Do the Philippines get Ukraine there? We have a fantastic example of why you don’t disarm yourself to appease a country like China, Russia, Kiribati, and America.

That’s a terrible idea that we’ve seen play out countless times now.
Here’s how it will go down.
- Fool offers to disarm in exchange for a promise of peace from the aggressor
- Aggressor promises
- Fool disarms
- Aggressor aggresses

Salt II was a great idea since the USSR collapsed and nobody was getting paid to guard the nukes sitting in cardboard boxes. But then Putin took over, and Luigi missed his cue, and Navalny got executed for returning to Russia.
WMDs are great and all, but the real race is probably towards ICBM warhead / missile shields now that everyone has WMDs.
