M.A.D

Post by Dontaskme »

Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.
The cause of death, destruction, and violence humans rage against themselves is due to the asymmetry of power. When the superpower nations of the world are ALL wanting supreme power at the same time - that is when that power will be used to become an abuser and cause other nations to become helpless victims. Warring nations in search of ultimate power will just end up in a scenario where they will cancel each other out in a very catastrophic destructive way. There is no way out of this asymmetry of power for humanity. From the macrocosm to the microcosm WAR is a forever event. That's how the whole system works.

Humanity can choose to step back from their own total annihilation through mutual disarmament. However, it's not that simple because of the asymmetry power stuggle that is part of humanities true and raw nature, which offsets the idea of mutual nuclear disarmament more unlikely. Therefore humanity will always be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to their own survival. Of course humans can always agree to mutually agree to choose not to annihilate one another. It's not as if they have no choice at all when it comes to an all-out nuclear exchange. It's not as if there is a gigantic asteroid heading toward earth that they cannot stop, like the one that killed off the dinosaurs who ruled the earth for millions and millions of years. There would be nothing they could do about that scenario. So humanity can still save themselves.

So it's not as if we cannot stop MADness...we can, we can stop any time we choose to do so.

Don't bank on it, because to stop it, you'd have to rid the world of capitalism and religion... and that crap ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon.

Next best thing you can do is utilize the madness to your own advantage.

MAD works perfectly well until it does not.
It has to work again and again, year after year to be effective; It can only fail once.

What are the odds? Infinity against one.

Yeah I agree, that's pretty much true Sculptor.

It's not like there is a reboot mechanism, once the pandora's box lid is blown off.

Thermonuclear missiles roll through Red Square as Putin sends chilling warning to the West: Russia prepares for Victory Day parade while its army continues its carnage in Ukraine.

For anyone of you who thinks the above report is just russian propagander...see the images recorded in realtime via the uk's Dailymail online.
