That is basically redefining the word defense, though.
I can’t be like “it was self defense” if I beat somebody up because they are getting too big at the gym and they could beat me up later if I don’t beat them up first.
That doesn’t mean such a thing is never ever justified, in international relations, it just ain’t “defense”.
If they keep saying “DEATH TO PFANNKUCHEN” it is not smart for you not to beat them up first.
Why would you let them get strong? Just so they kill you and your family? You don’t seem to care about yourself nor about your family enough.

I guess that dogemaster2026 wanted to express this in a little bit more indirect way. :-)
