To be fair this was the case all the way until world war 2 which was ended on the Japanese side by nuclear weapons. Since the age of nuclear, it is no longer possible to have minor conflicts between super powers, only mutually assured destruction.
Meanwhile Russia can't generate domestic demand. They got their GDP growth from their war industry.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Since the age of nuclear, it is no longer possible to have minor conflicts between super powers, only mutually assured destruction. Its not only possible, its happened multiple times, but downplaying it (Syria recently) or outright pretending it wasn't happening when both sides were fully aware (Korean war air combat) have been part of managing escalation risk.
- ivlad 3y agoKorea and Afghanistan are obvious counter-examples.
- secondary_op 3y agoWW2 "not ended on the Japanese side by nuclear weapons", it ended when U.S. bombed out of existence 2 whole Japanese cities with nuclear weapons and with subsequent defeat and subordination of Japan witch to this day is puppet of U.S. Since then U.S. waging wars and launder money out of pockets of tax payers into conflict zones it created and back into its own industrial military complex. Here is some punchy whataboutism for your, deal with it.
