Weapons can be used for defense or offense. Just be sure that you can sleep at night with the potential consequences - and that your work may be used on the wrong side just as easily as the right side.

On the other hand, if you’re working for an Israeli defense company, you can be pretty certain where your results are going to go, and should maybe just… not.

    Why would that matter? You think it’s alright to work for a company supplying the Palestinian genocide as long as you’re not working on that specific product line? British aerospace is pretty directly involved there so I’d set my standards a little higher personally.

    Nah, remember that Australia is “western”, Chile is not… I’m pretty sure Ukraine doesn’t qualify.
    
    US people have a great handling of geography.
