Nobody is suggesting that anyone should be banned from anything or be prevented from contributing.
The question is whether arms dealers should be able to run ads on the nix foundation.
I personally do not think that they should.
However, if a majority truly is in favour of an “apolitical” arms-dealer-friendly stance, I would repeat my suggestion from last time around:
Acutally follow through and own that, making bank in the process. Just taking on one US dealer is not only short sighted and way too political - it is leaving so much shooty-shooty-boom-boom cash on the table.
To name a few, both the Chinese & Russian sectors would be very interested in having visibility, a presence, and undoubtably pay significantly for the priviledge. Failing to explicitly invite them would be a disgrace.
I have more ideas for other opportunities & sectors if this is the path chosen.
