3. the thing that may have kept nuclear war at bay was MAD

Mutual Assured Destruction

It looks like that may be the way to go in the future also.

The fact that we were not the only super power prevented us from preemptively attacking Russia.

So if we put weapons in space so will China. Who wins? The defense contractors that's who.

The neocons have started another weapons race which can only cost us.
