"without you all this killing cant go on": It's impossible to disarm, because it's impossible to prove the other guy (russia, china) is being honest about disarming.

The long peace has lasted 50 more years since that song was written.

Do you have a particular point to make regarding the song?

Long peace? The US is in the longest war in our history.

Edit: second longest, but still > 16 years. We'll break the record soon enough.

The Long Peace means there have been no wars between major powers since 1945, we fear nuclear weapons. All wars now engaged in by great powers are asymmetric.
