The reärmament drive is scary, we need to see more popular pushback against this.
If all you have to offer is "weapons are bad,war is bad", you need to think about the consequences of not re-arming. The world has relied on America to be the one that is heavily armed so that we can all sit here in Europe and pretend that we don't need weapons and war is bad. We got to feel morally superior and peace loving but in reality we had the biggest kid in the playground on call whenever trouble showed it's face.
It reminds me of a friend I used to know who told everyone he didn't wear a watch because he didn't need one. He spent all day asking everyone else what the time was. So he did need a watch, it just wasn't on his wrist.
So when you have a country like Russia invading neighbours and threatening others with their weapons and you don't have any, what is your solution?
Just to reiterate, I don't like the fact that weapons are necessary but I will take the lesser of two evils because in one of them, I might not exist anymore.
I too don't like weapons and war, but every time I see someone arguing that weapons aren't necessary if you aren't aggressive, I think of Lindesfarne .
