You're explaining why, GP is explaining that guaranteed mutual destruction preempts the why.
IOW mankind reached such astounding levels of destruction potential that it just obliterated the possibility of war between potent parties.
Case in point, I'm confident we could build even more powerful weapons, but we don't, because it's useless.
- dTal 10y agoMan, don't say that. There's no point building a bigger bomb, true, but there's more to weapon "power" than the size of the bang it makes - precision, for a start. For example, a horde of autonomous killbots is a far more powerful weapon than a nuke; you could obliterate a country's populace without fallout and without touching the infrastructure. Do not think for a moment that the US military-industrial complex would not make these if they could.
