It's disappointing to see that somebody can get this far in a tech career and have such naïveté.
Every industrial power of every faction and alignment builds "devastating weapons" to hurt their immediate neighbours as a defensive strategy, in order to make attacking them too risky. It's the equivalent of a hedgehog's spines and there isn't an industrial country without them.
Slogans, meanwhile, are just bluffs (lies) to hype up the populace, regardless of who makes them.
These facts apply to every side of every geopolitical dispute in human history. Consider this diagram: http://i.imgur.com/IwCXBXY.jpg
