In an ideal world I’d agree, but that’s not what we live in

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

What the fuck are you talking about?

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.

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
