Everybody likes to talk down on nuclear weapons like they're the worst thing humanity ever created. But I see the opposite being true. Humans have proven themselves to be barbaric war-crazy animals who are willing to fight the bloodiest wars for the most insignificant of reasons. Nuclear weapons saved is from ourselves. With the threat of mutually assured destruction humans became more diplomatic and open to compromise because the stakes were so dire.
But of course nations still fight, the only difference is that the guardrails of nukes insure that the conflicts remain self contained instead of all-out global war.
There's no doubt in my mind that if nuclear weapons didn't exist that the current conflicts involving Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine would have basically resulted in a WWIII by now.
What sat you?
