Interesting post, as you mentioned the nuclear option has made war on a world wide scale impossible. That has not stopped more than a half century of war by proxy.
The question now is: Who are the bad guys? What is right?
Lately most of the war has been devoted to removing oppressors, through ouside action or internal action. In the end it remains a struggle for individual justice and rights.
It is really the human monster that presents the greatest threat, and that threat may appear anytime and in any place.
“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”
― Heraclitus
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
