  1. Not realy advanced more like froze, borders and nations have barely changed since the collapse of the USSR, this is not a system that can go on forever and it's very disfunctional long term.

  2.  @danielsteger8456  you assume human beings, societies and religions are way more rational than they tend to be and remember im saying this in the long term, long term as in between now 100 years + I never said that if it only destroys 85% then wars would suddenly happen, you are saying that, I'm saying bringing that number down to 0-1% would make that event far more likely and as technology keeps advancing the idea that nothing will ever stop an ICBM is the same logic people used in ww1 thinking nothing is ever going to outshine the horse or the rifle armed soldier, today we have things like advanced AI, robotics, next generation fighters, let alone in the near future, the USA alone and Israel have advanced missle defence systems and are trying to develop better ones, it's not hard to imagine at some point the defence and counter attack systems become better than the ICBM's used today, we are simply extending the usefullness of ICBM's by making them faster, what happens when someone goes into space and places weapons like it above the world's head? it just seems naive to think this can go on forever. as for child sitting in front of the tv, that sounds more like you, trying to make childish insults and comparing real rogue nuclear states (which already exist today) aren't going to become a more common thing, you might not know this but places in the middle east might consider getting nukes if Iran gets them, Japan could become a nuclear power because of the threat of China, India and Pakistan also have nukes and hate eachother the only thing that's preventing them from engaging in open warfare is the USA world system and the fact that they aren't sure if they would win such a conflict, now add in potential new players or terrorists gaining the ability to make nukes or weapons like it and you could see a world that spirals into desperation, fear and thus irrational behavior. everyone knew going into ww1 and ww2 would destroy most of their own and enemy nations and they had plenty of people saying the people on the top that would be the case and they went along with it anyways because that is the nature of human civilization and how wars happen, most of human history is waging wars or preparing for the next war, the only time this did not happen is when one side becomes so powerfull that forces others to not wage wars, as the USA becomes less powerfull, other nations catching up to them and more internal problems keep dividing people that will lead to more irrational governments and you only need a few of them to do something stupid to start a world war or just a large global conflict on a smaller scale. some religions have death cults in them or end of the world visions of the future, for them killing everything and everyone is the goal, most of the world is becoming more nihilistic and out competed or controled by technology, the idea that such cults and religions would not rise to some degree again is very naive. now look if you don't care about any of this and want to pretend like this little bubble is going to work forever then go ahead, I just think it's very naive and will probably not be very usefull to have when shit hits the fan.

  3.  @danielsteger8456  not sure what you mean, I´m saying borders aren´t changing much anymore due to the nature of mutually assured destruction, two things can happen long term with this system in place. 1. the deterrent breaks down due to new technology be it defence based or offensive, in the process making war seem more likely as result. 2. the threat of losing power and desperation or fanaticism of ideology or religion causes the rise of irrational governments to risk nuclear war despite the immense losses for everyone involved. there is no way to avoid one of these things from happening long term and people are not aware of them, governments too are becoming to used to the long peace and simply assume nuclear war is impossible when in reality more nations than ever have them and some have even gone missing, we should pray that option 1 happens and we just have a massive war instead of allowing option 2 to become a reality. thinking this current system can go on or will go on forever, is delusional and naive.

  4.  @danielsteger8456  btw you put a lot of faith in the military, when it's made up of emotional people and irrational actors. Also religions are only dying in the west, the rest of the world is not, nor does that not give rise to ideologies like I mentioned before, history proves this again and again.

  5. One day some nation will find a way to stop ICBM's from being used and then nukes will become useless and wars might become more common.

  6.  @gustavocarmo2500  like the art of war? Or Clausowitz? Was there not that american general who started acting silly and wanted to learn and understand "white rage"? If that's my competition, then I'm pretty sure I know more than he does. I never even said I know more than all the generals or elitist people in the world, So far all you do is make childish insults and not provide any rational arguments, in fact you appear as a common troll, trying to get attention, if that was your goal, then good job but you aren't that impressive in an argument if that was your goal.

  7.  @gustavocarmo2500  you do realise im talking about the political and strategy parts of the military right? If you look at the US military command upper levels some of the things they do is clownish and stupid, they make constant mistakes or write mission strategies that fail and fail hard while costing the USA trillions of dollars, gains nothing and in fact allows their enemies to grow bigger and faster, while their allies question if they should rely on the USA at all. If you compare those people at the top and some of the clowns in the military industrial complex with say the marines, the navy or the army they are way more competent and focused on results, the US marines esspecialy are some of the most competent, drilled and amasing elite soldiers in the world but would they be able to make a global wide strategy that would secure the interests of politicians and their corporate buddies? Of course not, they are there for the nation, to serve, basically to obey orders, hopefully because they just love the country so much but sometimes, it's more so the lack of other options or skills to thrive elsewhere and there is nothing wrong with that. I don't think you are much of an adult if you can't understand what I'm saying, feel free to disagree but I'm not the one throwing insults.
