At most that was a couple of decades, it's not like that's an ancient status quo.
- JumpCrisscross 8mo ago> that was a couple of decades, it's not like that's an ancient status quo Sure. The century-long peace following the Napoleonic Wars was also some decades. Our default state, unfortunately, is war. But we sought to change that after the horrors of WWII (and the nuclear bomb), and it's worth nothing where those noble goals succeeded. It's sad that project is over. But something being sad doesn't mean it isn't true.
