A shield is a device used for defense;
It blocks incoming attacks, evading blows.
-
A weapon is a device used for offense;
It performs attacks, which may be blocked by a shield.
-
Shields and weapons are not interchangeable.
A shield is not a weapon.
A weapon is not a shield.
-
When a weapon is used preemptively,
We call it aggression.
-
In the face of aggression,
A weapon used as a shield,
Is called
Revenge.
-
It may be right,
It may be justified,
But it will never keep you safe.
-
Nuclear deterrent.
-
A fine weapon,
But a poor excuse for a shield.
