Seems an odd policy to me; we can't be sure how relations will stand in the long term, though they profess a peaceful desire to be left alone. Lets attack them now as war is inevitable
I mean, I get that if all-out war is inevitable you might want to instigate the fight in your terms to ensure minimum casualties for your side, but that policy really only holds water if this war is wholly inevitable
They have, independently, constructed Legion so as to make contact with organics, so they are in no way beyond diplomacy. Indeed, although the Geth undoubtedly have a very different mindset, the most stark difference in outcome observable thus far is that they allowed the Heretics to leave, a more peaceful and diplomatic reaction than many organics would have
The professed aims of the true geth is to, in isolation, enter some form of shared consciousness (which has been likened to a Dyson sphere). That does not concern organic species. Furthermore, they consider leeching off the technology of others as the wrong direction to take, as such they are unlikely to see much interest in our technology or the Citadel
My point is that our best understanding of the True Geth raises no concerns for future conflict, except that they reach different conclusions to us, and in a different manner (and past disagreements in the geth have been peaceful). To wipe them out for fear that one day, for some reason, they might attack us, seems somewhat baseless
Well no I'm not saying that is what will happen, nor I am sure they will attack organics. I'm just guessing and bringing up possibilities. I don't think attacking the geth willing to exterminate them "to be safe" is the solution.
What I think it's they really are a threat. They should be seen as that. They're not like tame dogs. They were created by the quarians with a purpose (servitude) and they rebelled. They can be reprogramed or conviced (sovereign) and look at the consequences.
What I mean is coexistance is a difficult option. And the no-coexistance (or isolation) you're suggesting won't work in my opinion. Therefore I don't know what could be the solution but I think it should be something that satisfaces both ways. And since I think that would probably giving advanced tech to the geth and seeing that organics don't have that, the chances they would actually take the upper hand at the least oportunity and try to destroy organics increase greatly.
They are dangerous. Everything about them is dangerous. They hack technology easily, reproduce easily and are very hard to kill. They also share thoughts and data at the speed of light.
And why would they restrict themselves to peaceful coexistance when they can take the upper hand?
I think if they were ever to build a consensus they could see exterminig the other races as a viable option.
Therefore they can be considered threat, abominations of nature, or whatever you want to call them.
Also what organic species would agree to coexist and consider as equal individuals a bunch of machines? Little.
