How do you prevent yourself from being nuked ("just be nice" won't cut it)? I think mutually assured destruction has proven its merit at this point.

- mardifoufs 3y agoIraq and Afghanistan weren't about to nuke the US. I don't see the moral justification for work going into those wars, even if there is a possibility that it might not be used solely for invasions, imperialism and bombing weddings.
- hiatus 3y agoWe are talking about defense in this thread, not offense, but you are in a way proving my point. If Ukraine had nukes would Russia have invaded? Would the US have invaded Iraq if it had nukes?
- mardifoufs 3y agoWhat? The defense industry is not just for actual defense though, it's just a euphemism for military industry. Am I misunderstanding something?
- kspacewalk2 3y agoJust gonna point out a few options to prevent future invasions like Iraq and Afghanistan: 1) Elect politicians who will not invade Iraq and Afghanistan. 2) Don't have a military and hope you're not the next Iraq or Afghanistan.
