If Sophie C is not happy to have landmines then perhaps she and her friends would be happy to defend our territory with themselves. When push comes to shove no one will give up their lives and that of their families to arbitrary top down UN principles. I guess men are constantly aware of the possibility that some day they could be asked to go to war- I don't think that many women think in the same way- though there are many women that understand the sacrifices of there ancestors in their lives today. When remembering history men think "that could be me getting my leg cut off by a carpentry saw". Many countries have broken international weapons agreements- Nuclear Test/ Ballistic Missile are two examples. So I guess these views are not as "fringe" as you would think.

I find the peace lobby very one sided in their views on violence- (often preceding from a communist or social anarchist position)- in this they do much harm.

The enemy wants you to put down your guns. Sophie C probably embodies the enemy.

The naivety of the peaceniks has to be seen to be believed.

All we are saying - is give war a chance!

A nuclear ban treaty by a group of mostly minor countries that are never likely to have the capability to create nukes is like landlocked countries voting to ban fishing.

There is already a non-proliferation treaty which essentially says the same thing. This is virtue signalling on a global scale.
