"That being said, today the world is in extreme danger. War is still man killing each other in the most awful ways. Why? Like I said, it is in our nature. Our carnal nature. We can only hope that sanity with trump insanity."
The world is bristling with strong armies right now. Who has the strongest? Even though Biden and company have tried to "woke" our military into a bunch of "Karen" type soldiers, by all standards, we still have the most powerful army in the world. Hands down. The number 2 and 3 armies are the problem for us. Russia and China. And China might soon eclipse Russia in having the second most powerful in the world. If we are not careful, before long they will be number 1.
But - when it comes to sheer numbers, China is number 1. India is number 2, and the United States is number 3. There is very little correlation with the most powerful nations, and the nations with the largest armies. As technologies expand, soon there will be even less of a correlation. Why? AI and robotics. I dare say in ten years, the battlefield will look quite a bit different.
BTW - a "real" version of Star Wars (for the US) is about ready to go. What can defeat a hypersonic missile traveling at Mach 7? A laser beam, traveling at the speed of light. Lasers are going to completely change the ABM field. And lasers will be on planes, on ships, and shore installations.
Back in the 1980's one of Ronald Reagan's dreams was to develop a Star Wars system which would knock out any incoming missile. It is rumored that Reagan said, once we developed it, he wanted to share it with the world. Why? He wanted nuclear war to become obsolete. I agree with him. Nuclear war should be obsolete. A world decimated by a nuclear exchange would not be suitable for neither man nor beast to live in.
Mechanized soldiers fighting mechanized soldiers. Missiles unable to be delivered. These are things which are within our reach in the not too distant future. But don't worry - it is man's evil nature to figure out new ways to kill each other. From cudgels, to swords, to arrows, to flintlocks, to automatic weapons, to nukes - we have figure out newer and better ways to kill each other.
That being said, today the world is in extreme danger. War is still man killing each other in the most awful ways. Why? Like I said, it is in our nature. Our carnal nature. We can only hope that sanity with trump insanity.
