Some say technology will fix climate change. The same people who think military hardware wins wars. We developed nations have war machinery unrivalled at any time in history. But…name the last war we actually won. Kuwait maybe in 1991, which was a triviality in military terms. Anything else? We don’t win wars for the same reason they happen. We replaced meaningful diplomacy with military toys linked to satellites. We’re like a giant gated community, protected (we think) by planetary-level CCTV. Being able to see criminals commit crimes doesn’t stop the crimes.
