    Making weapons is not evil. Unfortunately, we live in a world where nations start wars. You need to be able to protect yourself and your allies

      I disagree - it’s evil. I’m not saying we don’t need military and weapons but I’d say that if from all possibile ways of approaching this is making suicide drones is kinda evil.

      Imagine having all this status, money and arguably some real skill you choose to make weapons instead of any other alternative. That’s incredibly sad.

        Defending yourself is not evil. What’s happening in Ukraine is evil, because the US did not supply enough arms

          Small minded point of view. Imagine if those billions were spend productively to unite people rather than defence. I’m not saying no defence is necessary I’m just saying the other side is infinitely more efficient. We attribute diplomacy to one of the greatest human inventions not because it’s more ethical (it is) but because it literally allowed us to prosper to the point where we can sustain 7 billion people with objectively great lives for the most part.

            That didn’t get 155mm arty rounds to Ukraine.

            No amount of money can bring back people dying to Russian bombs.
