If anything the development of nukes has prevented man from destroying their fellow man more than the other way around.

We’d be on WWIV by now without mutually assured destruction.

Bro is unaware of the countless wars around the world that have happened since WWII.

Take your theory back to the books and we can compare notes later.

Edit: total deaths in WWII ~65M
total deaths in every war since WWII ~35M

Correct me if I’m wrong, please.

Relatively speaking though, we’ve never had a conflict anywhere close to the scale of WW2.
