El Salvador is not one of the Major Powers and never has been.
You’re flailing desperately now.
When?
I could list stupid British war for hours.
there are hundreds of them.
What is the pattern here with your examples? Can you see it?
The British are stupid?
Do you want to learn about when the British started a war in Africa over a chair.
No, Try again.
France (another major power) once started a 20 year war in Europe because some private got drunk and started getting friendly with an Italian woman.
When?
Before the invention of nuclear weapon and the world was divided into 5 major military alliance making large scale conflict all but pointless unless we are going to blow the whole world up.
You’re starting to get there, congrats.
Yes the threat of nuclear death does make peace easier.
which is why the idea of using nuclear weapon in any conflict is utterly stupid.
well world war one started because a failed assassin want to get a sandwich.
What it actually tells us is that none of the major powers would want to risk being utterly destroyed in a nuclear retaliatory strike due to overreacting even to the US of a low yield tactical nuclear device or bunker buster.
You cannot win a war if your country has been destroyed and you are dead leaving your country uninhabitable for decades or even centuries.
You have no idea how China or Russia would react if you dropped a low yield nuclear weapon on them.
October 27, 1962 Russia almost lunched a nuclear missile at a U.S Aircraft carrier, the only reason it didn’t happen is because the second in command talked the commanding officer out of doing it.
Yes I do. Their first priority is self preservation.
Which shows that there are always rational actors in the chain of command who can stop poor decisions from being made and carried out.
They became major powers because of luck of the draw.
Lol… that’s not our history as humans at all
Well that’s pure fabrication.
They became the major powers by dominating all of the others for decades or even centuries.
