> peace we enjoy today

Perhaps you didn't read the news in the past two years..

Perhaps you didn't read the part of the parent post that says "relative to the kind of large scale total international wars that preceded [the a-bomb's] invention."

I don't think we young Western men realise how good we've had it since 1945, particularly those of us from countries not involved in Vietnam.

Asian men didn't have it good. The Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, still have unexploded USA bombs on their territories. African and South American men didn't either.

It seems nuclear weapons only allowed one side of the world to bully the rest.

First your point was about Ukraine, now you're on US atrocities Latin America and SE Asia. Yeah, the US did that. I don't think they needed nuclear weapons to do it. I don't know what point you're trying to make.

That the world hasn't enjoyed peace at all. The West just relocated its wars somewhere else.

But the war you referred to first is in Europe, is many orders of magnitude smaller than pre-1945 wars, and it was (for simplicity's sake) the 'West' being attacked?
