In politics, promises - Hannah Arendt

From the introduction of the book we read: "If the sole concern of politics in fact is foreign policy, or the danger lurking around nations, then the intention was no more and no less than what Klauswitz's phrase that war is the continuation of politics by other means became inverted to say that politics is nothing but the continuation of war, where means of force are exchanged through it from time to time with means of cunning. And from here, one can deny that the conditions of the arms race we live in and under which we must live, at least show us that Kant's phrase, which states that something must happen during war that would make a subsequent peace impossible, has similarly been turned upside down, to the extent that we live in a peace where nothing remains but to make a subsequent war possible."
