Yes, but just like in an actual arms race, we don't know if this can evolve in a winner takes all scenario very quickly and literally.

In an actual arms race you use your arms to actually physically wipe out your enemy.

It's not just like an arms race.

Well, an "arms race" doesn't always involve using the arms. For example, the Cold War was an arms race, but it was focused on the stockpiling of nuclear weapons, not their actual use.
