Your thinking is beyond delusional.
Other than waging war what is the everyday use of tanks, artillery shells, nuclear submarines, grenades, bombs, high caliber bullets, biological and chemical weapons, flame throwers and Gatling guns? Just to name a few.
They are all just objects. Like pebbles or fallen branches.
Here... try this fun mental exercise.
Someone sends you flowers. No card or anything.
Next day someone sends you a spent 9 mm casing.
Did those flowers suddenly become a possible sinister threat or has that spent casing become romantic?
Feel free to switch the order those items come in.
One of them will always be a tool for killing humans.
Now for comparison, instead of a spent casing (which is totally NOT a weapon OR threatening in any way) - you get a smallish kitchen knife in the mail.
Or a hammer.
Used. Both.
For extra credit, try that fun exercise with people you know. See if they call cops on your ass.
Personally, I would prefer that the most powerful weapons be under the control of somebody who is, to at least some degree, on my side.
And your delusion just got a hilariously ironic selfish overtone.
Over a layer of distrust. To at least some degree.
"I don't really trust A to protect me from A but I'm fine with A having a huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction cause A claims it needs them to protect me from B.
So though I don't thrust A, I can't risk the chance that they may be right about B, cause that may, possibly, to at least some degree, somewhat endanger my ass.
Here A, have the biggest club in the world though I don't trust you with other things, you're perfectly safe with huge genocide creating clubs."
