Is Nuclear war our only hope?

I have been thinking lately about all that is happening in the world. It occurred to me our planet is really turning to shit. Every year the threats get nastier. Countries flex there muscles. China is getting more powerful, Trump is flexing his muscles. I thought, everyone worries about Nuclear war, I do, and rightly so. But, it occurred to me. I will bet you London to a brick that our super powers have bombs that they could drop that would decimate human life and leave infrastructure. Biological weapons that could destroy humanity. Sure, we are not supposed to have them. But I bet we do. Imagine that, no nukes, just a few chemical bombs and a bazillion people die, with all the resources intact. We are heading to hell in a hand basket.
Compare that to a nuclear war. Most smart folks say it would be the end of humanity, I guess they are probably right. But suppose for a minute that a Nuclear war did break out. The world turns to shit, billions of people die, Nuclear winter sets in. Sooner or later the planet would come back, it always does. Would it be so bad for us all to be sent back to the Iron age? Small communities, left to rebuild our planet. Hopefully all us stupid old bastards like me and the rest of us don't survive. But our kids do. They are so much better than us. They care less about color, less about stupid shit like we do.
Maybe a trip back to the stone age is all the hope we have for long term survival. Our resources are running out, we have global warming, pollution, so so much world destroying stuff our stupid generation is responsible for. Maybe it would be for the best long term.
Like I said, our kids are so much better than us. Most kids don't give a shit what color your skin is, most kids don't give a dam if you are gay, our kids don't really see borders like we do, they live in a global community.Us old folks, walk the walk, and talk the talk, but I wonder how comfortable some of us really are.

Yes, but maybe the new techies will be our kids great grandkids and have learned from our generations stupidity, maybe they will get it right.

They will probably write down what happened on pergament scrolls warning the future youngs of what we did today.

I'm not in the least bit worried about nuclear war, never going to happen...Trump isn't flexing his muscles, he isn't being aggressive in the world, the world is getting more violent on its own and Obama's 8 years has seen to that...

I am not wanting to constantly debate, it weird, this place has turned into a war zone. But Trump seems like a madman, tensions have escalated 10 fold since he has been in office. I can't fathom how anyone can not see that.
You have the moat powerful man in the world that can be baited by a tweet, that acts like an angry kid. I completely understand if folks agree with his policies? I don't like them, but that is a matter for an individuals political disposition. But as a representative of your country. I am embarrassed on your behalf. He is no statesman. He is an idiot. Seriously, the things he says, the other week he challenged someone to an IQ test????
What next, a fight behind the shelter sheds. I swear to God I mean you folks no disrespect. But most of the planet thinks he is an idiot.

Yes the issues are world issues, not just American issues, but whenever the world has a serious problem it always seems to be the Americans sorting it out for you all...

Obama caused more problems than he solved, even domestically here in the US...It will take years to fix his hypocrisy and arrogance...

no it won't= even the idiots in charge are not that stupid!



who's "we"?

Yes it will. It's inevitable. When WW3 brakes out, and that is question of when, not if, they will be used. And we is obviously humans in general. The human race has been waging war since the beginning of time. We are warmongers. War will never just stop happening, the rich and powerful profit to much off of it.
