It's 2 different statements. The first is true, even if you don't like it. The "therefore" is something you completely made up to make your point and imply something I neither said nor suggested.
You might not like it either but an arm race isn't new. The tools changed but competition, and thus threats, remain.
I agree with you, but argue with the form of the person we both replied to. Alhough I would prefer universal peace and international morality, I maintain a generally neutral position on nuclear arms. I am also neutral on the evergreen innocent idiocies of youthfulness.
