…Because countries are less willing to fight wars due to the possibility of escalating into a nuclear war.


This is a common thing I see repeated throughout the internet. I wonder what’s Lemmy’s opinion on this.

    Nuclear weapons are the single biggest mistake humanity has ever made next to the Industrial revolution.

    We still fight horribly bloody wars even with the threat of nuclear annihilation. It is obvious that nuclear weapons do nothing but make everything worse, and the materials used to create them would be better used for energy generation.

    If we were smart we would decommission every weapon on the planet and ensure no group or person can make another one, and put the materials to a better use.
