    Brother, I respect your principles but you’re not understanding the issue with having no military.

    First you would have to convince all countries in the world to cut all military budgets. Including convincing countries that would suffer economically from the extinction of the arms industry.

    And once all countries have 0 military, there is an incentive for aggressive leaders to produce weapons since it would be easy to win a war against an unarmed country

    Disarming a country is an impossible mission because it only works if the entire world agrees to it, and because it makes everyone vulnerable once someone decides to break the agreement.

    I hope you can see it clearly now. Unless you have a proposal that fixes the two points above, your 0 military plan would not work

    I’m happy to discuss more if you’d like

      Including convincing countries that would suffer economically from the extinction of the arms industry.

      This highlight that you are thinking only according to how the system currently work (or how you are told it works). No country would actually suffer economically if they cut off the arms industry because they can use the money and resources for something else.

      Countries are populated by people and humans can defend themself even without stealth planes or nuclear submarines. It’s the government that needs asset to exercise their power be it machines or people.
