Have you seen what happens to animal species that evolve on some island and one day an non native exotic animal is introduced? In a lot of cases that animal goes extinct. Even if we would all magically agree to never attack other counties and all dissolve our army’s, only 1 country has to break the packt and we all have a real chance to be invaded. If we are doing imaginary systems, I would suggest a system where we all agree to respect current borders and never invade and all also agree to fight any country that breaks the rule. Sort of a more global and more elaborate NATO.
Steelman argument: he’s speaking about militaries in general, not suggesting that one country disarms first.
If hypothetically Ukraine and Russia both disarmed at the same time, that would be wonderful.
We don’t live in hypothetical world.
We don’t??? Shit! Now we can’t talk about abstract concepts without getting dragged into irrelevant details.
