Yes, and we have a whole clown show along with the bloody circus.

Always the same prophets at the sideline, wrinkling there noses in disgust- but also condeming those who pacify the situation with a constant surplus as greedy and disgusting human beeings. We have parasites that condemn killing mammoths, but know exactly how to cut it up and redistribute it. We have a whole caste of social controll freaks, who know exactly what is good and bad, unless they predict something completely wrong, like a society of violent gamers, and they can walk away from that defeat and not be ridiculed for eternity.

Not only are we not peacefull. But we are also unable to really understandf what facilitates peace, what actors are actually propelling the process of peacefullness-decay and how to sedate these actors.

Nuclear weapons are the only thing, keeping the sociopathic chieftains of olden times from sending us all to mass slaugther to avoid dealing with society internal pressure. How somebody can be so dumb to argue for removal of this society-implant, basically the pacemaker of 60 years of peace- is beyond me.

There was an awful lot of war in your "60 years of peace".

It was an awful lot less than most 60 year periods in human history.

Only between nations where one or both didn't have nuclear deterrence.

Or internally. Or at the behest of nuclear powers.

And I guess those are just 'direct' deaths so it doesn't count all the deaths of refugees or plague or starvation that arose from the conflicts.

And is there and reason to believe the killed anecdotally to killed in action ratio is different than it was pre-1945?

Starving refugees were a thing before nuclear weapons too.
