It's not inevitable and I doubt it will ever happen. If it was going to happen it would've happened in the 1960s at the height of the Cold War. Nuclear war isn't really even a war, it's mutually assured destruction, that's why it won't happen because would you get into a fight you were gaurunteed to die in? Nope. Even the Soviets realized this, the Cuban Missle Crisis was the most dangerous point in human history, much more dangerous than the time we live in. |
I agree. And whoever launches the first volley loses the nuclear war. The other side doesn't even have to return fire for destruction to be mutually assured. The Cold and The Dark: The Aftermath of Global Nuclear War (by Carl Sagan) explains this in chilling detail.
