About this quote

Peace agreements remain fragile while nations preserve the machinery and incentives for large-scale war. The sentence reduces a complicated policy argument to a clear claim about durable security.

When to use it

• Rival states pair a ceasefire with verified reductions in weapons that could restart the conflict.
• Diplomats create inspection rules so promises of restraint can be trusted by every participating country.
• Citizens evaluate a peace proposal by whether it changes military capacity as well as public language.
