  Unfortunately this is basic game theory, so the “smart” thing is to have the weapons, but avoid war.

  Once we’ve grown past war, we can disarm, but it couldn’t happen in the opposite order.

    But what until then? Your ideas do not provide any solutions. You just say that it is unavoidable as it is.

      Because there’s no solution that we know of.

      I don’t think I’m smart enough to solve “world peace” lol.

    The process of collective disarming is the path towards growing past war. And that first step is the collective banning of manufacturing such weapons.

      I disagree. War isn’t caused by weapons. It’s caused by racism, religious strife, economic hardship, natural resource exploitation, and more. Those need fixed before anyone will be willing to put away their weapons.

        War isn’t caused by weapons.

        It’s enabled by weapons.

        And there are people who want to use weapons when they exist, simply because they exist.

        Life doesn’t adhere to waterfall methodology: we don’t have to do one first, and then the other. We can progressively disarm as we’re addressing the problems you mentioned…
