Just as an FYI - the article was removed from the cross-posted source for not meeting quality standards.

What counts as an “offensive weapon”? Are nuclear weapons ok since they’re defensive? To me, this reads like they want the US out. I don’t blame them, but the reasoning in the article is shaky at best.

Not updating on my end, I still see it as a normal post.

What makes a weapon solely offensive?

It doesn’t need to be solely offensive, just offensive.

What’s an example of a defensive weapon that can’t be used offensively?
