Here’s a great idea: let’s not produce any weapons and disarm unilaterally. What could go wrong?

The good guys. Define them as you like.

How about we split the difference and only cut two thirds of all military spending? We would still be pouring more money into it than any country on earth.

There will still be people working for arms companies. All of them will deserve hell?

If we cut back that much, then we wouldn’t be able to fuel nearly as much death and destruction around the globe. But, not to worry, I’m sure we could still find enough evil to do to both satisfy your desire for blood and to earn the people responsible a cozy little spot in Hell, yes.

Where did you get my desire for blood from? All I’m saying is that the same arms companies make weapons that fall in Gaza and that protect Europe. You can’t have one but not the other. It’s up to politicians to decide how to use those weapons, not engineers.

The US could cut its arsenal by 90% and still have nothing to fear from anyone. That shit isn’t for defense it’s to threaten the rest of the world.
