Then get some nukes and threaten to use them if attacked. Strategy seems to work fairly well and way cheaper. If Russia did not have any their conventional forces most likely would've been wiped out by now. Very strong conventional force I think is mostly needed as a threat to others which is not what progressive society should be looking for.
- Gud 3y agoAnd what comes after the nuclear exchange? A military conflict is 90% logistics. To rebuild, a nation that is well prepared for catastrophe will manage.
- FpUser 3y agoThe whole idea is that potential damage is so high that it makes no sense to start conflict. MAD so far worked good enough to prevent major powers from going to war.
- Gud 3y agoThis assumes all sides will act rational. 1) eventually, there will be a madman in charge of the nukes. Only a matter of time. As long as there are nukes, I believe they will eventually be used. 2) another option to consider. MAD assumes the 1st strike party will also be annihilated. Perhaps someone will figure out a way to use their nukes first while somehow preventing a counter strike. “Unknown unknowns“. 3) technical malfunction
- FpUser 3y agoThe madman will most likely be some isolated small entity. Yes it can do some damage but will be wiped out of the face of the Earth by the rest of the world. As for massive, world ending attack - hopefully over the time all those treaties, agreements and monitoring that were in place before this attack on Ukraine will be restored over the time and improved.
