I wonder what would happen if we didn't have a military at all

This is what I look like when listening to the new Gorillaz album.

We wouldn't see images like the Iranian girl's rucksack smeared with blood.

Thats the trick. If a country doesn't have a military and they have something like resources other countries want. The become puppets of the countries that have militaries. The exceptions are small countries that don't have enough of anything anyone wants for others to bother taking it. They don't tend to do so well usually.

It's a race to the bottom.

So what you're saying is... superpower nations shouldn't exist

[-] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

but they do. And now it is just a game of brinksmanshit

Correct. If there is one, then others have to exist to balance them out. Only with none can we all exist without militaries. And that really should be a goal.
