I’m very curious as to what your suggested course of action would be if you were to “cut the military budget to 0”, and then another nation with a strong military uses their military to abuse or murder the citizens of your nation because they disagree with your nation in some way…
If your country has zero weapons and my country has some weapons, what’s your plan for stopping your country becoming an extension of mine, and your culture, language and history becoming lost forever?
Countries are invisible lines on the map to begin with. There are many ways to defend yourself that don’t involve spending billions of pubic money into military assets such as aircarriers or stealth planes.

You don’t need military budget to defend yourself. Governments need military budget to gain power and attack others.

Just make peace, it’s easy, just tell the invaders no, they will respect that and see the error of their ways.

Sorry: I’d mistaken you for a person using considered-reasoning.
Ideology doesn’t reason.
Its symbols are comforting substitutes for reason, & they’re enough, for it, right?
