> can we stop acting like it's a choice

By 'it', I assume you mean war? Sure, right after we stop acting like all weapons are only ever used defensively.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out that the particular weapons being discussed here (precision targeting capabilities) are probably a lot more likely to be useful to an aggressor than to a defender.



Why would precision targeting be more useful to an aggressor than to a defender? In the last few months Ukraine has been achieving significant results with long-range precision drone strikes targeting a few key production facilities in Russia's military supply chains. If you can knock out the one factory that is the primary bottleneck for manufacturing a key weapons system then that acts as a serious force multiplier.


That's a fair point. However I was thinking of products designed to enable the targeting of individual humans.
