But seriously what about the Cold War? When two powerful nations built up enough "firepower" to blow the world to pieces several times over. Save for the grace of God Himself, we would have too during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Just because we were lucky doesn't mean it was right. Because when to groups with superior firepower try and prove who has more power, it sometime leads to the only real way to prove it and that is through war, which is something we could not afford.
And the blow up never happened, did it? because both sides knew what would happen. Plus, this discussion is mainly directed at if one side has the firepower.
