The use of power have no needs, nor does it required to be justified by "logical evidence". It's only requirement is to have it and a choice to use it.

Isn't it a near perfect sleight-of-hand to subvert societies into celebrating weakness as the ultimate virtue, turning it into straight up a currency for power used to nuke a narrowly defined "anyone" from orbit?

Edit: Added 'narrowly defined' to the last sentence.
