That's how interaction works among nations who apire towards peace. That is not how power works, which is the fundemantal downfall with that type of ideology. You can't defend against a sword with words and gifts, and as long as swords remain, there will always be someone willing to use them. For example, at some point in the future a nuclear bomb will be used to again.... history just hasn't provided the opportunity yet. |
Yes, but the current positioning of the USA enables threat of force rather than it's actual use as a sufficient deterrent
It is clear in Iran's case that popular will against the regime's more extreme elements exist, and that by deterring their use of force with threat of force while promoting development towards the people itself, the extremists can be marginalized
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
