Looking for some insight from WAB members on a speculation, as I know there are quite a few with reasonable knowledge on the subject.
Centered around the idea of a future (lets say 50-200 years from now), and I understand making predictions that far out is very difficult, whereby the availability of nuclear weapons to a large group of nations becomes inevitable in a world divided into hundreds of nations with increasing wealth and increasing dissemination of knowledge, and advances in technology ? Or simply future nations can make the steps towards nuclear weapons much easier than 20th century world powers?
That social, economic, informational and technological developments moving forward will make containment impossible.
Ignoring the idea of constant military intervention, does this seem like an inevitable outcome on a century timescale?
