That is an interesting question, very far from my daily concern and brings dilemmas when I think about it. My response would probably be "I don’t know".

However Anthropic situation is very different: there’s no ongoing invasion of the USA, and they traditionally attack other countries once in a while (no judgment) so the weapons upgrade will be "useful" on the field.
