I don’t think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.
Meaning of the quote
You can't share your culture with other people by using guns or tanks. Culture is about the way people live, their traditions, and their beliefs. It's not something you can force on others through violence or military force. Instead, you need to share your culture peacefully, by talking to people, showing them your way of life, and learning from them as well.
