>But don't tell me you can be so naive as to believe that the U.S. military is a defensive

I am not. Every country is corrupt, and war makes a lot of money for powerful people, but does it justify sabotaging your own existence?

Literally yes. If you justify harming others out of nowhere by ‘sabotaging your own existence’ then yes.

‘Sabotaging your own existence’ is a magic sentence that can justify everything. Israel can kill children more than any other nation in the world, and justify it by ‘not sabotaging their own existence’

Anyone can do anything with this perspective. This is the exact point gere. Pull yourself back, if you are about to ‘not sabotage your own existence’ by simply killing innocent civilians because you believe a computer algorithm told you in about 15 years they or their children might do something harmful.
