Summary

This quote suggests that violence is losing its effectiveness as a tool in international relations, becoming increasingly uncertain and questionable. However, paradoxically, violence is gaining reputation and appeal within domestic affairs, particularly in the context of revolutions. While countries may be hesitant to resort to violent means when dealing with other nations, within their own borders, violence is seen as a more desirable and influential method for bringing about significant change and addressing societal issues. This contradiction highlights the complex and contradictory nature of violence and its role in different contexts.
