I see it as a symptom of the economy today, where there are so many disparities that have been built through the various monopolization activities of governments and corporations, that ultimately lead to polarization.
Honestly, if you analyze all inequalities at any level, country-wise, continent-wise, all the pollution we are creating, all the countries still under "dictatorships" and the awful way politicians are governing, it is just a matter of time before we end up into a big global conflict. Not to mention, crime, international mafias, and so on.
Just looking at Israel images, people at a party having fun and all of a sudden their lives are taken away because the other side feels they have been mistreated for decades. There is no safe place anymore.
Yes. And this time, we can destroy ourselves utterly. I think I would prefer that result, but it will still be a last resort - so instead, it will be years of bloody conflict and suffering, only for someone to finally send the first nuke, and then the rest will follow. Maybe just cut to the end - we all see a flash and it is over.
