Is that actually true that it doesn’t work though? Has the prevalence of wars amongst similarly armed nations gone up?
I could be wrong but it feels like you used to hear about neighbouring countries having small wars and skirmishes for land all the time and now it’s a relatively rare occurrence.
It’s depressing to think of where that leads.
Also kind of odd to say that when the world wars were both objectively just incomparably bloody with far more civilian casualties than the war in Ukraine and lead to doomsday weapons that can destroy the entire earth … like where else are you depressed to go that we haven’t been already?
