Donuel BS: Hamas attacks Israel (284* d) RE: BS: Hamas attacks Israel 23 Oct 23

Deterrence is an important tactic for war and its prevention.
I see that mutual assured destruction is the only pain avoidance strategy but what about non-lethal actual ultimate pain being used as a deterrence?

Using an ultimate pain venom for humans that morphine can not diminish and only an induced coma could relieve, might be a deterrence. PTSD and suicide would probably be an outcome so it is not truly non-lethal. Call it fact or fiction but a 'non-lethal' weapon that induces suffering without measure may have a place in our future.

A synthetic hybrid version of Platypus venom combined with fire ant venom may be a candidate for such a weapon. Is the concept of ultimate pain an evil or a potential good considering the alternatives?
jus thinkin outside the box.
