Both.
I love puns and word play and my blog and musical project are called "Weft over Warp" because those three little words allow me to fully encapsulate the unexpected outcome of WWII.
In making fabric, the threads that can be thought of as the vertical members are called the warp.
They are very strong , to stand the strain of being stretched on the loom and they never ever touch each other so they can be correctly viewed as being the stand-offish threads.
By contrast, the weft are those threads that horizontally connect all the standoffish warp members - vital to holding the fabric together.
That's all they do : 'only connect'.
They are also quite weak as thread goes and yet essential in holding the fabric together --- indeed their very weakness give the cloth extra flexibility , which also helps it survive as fabric.
So now let us look at the concept of "Warring upon the Weak", as applied to WWII.
That concept has been generally (and erroneously) limited to the Nazi project (Aktion T4) to kill off those mentally and physically handicapped among the German population.
