There were three guys with sticks. China couldn’t project power far but Soviet-Sino relations were strained and the risk of war was high because they share borders.
I’d love for there to be a world with no sticks period but humanity is a long way from that. Europe becoming the forth guy with a stick could force everyone else, and especially Russia, to be more cautious. And if it comes to blows, the EU/UK are gonna want to have that stick.
If you’re EU/UK and multiple parties are around you with big sticks, would you rather be defenseless or have a stick?
Every one entering into a new stick race won’t get us there any quicker sadly. Stick sellers on the other hand look forward to a bright and prosperous future.
I think more sticks in a time of climate collapse is a recipe for disaster. I’d prefer to see our governments commit to pumping co2 out of the atmosphere instead of enriching the local stick merchant.
In that instance there were only two guys with sticks, if I understood you correctly you want to add another stick to the mix.

I see myself as a pacifist.
Hopefully we reach a war-free era in the not so distant future and humanity prospers.

True, sticks won’t bring about world peace on their own. Might save Europe from getting whacked for now.
