Do you think a full out worldwide large-scale military conflict will ever happen again? Or is the world too connected for it to happen? Or there just too much risk for high casualties?
I personally don't see a huge military conflict happening. People are too civilized nowadays for it to be full scale war like those other previous wars. The world is more connected now than ever before because of technology. And with the internet there is no borders.
One argument would say another military full out world war would be horrible. The weapons now are more devastating than ever before. A world war conflict would result in perhaps extremely high casualties.
Another argument would say are weapons are more precise. So the targeting of civilians would be less of a factor than the carpet bombings you see in previous world wars.
Maybe a world war military conflict won't have as much collateral damage. So therefore less civilian casualties.
I don't know, I'm obviously no expert.
