"Why do we love war so much?
War heightens perceptions and sharpens the experience of our being, yet provides a way to belong to something greater and more intense. LeShan notes that war provides or offers temporary solutions to psychological problems, and once begun there are strong social pressures to continue."

WE ARE ON A PATH TO NUCLEAR WAR.

We, the people, should not be fooled by the so-called deterence theory/doctrine or MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) of nukes... Nukes are evil/extremely foolish/madness, and they do not deter/prevent wars. Nukes cause unimaginable destruction/harm when a war escalates with their use or with the use of other weapons of mass destruction.

Nuclear-armed states (countries/nations) refuse to destroy their very deadly nuclear arsenals (nukes), but instead, they are modernizing their nukes for an inevitable nuclear war in the near future.

Maintaining or achieving peace between states is so difficult because our world has become a very competitive/hostile race for wealth, power, and influence/coercion.

And therefore, we, the people, should expect states to prepare for war or engage in war...
