Left Wing or Right?

in blurtlife •  3 years ago 

Just a few minutes ago I read on the Guardian that some Nobel prize winners are asking for every country in the world to reduce their military budgets. I always found it kind of dumb during the cold war each side spending more and more making the other side spend the same amount to in the end reach a stalemate, if one attacked the other it was the end of the world. Would it not have been the same not to spend anything? I mean you were spending on weapons you knew you would never use. Looks like the elites main money horse is making countries and people buy weapons.

There's definitely a point to be made about how much is spent on weapons, but to spend nothing on weapons would also leave a country vulnerable for invasion as one country starts to secretly stockpile while the rest are unaware. I keep a gun near my bed. I don't need a stockpile...I just need one. That's how I see it anyway.

I don't use guns, probably shoot myself instead of whom I intend to shoot. I have no problem with guns, if you can use them and want one, have one, we can legally have three here in Honduras. In the rural areas there are literally tens of thousands of AK47, don't know if they are still working they are left overs from Nicaragua, but I guess most do work they are supposed to be nearly indestructible.
