There is a lot of war going around, but the big nations realized that fucking up their land every now and then isn't good for your economy

Depends on what you define as a global war. Because prior to WWI, we really hadn't had any truly global conflicts. As big as any wars got, they usually stayed confined to a single continent, and for that matter, a single theatre.

anyone think putin dont have the balls to use tactical nukes?

>>31501186

Of course not, there's no gain.

>>31501206
have you been paying attention to our buildup for the last two years against Russia on their borders? id say kicking the U.S. off the European continent would be plenty gain.
they've got new toys and told everyone around them that they arent for show

There is no major gain that would result from the use of nukes alone. The best approach, and Putin knows it, is a diplomatic one. Once the nuclear option is selected, mutually assured destruction is inevitable. Why do you think Russia is trying to influence the election? Because there are Russo-American interests that can be truly gained from.

The next world war will be the last world war, so i hope not.
