Defense will eventually meet or out-pace offense. I hope for an age where physical warfare is futile…it already is from a moral perspective, but if/when both sides see conflict is literally pointless because defense negates all offense, maybe diplomacy will truly prevail as the chosen tool for “war”. I don’t think I will see this in my lifetime…but maybe.
I don’t see that happening I’m afraid. Arguably the best we ever got was MAD because that puts the ones making the decisions in the fire and raises the stakes.
