Interesting point, I too have a similar moral, but I don’t mind to do something for defense, no?

  Much like how one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter. One mans defense is another mans offense. Surely this microwave can be moved to the frontlines and as the frontline moves forward.

    You got a point, but going by that logic, as bladesmith, I should never make any knife because there’s always the possibility to be used the wrong way?

      Knife have dual purposes, military weapons have only one.

  It seems hard to guess based on the technology if something will be defensive or aggressive. I mean, silly example, but if you invent a suit of armor somebody will say “nice, now I can use my sword two handed, no need for a shield!” Maybe nukes.

    Exactly, I mean, if something is clearly will be used to kill or that’s the intention for, I can see the point, but what if it isn’t clear, what if your tool is used indirectly, say React framework which you are a big contributor to, is used to build a UI for X that you don’t agree with morally.. what’s the line here I’m curious?

  Neither Italy nor any of it's allies has fought a defensive war in the last 80 years. It's about weapon exports first and interfering around the globe. I have a huge moral problem with it, calling it "defense" is hiding it's a business to kill people.
