'refuse to compromise' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'put plaything with the weapons we've obtained' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'put' could be 'stick' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'stick' is found within the answer.
'plaything' could be 'toy' (synonyms) and 'toy' is present in the answer.
'weapons' could be 'guns' (gun is a kind of weapon) and 'guns' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'our' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.
