After World War One it was thought Weapons builders were the cause of war—So we sank our battleships for peace. After the fall of the USSR we thought the world had changed and there would be no more wars. A guy wrote a book: “The End of History” pointing to One world, a UN controlled would without need for Armies or Navies. Human history was changed. Peace in our time! Too bad Russia and China had not read the book.
I was a good faith effort I guess.
