Move away from oil @The Electric Lizard
If they start acting up
Like we are
We can stop the supply of parts
And cripple their fleet
Just stop selling any weapons to the Middle East
No
Honestly it's a idealistic stance
If everyone stopped selling weapons the wars and conflicts would be reduced significantly
You havtlnt thought of the ramifications
They'd just make their own @The Electric Lizard
And i am a Utopian so what do you expect @Joshu
If everyone gave up nukes the sunshine and rainbows would be here too
@Weez They would but they couldn't make as many
Sunshine and rainbows don't exist
Wouldn't need to @The Electric Lizard
Put down your weapon and you get shot
Less weapons = less wars and conflicts
The opposition would have less as well. @The Electric Lizard
There's no evidence of that @The Electric Lizard
Imagine stopping the sale of arms, thus making supply lower, thus increasing the profits of other countries.
This is all based on the premise that if we stopped we could convince china
Or russian
We cant
What are they just going to have a war where there soldiers just run into battle unarmed? @Weez
They would see us stop, rub their hands
And make money
We've always had weapons throughout history @The Electric Lizard
<:brainlet:505799727657254922>
If they had to make their own weapons there couldn't be as many conflicts
It's better to be king of the shit pile
>Melee weapons
Than crushed by it

Do you think the Saudis could invade Yemen as easily if the US didn't sell them weapons to do it for instance?
No but the Russians would sell them weapons.
@The Electric Lizard They'd just get it elsewhere, you imbecile.
And the west would have lost an ally in the middle east
That's why we should try to stop all weapons being sold there
Which would have weakened our position
