That sounds very noble and idealistic, but have you really thought that through?

Don’t sell arms to any third world country (do we still use that?)? So you would deny them the means to defend themselves? And of course that would need all countries to do the same. Good luck persuading China, Russia, France etc with that.

But my main question - you seem to suggest they could pay the west to defend them? Really, or have I misunderstood?
