- Yes, but the show leads us to assume that.That's how you tell a story. It doesn't mean non-benders have less 'rights', but they certainly have less 'opportunity'.

- It's not stupid- Korra is the Avatar, or did you forget? If she couldn't reverse the damage caused by a single bloodbender, what good would she be. If you think that it's stupid, find, that's your opinion- but it was certainly explained, so this point is silly.

- Of course they wouldn't surrender, but it would be the psychological devastation. The Avatar is the spirit of the world, and the central figure in the world's religion, the bridge between the spirit world and the regular world. If you need a comparison, imagine if the Dalai Lama was tortured and imprisoned by China- what would that do to Tibetan independance? So, this point is silly.

- Actually, I'm sorry you can't grasp this, but no other nation can be the first to declare war against the United Republic. It's part of their (very binding) treaties, and unless the nations want to repeat the 100 years war, if they ever wanted war, they would need to spend months negotiating loopholes.

If you need a comparison, imagine if Japan declared that it was rebuilding its military in order to declare war on North Korea. Obviously, given that Japan has signed into its constitution the inability to 'use war, or the threat of war, as a tool of diplomacy' in cannot, under no circumstances, do this. It's just not an option. So, this point is silly.

- Okay, you're right. If Amon declares war on his neighbours before his military is ready, he will lose. If he is wise, and bides his time, victory would be very much in his grasp.

But, your other point, the 'technology can be copied' one, is silly. When the United States invaded Afghanistan using tanks, advanced helicopters, and modern weapons, did you see the Taliban respond by 'copying' this technology, or were they just incapable of such organized resistance? Or how about during Vietnam? Or how about during Iraq? It takes more than a single broken plane to reproduce incredibly advanced weapons.
