The distinction here is not between offensive and defensive weapons, as if one type served only defence and another only offence. All weapons will serve both purposes in some degree. The distinction rather is between those weapons the removal of which from all of a group of nations would reduce their ability to attack one another, e.g. tanks, and on the other hand weapons the removal of which would, by this criterion, be neutral or negative, meaning it would weaken the ability of all in the group of nations to defend themselves, e.g. the outlawing of anti-tank weapons. For a more complete discussion see Robert Neild, An Essay on Strategy, pp. 74–78 and 142–144.
