In fairness to Pierre, he’s been fairly consistent on two points:
  • Only nation states have the right to use force to achieve their objectives (and largely without restraint.)
  • Military force acts as a deterrent.

We’ve went round and round on the first, there’s no need to revisit.

On the second he’s largely right. For 99% of people it is a deterrent. The problem is that 1% of 1.6 million people is 16,000. Their still to be born children thousands more. October 7th was perpetrated by an estimated 3,000 Hamas fighters.
