What are some good arguments (besides MAD) that say that the current global situation won't escalate into a major conflict?

Interested in hearing this side of the argument. I don't feel like it's discussed enough here.

Are you kidding me? There are none you turd.
the war in Syria is basically Cold war 2.0
They both pretend to fight IS while pushing their own political agendas
China is getting more relevant with each passing day
Socialist countries are all crumbling up on themselves, while capitalist ones are getting too corrupt to function properly
Europe, which has been a benchmark for democracy in recent history, was hijacked by the EU and the globalists
now the US election
If Killary wins, military war with russia, if Trump wins, economical war with China, possibly escalating into an actual conflict.
Add that to the re-rising nationalisms in Yurop.
Regardless of what happens, we're fucked big time

international trade (although this is pretty similar to MAD, except that economic destruction is not the same as actual destruction)

how can an actual war be basically Cold war 2.0? its called a proxy war u tard

Cold war was a fuckton of proxy wars you dingus.
Korean war was, Vietnam was, and for a few years even fkin Afghanistan was a proxy war.
US and Russian soldiers aren't killing themselves directly, but they're supporting opposite sides. One major happening or misunderstanding could lead to full out war

I've heard none.
I've only heard delusional people that always think we've gotten through that dangerous curve, the worst is behind us and we won't make mistakes again.

Why so vicious? I was only asking a goddamn question..

user pls explain to us plebs how it is that cold war 1.0 did not escalate into a major conflict, yet there are no arguments that the current global situation wont escalate?

tactical nukes are now a thing, they can be used without blowing all to shit, which means, war may happen, and also, they elites may want to provoke a doomsday event, to reduce the population, while they wait it out in bunkers (city size bunkers in which people will have children, many years can pass) and then go out to reconquer the world in neat condition, 1000 years later, this is the plan of the zionists, to make the world the promise land, and wipe us all out. Its already in motion, by the looks of the situation.

senpai do not take offense from uneducated rage monsters.. they know not what they say

What about the arguments that currently a war against NATO would be unwinnable and therefore a strategic banana-skin. ie: Russian and Chinese military capabilities still don't match that of the US

There's no money to be made off of nuking the human race, and those that are left are going to be the (((elite,))) there's really no point unless they plan to outjew each other.

they will choose certain people live in a self sustained environment runned by machines, they will reproduce in a controlled way.

Currently, yeah. That's assuming no internal conflict and a stable NATO. The point being, these 2 conditions are not permanent, and I'd argue not even far away.

>What are some arguments opposing an idea, other than X Y and Z of course I don't like those ones
fuck your thread faggot

ITT: people too young to have experienced the cold war

i think the point is missed here. nato is dominant because of the usa

>Lets not examine the other side and just continually echo rhetoric from the side that we are defending before making an informed decision

get tae fuck

It won't escalate. There are too many ties between countries now because of globalism. War among large nations ensures the economic destruction of themselves. Now wars are fought politically, with currencies, through posturing, by forming alliances, by debasing movements, by cr sting civil unrest, etc. Its pretty faggy.

So one dollar collapse away from global crisis?

>not dying in a war or nuclear strike is faggy

uh.. ok..

Countries have made bad economic decisions before. Hubris is a thing.

It's gonna be fucking chaos I think. 23 and started Uni now after spending several years travelling and getting red pilled from life and Cred Forums.
>mfw I realise how university is creating fragile minded liberals who can barely handle politically incorrect jokes, let alone be prepared for the real world of violence and anger that will reach our beautiful shores

What are you studying? I don't think serious careers have to deal with agenda-pushing, at least in a significant way.

Don't know about you hedonists, but I have already achieved self sufficiency from my home. Bring on the death of billions.

>There are too many ties between countries now because of globalism. War among large nations ensures the economic destruction of themselves

not sure if you're aware but this is literally what some guy said about why Europe would never again have a war....

like 5 years or some shit before WWI

>(besides MAD)

but that's pretty much all there is to it...

we're just gonna have to content ourselves with stirring shit up in the third world like always
