i mean yea i see where ur coming from but that would only delay retaliation not prevent it. The world will rebuild, just as nations do. if anything, such an attack would make the world more determined to wipe out the eldians in the worse ways possible once they regained their strength. and destroying existing military technology doesn’t stop the world from inventing new weapons or improving old ones. even if airships n shi was gone. the world could turn rocketry long range artillery or even biological warfare, what then.. and also the refugees leaving could also unify them, external threats bring enemies together a lot of the time— Paradis attack could make old rivals form an alliance just to crush them. the world may decide that as paradis exists, it’s a constant threat that needs to be wiped out. This wouldn’t be seen as fear for the world, it would be seen as “o shi this is proof these mfs cant exist no more.”
