Is that premise actually a valid concern though? Last few "wars" have been proxy wars or insurgencies.
- samus 5y agoBoth world wars were preceded by several decades of tensions and also proxy wars between the power blocks. Since nukes are involved this time around, it's in all side's interest to not escalate to a hot war. But missing preparation for the worst case scenario was what went wrong for many participants in previous hot wars.
