>>What stopped Soviet tanks from rolling into West Berlin? It wasn’t a brigade of huggable teddy bears.
The same thing that stops them now, nuclear weapons, huge military and NATO. No one is suggesting to not have defense or to stop spending money on defense. US already spends more on defense than next 10 countries in the list combined, most of which are US allies [1]. There is no need to spend more.
Evil and conflict are as old as humans themselves. To suggest otherwise is to misunderstand human nature.
