Has technological progress made war between first world countries impossible?

War can only exist when the attacker are at the advantage.
how are you in any advantage if you should decide to invade a country that has nuclear weapons.
The atomic bomb has prevented world war three so many times and saved so many lives.
>lets abolish the nukes

No. War isn't just about killing individuals. You can destroy infrastructure, destroy morale, and make an enemy grow weak over time. You can destroy an economy. Think of it like in medieval times. A castle seems like an imposing fortress, but to beat it, you simply have to starve it of resources, and to do so you don't necessarily have to sacrifice many lives.

It fucking boggles my mind how stupid can USA and Europe be when they advocate the abandonment of nuclear weaponry.
>>
>>71405826
A more modern example is the US supplying aid to keep England and Russia afloat during WW2. If Germany was able to prevent this, they would have easily been able to take the entire hemisphere most likely. Although I'm sure a Russian will be here any second to tell me I'm wrong

Nukes can be countered by blowing up the planes that carry them forcing you to have to invade to fight a country. So no modern warfare has still made war very possible.
>>
>>71405565
No, socioeconomic progress has.
People across the first world have gotten fat, dumb, and happy. Why the hell would you want a war when your standard of living will only suffer as a result? Not to mention the fact that most first world nations are quickly being eroded culturally, leaving no real sense of identity or honor that might be worth fighting for.
>>
>>71405565
War between nuclear powers is impossible.
War between countries of grossly disproportionate strength is impossible
War between countries accurately informed of each other's strength is impossible
War is now only possible between countries without strategic arms, without precise knowledge of the enemy's forces and without a clear and decisive advantage. Assuming countries are rational, self-interested actors, war is impossible.

Oh we just do that for show.

America has so many nukes its absurd.

We can pat ourselves on the back and disarm old nukes that are dated and falling apart.

Europe on the other hand is asking to be invaded if they do the same. They think they can live under America's umbrella for free? Trump will whip them into shape.

>>71405565

Nukes made that impossible. Which means nowadays war is fought by "NGOs" that subvert unfriendly governments.

The unstoppable force/immovable object arms race will always exist. Eventually, if not already, there will be a defensive weapon capable of neutralizing any airborne nuclear threat.

we would need 2 908 571,5 of the Largest Nukes in the us arsenal to even mildly structurally damage the earth, with a 50% survival rate.
I'm not sure we currently have that many nukes.

Never said anything about free aid. When trump gets elected our aid isn't gonna come as cheap any longer. Rest of the world is gonna have to pay up like in the 40s. It made America great then and it'll make America great now

You only need enough nukes to destroy the atmosphere. Do so and we're toast. The United States has gigaton bombs. In the wrong hands our government could wipe out humanity easily. Israel has this exact action plan in place in fact.

Almost all major powers in the world have it too good to start real wars anymore. Nobody wants to be front line infantry fodder and sending in death drones to kill people just makes the attackers the bad guys.

Keep the nukes away from Muslims, gooks, blacks, and Jews as much as possible and we'll never have nuclear war.

Or we'll just build up our own army, because Russia is not actually going to invade Europe.
>>
>>71406761
But its the same in India though
Both India and Pakistan have 120 nukes

The US is working hard to make small nuclear programs ineffective with their anti missile systems and developments in laser technology.

For a while the type of program run by the UK would hit the US back hard enough that the US wouldnt be able to consider open war an option with them but not for long. The north Koreas and Irans probably won't have the number of warheads capable of overwhelming US anti nuke systems.

You sell 2nd hand humvees and APCs to Europe, station a couple hundred soldiers per base, and run drone missions out of Ramstein.

It's hardly "protecting" Europe, especially since ABM complexes such as the Patriot have a hilariously low rate of intercepting anything when it's fired right at them, only working when fired into the wake of the missile.

You've essentially made Europe a target, many thanks. In any case, yes, please fuck off.

That's what I'm talking about. The Sprint missile gives me such a war boner.

>The Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching a speed of Mach 10 in 5 seconds.
>The Sprint was armed with an enhanced radiation nuclear warhead with a yield reportedly of a few kilotons, though the exact number has not been declassified. The warhead was intended to destroy the incoming reentry vehicle primarily by neutron flux.

That's what proxy wars are for. Just look at the Colombian conflict or the War on Terror.

Couldn't agree more.
We do have enough nukes to depopulate the earth though, just not structurally destroy it.
>>
So long as countries are sovereign, they will act according to their best interests. We live in a time of mercantilism and trade, and it benefits the world powers more than war. That may change one day when resources become scarce. It probably will. We just live in "good" times materialistically. The above statements are an absolute certainty.

On the other hand, a one world govt would be much more detrimental to humanity in the long run compared to individual countries.
