"الواجب الأول للسيادة، وهو حماية المجتمع من العنف والغزو من قبل المجتمعات المستقلة الأخرى، يمكن أداؤه فقط بواسطة قوة عسكرية."
Simplified meaning
To keep people safe from attacks or threats from other groups, a leader needs to have an army. Just like a homeowner needs a strong lock to protect the house from burglars, a country needs soldiers to guard against invaders. Imagine living in a small village; if there were no guards or defenses, anyone could come and cause harm. The leader’s job is to make sure this doesn’t happen by organizing and maintaining a military. This is like how a parent must ensure their family is safe by locking doors and teaching children not to talk to strangers. In the same way, a leader uses the military to ensure the safety and security of the whole society.
