Any amount to make them stop developing arms that can destroy large numbers of my fellow citizens and allies. I don't give a fuck about their people more than mine. Fuck off or get fucked off. I'm under no obligation to let a known enemy gain the ability to harm me. Does that sufficiently answer your question?

Yes, it shows me that you are an intellectually lazy coward. Your resulting philosophical illiteracy allows you to be easily manipulated by whatever institution appears to be the strongest/smartest/quickest to annihilate what you fear. You support this rather than being driven by reason, curiosity, or any solid ethical foundation. You are a coward.
