If everyone loses but you lose less than the people you don’t like, does that make you a winner?

When an aggressor loses their weapons, everyone else is a winner, yes.

Is open research a weapon? I think there are many more things the US spends its money on that could be argued to be weapons, much more convincingly than publicly accessible research.

MIT is not a weapon. The scientific community is not an aggressor.

The US is an aggressor. The research conducted in MIT and elsewhere in the US is literally used for weapons.
