      Working in that industry you’re creating food. It’s purpose is to nourish people. Working in an industry that makes weapons to harm, and kill is intrinsically different.

        Do you believe that a nation has no need for weapons?

        Or rather is it immoral for a nation to keep and equip a defence force?

          If you know that your nation is going to use the weapons for imperialism (as America Russia and China do) they in fact need less weapons.

            What imperialism is America doing currently?

            But besides that, even if your nation is doing imperialist things surely you would agree that maintaining an army to not get your country absolutely destroyed by any other country at any time is valid

                In what world are those imperialist projects? Can you qualify that in some way? Let’s go with 1, say Pakistan

                  Pakistan has their government overthrown by an American backed military dictatorship to give mortar shells to Ukraine.

                  DRC gets supplied with weapons by America for its internal wars.

                    I can’t find any solid evidence for this Pakistan claim. I see that an anonymous source reached out to one outlet, but I haven’t found anything to corroborate Seems a bit tenuous thus far. Do you have any evidence you’ve seen in particular?
