I’m sure the guys and girls would thank you for your vote of confidence.
Perhaps its it’s more likely that we have reached a situation of cascading mutually assured destruction.
We we all realise that there’s little point using nukes against people with nukes. It would seem equally futile nowadays to go up against a similarly equipped adversary in the air to air environment and probably in the ground environment as well, since it would always utilise the third dimension. I can’t speak for naval power but I could believe a similar scenario.
Perhaps, due to large multi national alliances the idea of a state vs state war is just far more unlikely than it ever was.
I’m not stupid enough to believe the planet will become a more peaceful place as time goes on (I’d say the exact opposite is true) but name me one country of a similar stature to ourselves that we could realistically see ourselves at war with on a 1 v 1 basis in the next 100 years.
