re: #52 EPR-radar

People are kidding themselves if they forget that war is hell. If nuclear weapons hadn’t been available in the 20th century it seems more likely than not that world war three (US vs. USSR) would be in the history books by now.

Mutual assured destruction was both insane and effective.

And then that jerk McNamara came along and made atomic warfare ‘rational’. Which lead to a huge increase in the number of nuclear weapons. ‘Flexible Response’ was a classic choice of how rational is not the same as smart.

After which he went to the World Bank and fucked up bad there as well.
