Otherwise it reminds me of the nonsense during the Cold War that wanted the US to get rid of its nuclear weapons knowing full well that everybody else wouldn’t.

1. US had more than enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world. Necessary?
2. Stop thinking in terms of one human lifetime. If the US is nuked and retaliates there is no human life left on earth. If the US is nuked and can’t retaliate that sucks for the US but human life continues on earth. One of these is, to me, clearly a better outcome (despite living in the US). And if a world without humans is more desirable to you than a world without the US then I have to question your priorities a little.
