned the faction attacking is armed with way more weapons being used for attack. This highlight exactly what i’m saying, which is that weapons are mostly made for attack not for defense.
South Korea was in a defensive war with North Korea.
In the same way the confederacy was in a defensive with the US, that is, sure, but in both cases the north was completely justified on liberatory grounds
As an American, it’s 2023 we should never need weapons. Diplomacy should be the only option.
Unfortunately, many of our international contemporaries disagree. And as long as we do, we need something in case diplomacy fails.
Ukraine trusted diplomacy when they gave their nukes to Russia.
I’m sure russia would care a lot about your strongly worded letter if they decided to take Alaska back.
Russians would manage to freeze to death trying.
Yeah, that’s why they have 4 waves ready. The first freezes, the second freezes, the third doesn’t show up but the fourth will take Alaska.
They have 4 waves of men to throw at a front?
Where are they? Because they aren’t in Ukraine…
They’re there… err… the remains are, at least.
Still under the illusion they’re not next on the conscription list.
In an ideal world I’d agree, but that’s not what we live in

Absolute smoothbrain take

Diplomacy backed by what? “Diplomacy” with no leverage is ink on worthless paper, there needs to be some kind of reason anyone should listen to you.

I fear, It is too deep in your culture and business.
I’d say more that it’s too shallow in everyone else’s. That’s why we’ve been leaning on them for all the scary tanks-and-bombs stuff.
