Large Scale War? So if Billions die that isn't Large Scale?
Nuclear War...? No one could win? hmm... I disagree
And if someplace has nothing to lose, why not start a Large Scale Nuclear War, at least everyone will be on the same level....
I just feel that I like to play it safe, and believe people are stupider then you may think....?
Cheers!!!

Yes, no one wins in a nuclear war. Do you know what does kind of weapons do to people? Remember the lesson World War II taught us? Everybody knew that a war like that could never happen again because it would lead to the destruction of us all.
In a nuclear war the supposed 'winner' wouldn't be any better than the loser. Everyone would suffer.
I don't really see a point in weapons like these at all. Whats so good with knowing you have enough weapons to take out an entire country? It makes no sense. And I hope the people in power are thinking the same thing.

WWII taught us the same as WWI and the Boer War and the Napoleonic War, we still have learned nothing as we then had the Korean War and Vietnam.. Blah, blah, blah. So don't bang on about Humans learning from their mistakes.
We like destroying things, we like to make big
BOOMS and BANGS. It is the Mammoth Slayer in us all, need a bigger stick, a sharper spear, kill more animals and we have more food for the Winter. More big sticks and we can fend off those lazy scavengers who try to steal our food. Actually, lets make sticks that fly and hit you whilst you're over there, just before you can stick me with your stick over here. It's wired in to your cerbral cortex, you can't fight it, so don't expect those in power too.
To be in power, you need to be power hungry, you need to be aggressive in order to win the votes and you need to be completely heartless about crushing your enemies... Victory at any cost. You think that drive goes away once you are actually in power? No, that's what you vote in, a power hungry, viscious psychotic and then you give him/her the keys to the big
BOOM-BOOM sticks.
He's wired for this, deep in his brain, he knows that one button sorts out the tribal competitors for this Winters food stores... he will use it. Trust me, he will.
That's not doom and gloom, that's nature at work for you.
