The last World Wars were fought using weapons that were top-notch at the time. Weapons that are top-notch now are at the very minimum nuclear capable, not to mention germ warfare. You think with all the tension and hate these nuclear-equipped countries have is just going to cool off?

In my opinion it takes "narrow minded people with no comprehension of the big picture" to say that these weapons that could destroy the world 10 times over are never going to be used and those who own these weapons also are just going to let them sit underground and rot away. Billions of dollars have been spent for a reason, not because Country A wants to be best friends with Country B. Ever study history? All it takes is a spark to set this all off, and the way the Middle East, Americas, Koreas, etc are all intertwined it very much reminds me of the tensions between countries 90 and 70 years ago


People don't say "history always repeats itself" just because they think weed being illegal is a replica of the Alcohol Prohibition years ago, you know
