Is it seriously? Right now we're having a civil war in the middle of Europe, "war on drugs" claims thousands of victims each year, both may continue without end and even expand.
And I'm not even touching middle east and africa where civil war without end seems to be the new norm.
We don't see superpower regular army clashes, but we're having other wars in excess.

The Johnson et al. work was mentioned at the end of the article.
